Very friendly and helpful. We had a rainy stay and could borrow some umbrellas and got laundry cleaning and drying for very fair price. Great view and very close to train tracks for easy walk or hike. Room very clean and very well equipped (fridge, safe, hair dryer, water cooker, ...)

Maybe one of the loveliest rooms we booked in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. It had 2 beds, a porch and a view on the opposite hill with a Buddhist temple. It is not in downtown Ella but you get the view, so it's a question of taste. Breakfast was served on the porch and was delicious. The owner was great and helped us organize our pickup to and from the cottage as well as a driver to go to Yala.

The photos of this property don’t convey the relaxing atmosphere and ambience of the place. Such an unexpected delight. The breakfast was huge. We were so well taken care of and would come back in a heart beat.

Zuzana

From

Czech Republic

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).

Waking up to the most breathtaking view and having a wonderful breakfast served was such a treat. The atmosphere and surroundings off this place is unbeatable. The family has done a fantastic job with the terasse with recliner chairs and dinner table all to enjoy the view. We had dinner here every night - it was the best we have had so far on our trip. Wonderful and so helpful family. We will have to come back to Yolo again .
