The owner is SO lovely and accommodating. Goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Room was clean, quiet, lovely view, great location near to main strip but off the main roads so no noise. Would definitely recommend staying here

Great panorama with a beautiful sunrise and squirrels. The breakfast is big portion and tasty. The hosts are very nice. We were especially happy that they took us to the sights of the area for 2 days.

If you go to Ella, this is the place to stay. Here you have silence from all the tourists and really can enjoy time in nature, watching animals. More than in all other tourist attractions. So this place was our highlight in whole Ella. Also the breakfast was really amazing and the woman helps you with everything. For the hikers, you can start hiking here to Ella rock easily and therefore have the chance to be there a bit more early than others from the town centre.

The cottage has a beautiful view, you feel part of nature, but you are actually a few minutes from the centre of town. We loved the attention to detail the host offered. We had toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste,, shampoo and conditioner and hand-wash soap. You get your breakfast served at your cottage at the time that suits you. We loved our stay there.

The photos of this property don’t convey the relaxing atmosphere and ambience of the place. Such an unexpected delight. The breakfast was huge. We were so well taken care of and would come back in a heart beat.

The best accommodation and experience we had in Sri Lanka, be sure to stay at least 3 nights! I dare to claim that is also the best accommodation in Ella. Don't let the location put you off, the house is not in the center, but that's only an advantage, because the surrounding nature and peace is stunning. In addition, the owner will help you with deliveries to the center. I felt at home there, the hosts are extremely nice people, excellent breakfasts, a view that I will miss every day from now on. I have to get back here!

Ella Silloam

Ella

A recently renovated property, Ella Silloam is located in Ella near Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam's Peak and Ella Spice Garden.

Priyanga is an excellent host and always approachable. The property is located very close to the road from where Little Adam's peak hike begins. The property is 10 mins away by tuk tuk and 20 mins away by walk from the main town. The balcony and the view from the balcony are worth all the money. The cherry on the cake is the delicious breakfast (with a view) served by Priyanga. Recommend this property to those visiting Ella.

Our stay in Ella was serene. The owner is kind, knowledgeable and helpful. His English and communication was awesome. He provided an amazing personalised breakfast that had ingredients bought locally and cooked deliciously. The view from the balcony was stunning overlooking the jungle and valley below. Beautiful sitting out on the comfortable furniture for sunset and watching the beautiful monkeys and birds doing their business. It was close enough that we were able to walk to Ella rock for sunrise, which was beautiful. Thanks for having us would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Sat on the train writing this and genuinely feel sad to have left this place. Felt like a home away from home (with better food and views). The whole family are so so kind and we felt like and extension of their family during our stay. The accommodation is lovely with your own separate bedroom and bathroom (even mini fridge) with the most beautiful terrace overlooking the hills. We had some of the best food of our whole trip here. The breakfasts were huge and delicious and they were very flexible with timings so we could get out early for walks! We also did a cooking class with the family which was a highlight and learnt how to cook so many dishes! The son gave us a tuktuk ride to the beginning of our walks and to the train station at 0630am! (and even found out for us that the train was running from the next town instead) We also rented a scooter for the day which was a great way to explore the surrounding area and they gave us lots of pointers about where to go! Cannot fault this place at all. If you are lucky enough they have availability on your dates, definitely don’t hesitate to stay!

This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.
