The location was lovely, across from the waterfall, and close to the start of Ella Rock trail. If you want a little secluded cabin in the wilderness, this is the place. We had incredible breakfast every morning, and they were so helpful and provided transport to town whenever we wanted. The service was outstanding and always with a smile! Highly recommend this place.

It's so unique. The room was comfortable and spacious for a family of four. The balcony was the perfect spot to chill with a book and some tea. Breakfast was yummy. The location was great. Quiet, yet near the main street with all the restaurants. Mr Laal and his wife were very hospitable.

Perfect location in a quiet street - close to the bus stop, a few minutes walk from the centre, near the trailheads of 9 arch bridge and Little Adam’s Peak (perfect especially for a sunrise hike).

We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. It was a wonderful place with an amazing view. We wished we had more time, but we already had other plans. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly; he arranged our scooter rental and even picked us up from Ella train station. The free breakfast came with a beautiful mountain view, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot some monkeys! The room was clean and lovely. We’d definitely stay here again if we return to Ella.

I travelled to Ella with my wife for holiday. We found Grand Rock View to be a small, tranquil place with a great character. Our room with balcony offered us the views of the whole valley where the city of Ella is located, including the Ella Rock and the waterfalls. It was a pleasure to just sit there and watch the world go by in the evenings. The place was quiet, as it is located away from any main roads. However, the centre of Ella can be reached from there by a 5-minute walk on the nearby railway tracks (which is how people normally get around there). The host was great, helped us to orient ourselves for our hikes to the nearby hills and was bent to fulfil any of our wishes. He also recommended to us several interesting dining options in Ella. The breakfast at the resort was very good and enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay at Rock Grand View very much.

Gayan and his two brothers were the most gracious and fabulous hosts, and they run a very clean and comfortable hotel in the hills. Gayan very safely drove us around on a half day tour and picked us up from town after dinner on his trusty tuktuk. Room was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Delicious large homecooked meals by the host's mother. They are doing up the upper levels of the hotel for more rooms and an even better view!

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
