The property was in a great spot with a fabulous view! The walk into the Main Street was about 10 minutes, cutting through the train line. This guesthouse is run by Andy, wife and his parents who were a great help for our day to day activities.

Everything at V@Ella was wonderful! The room was very comfortable and well-equipped with smart details for travelers. The terrace was the perfect spot for an amazing breakfast each morning, overlooking the picturesque valley. Andy and his family are so accommodating and helpful with any questions we had and gave insightful tips regarding getting around and local attractions. They go above and beyond with their kindness.

We loved this place and the family who owns it is super nice and friendly. The guesthouse is located in quite area with a beautiful viel over the valley and just 10-15 minutes walking distance to the Main Street which is perfect. Also the local breakfast was perfect to start the day.

We liked everything

Andy and his family are lovely hosts, they took great care of us and made us feel at home. On the day of arrival they messaged us to ask if we'd like to have dinner and I'm glad we did, It was delicious! Rooms have a small balcony with a good view of the mountains.

For me, too many starchy carbs at breakfast. I could have done without the toast and rice and enjoyed more fruit instead. The pillows on my bed were definitely for side sleepers: they were a bit hard and didn't compress much.

Firstly, the shower is awesome, the best I've used since I arrived in Sri Lanka three months ago. Great water pressure and HOT water. The wi-fi is also excellent, if that's important to you. These two things really stood out for me, but beyond this, the room was new and clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. There's also a stunning view of the mountains to enjoy when you sit outside. The location is nice, convenient to town without being right in the noisy bustle.

Nothing, the stay was perfect. It is quite a humid region, so aircon would have been nice just to take some moisture out of the room, but the fan did a good job of keeping the airflow.

The older man running the place was absolutely wonderful, stopping by for a chat each morning as he brought breakfast. There are only 3 rooms here I think, and it’s lovely and peaceful, about a 5 min walk from the edge of the town (the shortcut on the train tracks cuts down the walk along the main road by about 15 mins!). Ella main town seems quite loud and touristy, so being tucked back behind that with a view over the mountains was the perfect respite. Perfect location to walk to the 9 arched bridge, Little Adams Peak, and Ella Rock.

Beautiful spot, overlooking the mountains. We would see wildlife whilst eating our breakfast. The location was perfect for us as it was a bit out off the busyness of Ella but a 10 minute walk if you follow the railways. Andy was very attentive and friendly. He even offered a take away breakfast when we had to leave early on our last day. The room doesn’t have AC but it didn’t bother us at all with the climate in the mountains.

We did not know that the location was difficult to reach by car. It would have been useful to know, before arrival, that the last 800 meter should be done by tuk-tuk

Wonderful host, wonderful location, nice breakfast

It is situated on a hill however the family let us know a shortcut into town which took less than 10 minutes by foot.

The family who run the home stay were the highlight of our stay, they are really friendly and accommodating. The views from the rooms are amazing nestled between little Adams peak and Ella rock. The room is very clean and comfortable with a nice breakfast provided each morning.

This is the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. The owner and his family are so incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful. Our train was 3 hours late and we arrived at 10pm, he picked us up from the train station. Communication via WhatsApp worked perfectly. This is one of those accommodations that you never forget...

Very friendly family running the guesthouse, great view from the terrace and a quiet neighbourhood close to the city and the Ella rock

For me the pillow was too hard, a personal choice.

Lovely room. Very peaceful. Beautiful views. Delightful & extremely helpful staff! A very nice breakfast was served outside on your patio. I would recommend a stay here . Ella gets extremely hot and the staff suggested we use the pool at Mountain View Hotel , just a short distance away. A member of staff kindly dropped us off there & picked us up in the Tut tut. Cost was 2000 rupees pp for 2 hours.

A very nice home stay run by a young family. Very friendly hosts. Room comfortable and the patio beautiful with an amazing view of the mountains. Lovely tea as a welcome. A yummy breakfast was served on the patio. The young owner also takes guests to see the sights with his tuktuk if you like. It seems a bit far away from the town center but there is a short cut that takes you downtown in 10 walking minutes. A very pleasant stay!

I loved my 3-day stay and can't recommend this place enough! I was worried about the location but it was very easy to walk to the center, and to tuk tuk back at night to avoid walking along the railroad tracks (paid about 600 LKR). Staff were very friendly and breakfast was delicious Very comfortable bed, great shower with hot water and water pressure. The guesthouse is only about 3 or 4 rooms and each has its own little private balcony for breakfast.
