Hugging Clouds

Lovely people, excellent food, and clean accommodation very close to Adam’s Peak. Gave us lots of advice on our hike. Great to come back and shower and have a yummy breakfast after the beautiful hike. Highly recommend for anyone looking for accommodation or even just a meal in this area.

The staff here is 5 star plus! We arrived after the restaurant closed and without us asking, they called the cook to come back and make us dinner and it was great! Also, my husband left his favorite t-shirt and they were kind enough to send it to our next hotel in Colombo! They are the nicest people and obviously willing to go above and beyond for their guests! We can’t thank you enough! Hotel is clean and amazing location close to Adam’s Peak. Definitely recommend!

This is the perfect place to stay to hike Adam’s Peak AND explore Nallathanniya. Do yourself a favor and book at LEAST two nights. We rearranged our plans to stay a second night after hiking Adam’s Peak and one of the owners took us on the most epic and beautiful tour of the tea plantations and waterfalls in the area. A highlight of our trip and views that rival the train ride to Ella. You can see their reviews for tours by searching Hugging Clouds Tours. Food was excellent, especially the Lumprais. Breakfast stellar. Staff amazing. They went above and beyond to help us with a train ticket issue as well. Amazing customer service. We were sad to leave, but look forward to coming back.

we paid $20 USD per room for two rooms. we checked in around 2 pm. we had a wake up call for 2 am to clip Adams peak. we ate at the hotel restaurant, meal was simple and good, we had a couple of beers as well. the hotel is close to the start of Adams peak. we pre walked to the start in the late afternoon to scout our route in the daylight. we started Adams peak at 2:30 am and returned to the hotel about 6 hours later. the hotel rate included breakfast. breakfast was great, fruit, toast, eggs, and pancakes. coffee was weak but its a tea country! we found the journey up Adams Peak was weird as there is constant music and sales people from stands the whole way up. some of the male vendors were a little creepy aggressive toward my 15 year old daughter and y wife. they said it felt like visiting Morocco as the men smoke and gawk at women. this was one of the few hotels that lived up to the reviews and the price was amazing. simple rooms, no air conditioning but cool enough for us. no actual wifi which was same at almost all hotels in Sri Lanka.

We stayed here for the second time, and I know that we will choose this hotel for our next trip. It is like you return to your own home. Location is close to Adams Peak, surroundings are very calm and you can really rest near lake, waterfalls without crowds. But the most amazing is loft decor, cozy rooms, tasty breakfast. And of course the most friendly are host and his family. They know how to run this business to make happy their guests.
