Ella Hilltop Guest House

Located on the hills the guesthouse roof top provides a breathtaking view through "Little Adam's Peak" and "Ella Rock" down to the flatlands. It is a very peaceful and silent location, though the center of Ella is very close by just walking down the hill. The rooms are very clean and modern with a nice view towards the hills allowing to chill out and recharge your batteries. Worth to mention is the empathy of the hosting familiy which surprised our son with a nice present and greetings on his birthday. We really enjoyed our stay!

Hilltop is in a fantastic location. The rooms are very comfortable and the views are beautiful. There is a veranda upstairs where you can see to the Ella gap. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms had nice touches, such as a fridge. It is up a very steep road so we sent our luggage ahead in a TukTuk for 500lkr and the rest of the family walked. It was excellent value and I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else.

Amazing guest house in nice location to Ella town center. Breathtaking view. Really good breakfast with many options. Very kind hosts and comfortable rooms. We really enjoyed our stay :)

From first moment we were treated with love! And the tea, that they offered was so delicious! Felt amazing, got offered better room, as well, they offered chance to go with train, as it is just starting again, but we were not really keen on doing it in first place, sitting in train for 6 hours, and mby even standing? Thats why we have our tuktuk! But it was really nice of them to offer something like this! As well, they told so much about the stuff we can do around, gave us detailed map, told all tricks and tips. Amazing!

Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. The view is absolutely breathtaking both from breakfast area and rooftop. Laundry and taxi services available. Super chilled, excellent value for money.

This is the most charming guest house in Ella. Tucked away off the busy high street - it has the most glorious views of Little Adam’s Peak and Ella’s rock. You couldn’t ask for a better view while eating your breakfast! The rooms are really comfortable and exceptionally clean. The service is so friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Dhanush who waited on us hand and foot and made us feel so welcome! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

The location of hilltop guest house was amazing (it is up a steep hill), close enough to the shops and close enough walking distance to the trails etc. The staff were friendly but sometimes were difficult to locate but they did give great reviews and local tips! The room had the amenities that you needed but they were dated. The facilities were clean (bedsheets and bathrooms) but some minor water leaks out of the shower (they provided a squeegee to “mop” the water which would seep out from under the shower door).

Would ideally give the property 2.5 stars if possible Positives: staff very friendly and helpful and fantastic location in the centre of Ella. All the main viewpoints are within a 45 min walk starting from the hotel so no need to pay for taxis or tuktuks. The view from the rooftop is fantastic also. Negatives: our room was really not clean. We booked a budget room which is understandable for the room to be basic but it was in severe need of a deep clean and some TLC. There were ants everywhere in the room, the toilet leaked when you flushed it, and the surfaces + corners of the rooms were as though they haven’t been cleaned in a while. We understand that it is a budget option whilst staying in Ella but budget ≠ unclean in our opinion. A little extra cleaning would bring this hotel up to 4 stars.
