Samiru Guest Inn Ella, hotel in Ella

Located in Ella, 4.7 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Samiru Guest Inn Ella provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

It was Really clean and well maintained room. The owner was very much helpful. Even though we are from Srilanka he was guiding us how to start the trip and what are unique places to visit at Ella. We travelled using a rented bike so we were able to cover all the areas which he told us. Overall, a good trip.

Nice spot, a bit outside of the noisy area which we really enjoyed. Our terrace (where we also had breakfast) has an incredible view and the whole room was very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast. Perfect stay if you are in Ella!

Mountain nest, hotel in Ella

Featuring a garden, terrace and views of mountain, Mountain nest is located in Ella, 4.8 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge.

I have stayed here about 5 times now. The rooms are spacious and have always been clean. The bed is very comfortable. The en-suite bathroom has hot water (solar powered so it may not work properly on cloudy rainy days) but I like my cold showers so it wasn't an issue. Towels and soap is provided. The place is managed by a young friendly couple. The host, Sanath, has a tuk tuk and his prices are very reasonable. I have stayed at quite a few other places in Ella but Mountain Nest is so far my favourite 🙂

Two nights for a great price. Very nice owner who made wonderful and varied breakfasts. Clean room with big bathroom and hot water. Suitable for people who want privacy and peace. From the terrace a view through the trees to the valley. Our ninth accommodation and the best internet and overall accommodation so far. The journey from the center is mostly uphill, but you can take a Tuk Tuk and it's not far. We recommend!

    Absolutely beautiful location, outside of the touristy town of Ella. The accommodation was immaculate and so comfortable.We spent 3 nights here and the owners cooked dinner for us, which was the best Sri Lankan food we have had so far on our 2 week trip. Incredible view of stars and fireflies at night. Can highly recommend Kingdom of Rustic if you are looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains. Town and waterfalls all within short driving distance, owners are happy to provide transport if and when needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    Do you want to party hard until the morning and eat western food? Then this is definitely not the place for your. "Welcome Inn" is a beautiful family guest house hidden in Ella. What you will find: amazing view from the balcony, mind-blowing breakfast, kindhearted people. Our hosts made us feel like family members in their house. If you want to experience Ella, ask Gayan to become your tuk-tuk guide for the day! He is incredibly knowledgeable and will show you the non-touristy, hidden places in Ella.

    We liked the room and the very private balcony, the rustic furniture and the very nice view of the small tea plantation. Breakfast was very good. Everyday there was something different. We had one lunch and one dinner at the homestay, both were very good. The family were very gracious and the price of their meals very fair.

    We had a fantastic time in Ella. Wasantha and his wife are very friendly. We were welcomed with coffee and tea and had a delicious dinner. Wasantha hiked with us to the Ella rock so we wouldn't get lost. He also organized a tuktuk every time we needed one or drove us himself. His wife gave us a cooking class in their wonderful, rustic kitchen. We were allowed to help prepare our food, which was delicious. If we ever come back to Ella, this will be our address.
