“Perfect stay in Ella!”
The room was spacious and extremely comfortable. The location was fantastic, only a short walk into the town centre (it is up a big hill but very manageable). Above all else the hosts were incredibly welcoming and were on hand to help with any requests including laundry and even a cooking class with the hosts’ mum. I would highly recommend staying here!

The property was exactly what we were after. A nice view of a little waterfall. The main highlight was the staff. The manager Amra was exceptional. He would bring me coffee every afternoon. On our leaving day he walked my bags all the way down to the bus station and made sure that the bus driver knew where to get us off. He went above and beyond.

“Lovely place to stay in Ella! Definitely worth”
This little peaceful place is a really lovely way to relax in Ella! The location is fantastic, just a short walk down the hill into town where there is endless choice of bars and restaurants to try! Close to the train station if you are coming from Ambewella. The owners are so lovely and helpful. They offer to do laundry for you if needed and you can have tea, coffee and juice anytime. The smoothie bowl for breakfast is delicious! The facilities are basic, but very clean and all that you need! I loved staying here and would recommend to anyone!

“Overall nice place I would recommend”
The room itself was clean ,but my only complain was the amount of mould on the walls of the bedroom and bathroom . But everything else was perfect , the bed was super comfy , the shower itself was hot and good pressure😇 . The location was perfect bit of a steep walk up but you’d get over it . The staff were the nicest people ever super friendly they carried our 2 bags (30kg ) the whole way up to the room ! 😍😍

“5* hosts in the most beautiful tranquil setting”
A beautiful little hideaway only 2 minutes walk from Ella centre. The hosts were perfect, extremely helpful and friendly, they went over and above to make sure you were looked after. Did a free cookery class just for me!! Which we then ate, the best Sri Lankan meal I have had. Brought a large fresh breakfast to the veranda outside my room with fresh tea and coffee every morning. Free drinks and food were offered as well as to do your laundry. The room overlooked the valley and a wonderful waterfall in the distance. The views were stunning and in the evening I relaxed on the veranda listening to the sounds of nature. Pure bliss. 5* hospitality. I would recommend and definitely stay here again

It was all wonderful.

The brothers here are absolutely amazing- nothing is too much trouble for them. They gave us free breakfast, did our laundry, dropped our bags into town and gave us lots of recommendations for things to do in Ella. The views from the property are absolutely stunning and the rooms are amazing- massive beds, hot showers and very clean. It was honestly our favourite hotel in Sri Lanka and couldn’t recommend it enough.

“Great stay in Ella”
We had a great stay at eminence Ella, all the staff are very friendly and helpful, they can organise tuk tuks for you if needed which is a bonus. The breakfast was really good and changed slightly each morning which was nice. It is a very central location and can see trains going past from the rooms. We even did a free cooking class with one of the staffs mums who was great and showed us how to make loads of different curries! Would definitely stay here if we came back to Ella!

This guesthouse is absolutely lovely and beautifully maintained, with a view that is simply breathtaking. My room was spotless. I arrived a bit early, and I saw the team cleaning the room thoroughly for 45 minutes before I checked in. The location is perfect, close to the station and town but still peaceful in a natural setting. The service is incredible. Aku, the host, gave me amazing tips. I joined his free cooking class, which was a fantastic experience, and I learned so much while enjoying delicious food. Aku also did my laundry for free, and in both cases, I left a small tip because it felt right. I absolutely recommend this place: it’s an unforgettable experience!

One of the best stays for us in Sri Lanka. The three brothers were amazing. Very welcoming. Amaru provided the best breakfast and was very prompt. Akku helped us a lot in all aspects. Even when we had a problem outside Ella he went out of the way and helped. Isuru was so chill. We had talks abt cricket, politics and anime.. overall, amazing stay. Highly recommend.

“Lovely little stay”
A cute spot in Ella - very close to everything in the main town, and the start of the Ella Rock trail - although up a very steep hill! The owners are lovely and helpful - they offered us free laundry, daily filling and tasty breakfast and helped to remove a spider from the bathroom. The juices offered are delicious! The bed was super comfortable too. The outdoor seating has beautiful views and is very peaceful. We had a lovely stay overall!

Comfortable and in the heart of Ella. The views were stunning and atmosphere was very peaceful. The staff were excellent and very kind. They brought us juices, teas and coffees all included and made us lunch for an early morning safari when we checked out. Recommend.
