The location is excellent and the view of sunrise over the Ella gap is breathtaking. Cleanliness in the room and common places exceeded the expectations. The owner is genuine and honest. Breakfast at the open-air restaurant with the mountain view is memorable. The efforts being made to maintain the good vibes and condition of all amenities are commendable. The meals we ordered were made from local produce and reasonably priced. The property suits all types of travelers - solo, duo, group and is also child and family-friendly. I can't think of a better place to stay in Ella than Heart of Ella and will be our preferred choice for future visits. Well done and keep up the excellent service!

The Host was really friendly and did everything for us. He organized our Tours (for a fair price) and also our taxi for the transport to our next destination. The view from the terrace was awesome, if you want to see the beautiful sunset. (You can see the Ella Rock and the Little Adams Peak. The breakfast was also good and diversified. I can really recommend this place to stay at Ella.

Everything was perfect. The room was clean, very nice with an amazing view. The breakfast was excellent (the best we had in Sri Lanka) and different every morning. The hotel is modern and well maintained and the staff lovely. The view of the mountains is incredible. It is easy to walk to the city center but also to Little Adam’s Peack and Ella's Rock from the hotel.
