Reviews of Minthu Homestay

It was lovely stay. Very quiet place with amazing views 😍 very close to centre of Ella, by walking 5-10 minutes. All attractions very close by, no need of long travelling. Very yummy breakfast everyday prepared by owner. We really loved it here 😍

The place was divine. Walking distance from the railway station and city centre. Amazing foods spots nearby. The room had an incredible view. You see trains pass by too from your room balcony. Loved the family who owned and look after the property. Served us with a lavish breakfast too in the morning. Overall amazing experience. Wish we stayed for longer!

Awesome place, very stylish rooms. Friendly host.

All good

The owners are awesome people! Breakfast is incredibly good - the best we had in Sri Lanka. The view from the room is amazing. They cooked dinner for us one evening and that was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the great time we had!

Great view, nice rooms and very kind host.

The owner and his wife and daughter are amazing! Super kind and available. Super experience with super view!

Beautiful view, spacious balcony with hammock, tasty breakfast, large comfortable bed. Really close to railway so you can see the train from your balcony

- Beautiful guesthouse & great view from the room - Big room & clean - hosts are nice and very friendly I really enjoyed my stay at Minthu homestay.

Wifi doesn't work sometimes but it is ok, not a big issue.

This place was great for our quick stopover in Ella. A short walk down into the town through the shortcuts. Fantastic views. Comfortable beds and yummy breakfast. Great value for money

No wifi or login wasn’t given out if there was but no trouble for us as we have a good data plan for Sri Lanka

Very nice stay at Minthu homestay! Incredibly tasty and varied breakfast! 😋Friendly staff!Close to the city center, yet quiet!

The room was nice! Clean, nice bed, lovely balcony with swing and sofas.

The views are spectacular, from the terrace and the room. Lovely breakfast on the terrace. The owner was so kind! He went out of his way to help us. Our tuk tuk broke down because of petrol and he sent someone within 15 minutes. Lovely atmosphere and so close to the town, walking distance. I recommend staying here!

The water pressure wasn’t great for a shower, and sometimes the water was cold. But that’s all I could fault!

Perfect view, just next to Ella. Great hôte, rooms and bed was large and clean. Perfect place

I had to go

Lovely, light, bright room, comfy bed and memory foam pillows, beautiful view. Ruwan and his staff were helpful and accommodating, and arranged a scooter for me to hire. Such great value for money. I was concerned about no AC when I booked from boiling hot Arugam Bay, but Ella was lovely and cool in the evening and the place stayed cool during the day too, no AC needed, hardly even used the fan.

Soundproofing is not great, you can hear your neighbours on either side and people walking (and kids running, chairs moving...) on the floor of the restaurant above. Still 10/10 though, because for the price you expect some downsides and my experience was largely fantastic!

The location was excellent..very easy to go trekking, walking to Adam's peak and Ella Rock and waterfalls. The terrace is the best part about the locality, you could spend a whole day there. Minthu and his family are really sweet.

It was a great stay!!! So nice place with an amazing view and a big balcony. I will come back to this calland peaceful place. Loved it. And also the breakfast was amazing 😁

Great view of the opposite waterfall and Ella Rock from the terrace, where a good breakfast is served. You can also partially see the trains passing by and later you can see them in the bend near the waterfall on the other side. We also enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the evening. Wifi worked. The owner rented us his scooter for a few days. Everything was relaxing and chill. Great value stay in a great location.

We just missed more storage space in the room. One bench, which could only be used as a top, was not enough for us. I am also not a fan of carpeting throughout the room - the question is how well it can be vacuumed. But the price is more than reasonable.

The location is amazing . The view during your breakfast is the best way to start the day . The owner is so nice and friendly.

Big room with great location and wonderful views. Super friendly and helpful host. Delicious breakfast.

Water pressure for the shower could be a bit better.
