“Outstanding”

Fabulous location, amazing view, very helpful and courteous staff.

The staff were excellent, stunning views, the hotel was clean and tidy with an excellent breakfast.

“Clean and calm, with comfortable chairs on the balcony”

Very kind and helpful staff!! The balcony is amazing. The rooms were clean and the bed was great.

Great location, just minutes from the main town and train station, but located up a short steep hill/steps (3/4mins walk) so very peaceful. The room was very comfortable with fantastic views. Nice breakfast and the staff were very accommodating. Wish I could have stayed longer!

“Unbeatable - great view, people, breakfast & location”

So much to love here! The view, the people, the breakfast, the location. Felt like a magical treehouse adventure. Walking distance to town (steps and steep hill) but so little noise. Perfect - one of my favourite places to stay ever!

“A beautiful guesthouse in Ella with stunning views, excellent breakfast, exceptional service”

Stylish guesthouse just a short tuk-tuk or taxi ride down the hill to the lively village of Ella, which has a great vibe. The room was beautifully decorated and furnished, with stunning views across the valley to Adam’s Peak. There was a generous terrace with reclining chairs, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening drinks. The bed was super comfortable, and the room had excellent facilities, including a microwave. Breakfast was served on the pretty terrace outside the hosts’ home and was delicious and generous. The staff were wonderful—especially a friendly young man who helped with our luggage and perfectly represented the warm and helpful nature of Sri Lankan hospitality. I would highly recommend this gem for a stay in Ella.

We had a great stay at Third Eye Ella, the views from our balcony were beautiful, well worth all the steps up to the accommodation! The staff were friendly and accommodating, breakfast was great too, would highly recommend this accommodation

Everything is perfect. So close to town but quiet! No traffic sounds, no club beats at 2 AM, no dogs barking. In fact you get a private balcony overlooking a valley. Abisek is polite and professional and personable and his excellent service is another big plus.

“Perfect spot and vibe!”

Perfect location with great hostmenship and good vibe. Beautiful view from the rooms.

“Great location fabulous view and great staff.”

Great location and fabulous view. Clean tidy room and big balcony. Lots of steps to get up to the room but extremely helpful staff managed our bags. In fact the staff were great. Just a note that there is a half finished building next door but that’s not unusually in Ella! Would recommend.

“Breathtaking views, perfect accommodation”

This is a private Guest House with only two rooms: Opal and Ruby. I think the owners are developing a third room but it looks like it is in progress. We stayed in the Ruby room, which was the floor above Opal. The room was beautiful, beautifully furnished, perfectly clean and the same with the bathroom. Comfiest bed and pillows in our whole Sri Lanka trip. The 4th wall was glass with a balcony and the view was breathtaking. We spent lots of time relaxing on that balcony. The breakfast was lovely and the staff so helpful. The location was perfect, right at the end of the main Ella strip, walking distance to everything, but quiet and serene (the strip can be very noisy). What I hadn't realised is to get to the Guesthouse you walk up a very steep road, and then a flight of stone steps. This leads to the owners house where they serve breakfast on the veranda. There is no hotel reception as such. To get to the rooms you have to walk up another flight of stairs to Opal, and a second flight to reach Ruby. But thats how you get the exceptional views on the balcony and from the room, but you have to be physically mobile to do this. For us the cardio was worth it, and the location meant we could come to and from the room throughout the day as we needed. We loved this accommodation and stayed for 4 nights. I think it was our favourite place out of everywhere we stayed in Sri Lanka.

“My partner and I loved our time at Third Eye Ella. The staff were lovely and helpful. Highly recommend!”

The view from the balcony

I felt really at home here. Extremely comfortable with a great breakfast. One of the best located home stays. It has amazing views and still right outside the town

“Great location, Great comfort”

The location is great and close to town, the breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the room is so comfortable with a great view and monkeys in the trees near the balcony, aircon was great, hot shower great and the staff were so helpful and friendly. If we go back to Ella this will definitely be where we stay again. Thank you very much for the great experience.

Great little guest house, we really enjoyed our stay there. Room and bathroom spotlesly clean. Beautiful view from the balcony, perfect place to enjoy a cold beer. Mini fridge, microwave and tea and coffee facilities in the room. Staff were lovely and breakfast delicious. It looked led better than it does on photos, you get an amazing view from your bed. Would definitely stay again

“Comfortable and clean with an amazing view”

We really enjoyed our 3-night stay here. The room was a good size and spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed and everything we needed - plus a big balcony with a truly incredible view across the valley to Ella’s rock. Big thank you to Abhishek who took great care of us and was super welcoming. Lovely breakfast too!

“Exception services and great location”

Great location and super friendly staff.

Room and facilities were very good. View from balcony was stunning. Mosquitoes net toiletries etc. Breakfast provided was OK.

“Room with a great view of the beautiful countryside”

This is only a short walk from the centre of Ella, although it's a bit steep coming back from the town. The room was clean and had a wonderful view - with a lovely balcony from which to enjoy it. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly.

“A must stay”

Great views from the balcony with the (very affordable) drinks from the bar fridge. Lots of great details like toothbrush and shaving packs, tea/coffee and satellite TV. Comfiest beds in Sri Lanka. Excellent breakfast and lovely staff. Very close to excellent restaurants.
