Nice room... most beautiful view.... Our family of four (including two young children) had a lovely stay at this guesthouse. The host family lives downstairs and makes the guests feel very welcome and well-cared for. They gave us a large room on the top floor. It was clean and cheerful and the bathroom had a good hot water shower. Our... More

The climb on the bad road up the hill is not worth the trouble. Especially in the evening or if you have suitcases to drag. The area around on the hill is nice, with tea plantations. Quite ok rooms, but expensive. 4500 Rs (beginning of Feb 2013).

we stayed there for one night having read about it in an old edition of the Lonely Planet. It's a bit of a hike to get to but we were greeted by a friendly man. The room is quite cheap at 2000 LKR (April, 2012) and the view is indeed beautiful. It was the first hotel in Sri Lanka in... More

This is an excellent guesthouse where the family look after you really well, the views around are lovely and the breakfast is excellent with some variety. We've had 5 great days here in Ella, walking Little Adam's Peak, Ella Rock, nearby temples and the surrounding plantations. However, it's not a great place if you're a light sleeper. Every night we've... More

I was looking for a place to stay in Ella for 4 days at nearly the last minute. Sun Top Inn could manage 3 days and promised to find another place for the first day, which ended up being the Highest Inn. Due to guests at Sun Top staying an extra day, i actually ended up spending 2 nights at... More

We came to Haputhale, tried to find a hotel or a guesthouse, but could not. Many are there but not clean or distance to the road is too much. Then we spoke to the owner Mr. Udayanga on [--], he was a very nice person. He gave us a special price for the 3rd floor rooms and it was with... More
