Perfect location in a quiet street - close to the bus stop, a few minutes walk from the centre, near the trailheads of 9 arch bridge and Little Adam’s Peak (perfect especially for a sunrise hike). The Fantastic caretaker makes sure the guests feel welcome and is ready to help with anything! He Also prepares delicious local breakfast with fresh fruits.

The location is one of the best in Ella, with wonderful views. You breathe peace. You can watch the train go by from your balcony. They helped us plan our climb to Ella's Rock and lent us flashlights.

Excellent cottage with everything you need: a refrigerator with free drinks, a hair dryer, TV, Internet, air conditioning. Excellent location, in the center, but at a small distance, so quiet and fresh. The main street with restaurants and bars is 5 minutes walk away. Very hospitable and polite owner. 🫶🏻

We enjoyed our stay in Ella Silloam very much. The property is not finished so it does seem a little odd from the outside, but the room inside was the nicest one we had in Sri Lanka. Our room and the bathroom were new, modern and clean. We also enjoyed a beautiful balcony with the view into the mountains where we had breakfast every day. Also we were working there fow a while without any problems. The host was really nice to us, she arranged a scooter for us, recommeneded us all the places we can visit in Ella, took care of our laundry, made us coffee and also arrange a cooking class with her sister in a traditional kitchen, which was superb! The location is also nice, it is a little up the hill from the city centre, but very close to Nine Arch Bridge and also Little Adam's peak (we visited both on foot from the accommodation).

Super nice view, clean and tidy, awesome breakfast! Also our ‚host‘ was really nice and helpful, we’d definitely recommend a stay there! He helped us carry our luggage since there a lot of stairs down to the cottage. It’s not exactly super central but you can always take a TukTuk to the city centre (our host organised it for us :)) and you’re there quick, but can also get back more into nature again for a relaxing stay after the city‘s rush!

Had the best time in Sri Lanka here! The host family are so friendly and kind, doing everything they can so that we are happy. Met the entire family, including the dog! Nice room with terrace, where we had great breakfast and perhaps the best dinner in Sri Lanka! The owner arranged scooter, tuktuk whenever we needed and gave great instructions and recommendations for hikes etc. Great memory in Sri Lanka!

    This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.
