Ella chanidu Inn

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour, notamment la très belle vue depuis l’hôtel. L’emplacement est certes un peu éloigné du centre, mais cela reste largement compensé par le calme, la qualité de l’hôtel et surtout l’excellent rapport qualité-prix. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Utterly stunning place to stay as the room is literally perched on the side of the cliff with uninterrupted 180 degree views, walking distance to town, and delicious breaky made by the family. 10/10 can recommend and would stay again.

Clean property, spacious and exactly how described on the listing

Habitación bien y con buenas vistas.

La presión del agua es bastante floja.

Posizione eccellente, colazione buona. La famiglia ospitante molto gentile. Una vista mozzafiato. Lo consiglio assolutamente

Dovrebbero fare qualche piccolo ammodernamento nelle stanze, magari mettere le zanzariere. La stanza si affaccia sulla montagna di conseguenza la stanza si riempie subito di mosche e moscerini.

Personal molt atent. El marit et porta en tuk-tuk on vulguis per un preu molt més assequible del que pots trobar al centre. Les habitacions són grans i netes, té nevera, aire acondicionat i mosquitera. Les vistes i la ubicació són espectaculars. Una terrassa privada on esmorzar. Està allunyat del centre i per nosaltres és positiu perquè Ella és molt turístic i molt sorollós.

L'aigua de la dutxa i del lavabo tenen molt poca presió.

O alojamento está muito bem localizado e a vista dos quartos é lindíssima. O pequeno almoço era muito bom! A dona do estabelecimento também nos arranjou uma boleia para Dambulla e ficou super barato!

O nosso chuveiro não estava com muita pressão.

La vue du balcon et l’accueil des hôtes

L’odeur de naphtaline dans la chambre et pas de connexion wifi Hotel ni 4G personnelle ce qui est handicapant pour organiser les plannings des journées.

Schöne Aussicht vom Balkon, nette Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück!

The view is amazing and breakfast was very good on the second morning. The room and the bathroom are clean and there is hot water.

Breakfast on the first morning was nothing special: it is better to ask for Sri Lanka breakfast rather than continental. The host were a bit less welcoming than in other hotels and home stays in Sri Lanka, but overall we had a very pleasant stay.

Las vistas eran super bonitas, y estaba en una zona tranquila. El desayuno era casero, y medianamente abundante. La cama era grande y cómoda.

El baño era pequeño, y no estaba muy limpio. El techo tenía piezas abiertas, y escuchábamos un ruido que venía de ahí pero no sabíamos que era, queremos creer que era un perro. Habían bastantes bichos, pero no era algo que nos preocupara dado que al final estás en plena montaña. Y por último, recalcar que se escuchas absolutamente todo de la habitación de al lado, y los coches que pasaban por la carretera (que son bastantes).

Very comfortable rooms with perfect view. Breakfast delicious 👌

All good

Great location with beautiful views. The breakfast was superb and one of the highlights of our stay. Highly recommended!

The Entrance is kinda Spooky but not a big issue

Endroit magnifique, avec une très belle vue. La chambre et salle de bain très propres. Eau chaude. Literie confortable. Les hôtes sont sympas, et bon petit déjeuner.

Clean and spacious room with comfortable beds. Property was a 10 minute walk into Ella town so very convient (just beware of big hill to walk into town). The owners were very friendly and have a tuktuk so took us to see various waterfalls for a very reasonable price and even woke up early one morning to take us to little Adam’s peak at sunrise. They even helped us to organise our onward travel to Kandy

Wifi wasn’t great but this didn’t affect us too much

Amazing family, very nice and helpful. Delicious breakfast. The men was very helpful, drove us to little Adam’s peak for sunset, pick us back up from 9 arch bridge. Another day he brought us to see waterfalls. Very good price with his Tuktuk. Thank you for your hospitality ❤️

Hilfsbereite Inhaberin mit schönen Zimmern und einem wunderbaren Blick! Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt 👍🏻

We had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help. The location is also perfect, close to everything. Highly recommended!

Amazing breakfast with a really nice view. Welcoming owners, that offered tuktuk drive and laundry.

Nothing

Le séjour était correct dans l’ensemble, mais nous avons trouvé le prix un peu élevé par rapport aux prestations proposées. Les rideaux ne sont pas suffisamment occultants, ce et cassé donc on peut pas le fermer..ce qui fait qu’à 5h30 du matin la lumière passe complètement et nous réveille. C’est dommage car cela impacte vraiment la qualité du sommeil. Le petit-déjeuner était également assez simple et pas vraiment à la hauteur du tarif demandé. Avec quelques améliorations sur ces points, l’expérience pourrait être bien meilleure.

Nette Gastgeberin, toller Balkon mit super Aussicht & das Frühstück war lecker

Dusche hatte etwas wenig Druck… aber für den Preis absolut verkraftbar :)

Big glass windows and beautiful view from the bed. About 10 min footwalk to the city center. Very quiet, very nice owners!

Vista spaziale!

Nulla

Die Unterkunft hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Der Ausblick vom Zimmer und Balkon ins Grüne war wunderschön. Besonders schön war auch, dass wir das Frühstück direkt auf den Balkon gebracht bekommen haben – es war sehr lecker.

Las vistas son espectaculares desde la habitación. Muy buena relación calidad-precio, y un buen desayuno. La atención muy amable, la chica madrugó para darnos el desayuno muy temprano para coger el tren.

Pokój czysty, ale trochę ponury i bez klimatu. Bardzo mili i pomocni gospodarze, pyszne śniadania!!

Stanza semplice ma pulita. Bellissimo il balcone affacciato sulla vallata dove ci servivano la colazione.

Non è vicino al centro di Ella, le sapevamo ma per noi non è stato un problema

El lugar está muy bien ubicado, la habitación muy confortable con vistas increíbles hacia la montaña, incluso ves pasar el tren. A pesar de estar cerca de una calle transitada, no escuchas ruido. Los dueños muy simpáticos, tienen un tuk tuk y te ofrecen varios tours ademas de acercarte al centro si quieres. Esta muy bien ubicado, a 10 min a pie del centro de Ella. Nos lavaron la ropa también por buen precio.

Todo muy bien

Molto carino, bel panorama dalla stanza e proprietari super disponibili, ottima la colazione.

Simple yet well equipped rooms with stunning views and the soothing sounds of wildlife. A peaceful escape within walking distance of Ella’s lively streets and close to many local attractions.

Nothing

Die Aussicht vom eigenen Balkon ist super! Da schmeckt das ohnehin schon sehr gute Frühstück direkt noch besser. Und auch die Lage ist großartig: den 1 km bis ins Zentrum von Ella kann man gut zu Fuß gehen.

Das Zimmer ist sehr hellhörig, sowohl die Straße als auch die Gäste im Nachbarraum nimmt man deutlich wahr. Mich hat es aber nicht so sehr gestört.

Красивый вид. С балкона можно наблюдать за идущим поездом. Постельное белье чистое, мягкие подушки и матрас. 5 мин идти до станции Элла. До центральной улицы с ресторанами идти 10 мин. Рядом чайные плантации.

Нет кондиционера, только вентилятор

The room was clean, tidy and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed has a mosquito net, and there was a fridge and kettle for food and drinks. The most spectacular part of the property was the view - you can see the expanse of the valley and the trains that run by. It’s a short walk to town in a quiet area. The owners are incredibly kind, helpful and hospitable. Sugath arranged to take us to Diyaluma falls for a great price and even stopped along the way to buy us fruit. When the shop did not have the drink we wanted, he went out of his way to get it for us. Amazing hosts & highly recommend to stay with them!

Beautiful views and nice quiet, private location.

The view from the room / balcony was fantastic. Especially early in the morning with mist and birdsong. Breakfast was exceptional too - and made at very short notice from us, so much appreciated. The bed was big and comfy and it was nice to have a little fridge. The owner drives a tuk tuk which came in handy. Getting to Ella station or town is not a problem if you don't feel like walking.

The bathroom needed a clean - there was a distinct smell of old wee, and the mirror needs a polish. A hand towel would be good. The 'wet room' shower means the entire bathroom becomes lethally slippery. Finding the property at night was a challenge as it is hidden down some steps with nothing to suggest its presence from the road. Some signage and a more visible entrance would help. Communication was not always easy with the lady. She was lovely and we felt welcome, but were never quite sure if requests were understood!

Great hosts! Very responsive, picked us up from the train station for free! Took us out both days on their tuk tuk. Had an amazing trip to waterfalls as well as being driven to the start of Little Adam’s peak for sunrise and seeing 9 arch bridge. It’s a good location, 15 mins walk tops in to town but also means you’re far enough away that it’s quiet. Good view from the balcony!

The ventilation could be better but open up the windows and doors in the day time and that did the job!

Nice room with amazing view near ecerything

Amazing hospitality of the owners. Breathtaking view from the balcony. Tasty breakfast. Good facilities like mosquito net, refrigerator and kettle. Really good value.

Bathroom gets wet after the shower. A little bit loud from the street traffic at night but that's the location, nothing to change about, we had ear plugs.

- Beautiful view from the balcony, really peaceful and I watched the train passing a few times - Lovely breakfast - Relatively quiet, 10 min walk from the edge of Ella but torch definitely required - Owner organised a taxi to my next destination with a nice English speaking driver at a reasonable cost

- I asked for breakfast at 07:30 and I was told that’s too early - Charged expensive tourist prices when owner offered to take me to see a waterfall. I expected to pay something but he did not mention that the cost for the “service” was 12000 SLR until afterwards. He ran lots of errands whilst we were travelling back which would’ve been fine had I not been paying so much for the experience. Really disappointing, I would’ve organised alternative transport and spent more time there instead of hurrying the visit too. - Communication slightly difficult due to limited English - Fridge didn’t work - The floor wasn’t very clean - Lighting and clear signage outside would help in finding the property at night

The view is beautiful, you can even see the train passing by. Super clean, the property is managed by a lovely local family. The breakfast is delicious

It can be noisy, but if you bring your sleeping earplugs it's fine

Exceptional views. The climate is cold and nice, the breakfast is yummy. The host is very helpful. Value for money. Very clean and tidy, just on the road. Will visit again.

The view is incredible, family are lovely and the beds are really comfortable. Perfect!

Nothing

The view from the balcony is amazing, also you can see the train passing by. The people who run the place are super helpful and friendly. I opted in for breakfast and it was delicious and really good value for money too! The place is 15 minute walk from Ella center and the road is full of beautiful tea plantations.

The hotel is close to a big road so you hear all the traffic but it wasn't a big deal for me 😊

We stayed just one night as being on the journey across Sri Lanka. But room we stayed was the best during 10 days in this country. Very new, clean, modern and comfortable. Big bathroom and two big beds. There is a balcony with an amazing view on rain forest with mist in the morning. We asked for early breakfast which is served on the balcony. Quality and size of breakfast was perfect and all was delicious. Owners were very supportive and took care of us. Walking distance to the Center of Ella. Highly recommend stay in this place

The view from the room is gorgeous! And it’s lovely that you can sit and enjoy it. The bathroom was clean.

The property is actually quite hard to find, especially if arriving in the evening. We had to have our driver call the owner for instructions on where to find the place. There is a tiny sign out the front which is easily missed. On arrival the room seemed very nice, however once you got settled it was obvious that the room hadn’t been cleaned very well which is a shame. The sheets were dirty and the pillows smelt like sweat. The towels definitely were not clean either. The whole room smelt like damp and we were freezing during the night. We hardly got any sleep due to the dog that was barking all night long. When we spoke to the owner in the morning he said it was because people feed the street dogs so they come back and bark for attention, so it’s something to keep in mind. Theres also basically no sound proofing, you can hear people in the room next to you.

The views and tranquillity were stunning. It was a 10 min walk from Ella train station mostly through tea plantations - it is well worth the walk, there is a short but steep hill on way back into town which we loved for the exercise, but plenty of tuk tuks going past if you don’t fancy the walk. The place is family run and hosts are lovely. It is exceptionally clean. We opted in to breakfast and it was a trip highlight- sitting out on balcony with view. Wifi was intermittent but we didn’t mind that as allowed kids to disconnect and read. Family room is great.

Nothing

The property was located 10 min outside of Ella, which was easily reachable by foot. The view was absolutely amazing. The owners always tried to help when we had a problem and the even asked us to rent a scooter or tuk tuk. Breakfast was very good.

Unfortunately we had many insects in our apartment and it wasn’t ventilated the best.

Breathtaking view and delicious breakfast! There is also refrigerator and kettle in the room free for your use😊

The wifi was not working most of the time plus the room could have been a little bit cleaner🙁

It got an amazing view to enjoy. The rooms were very hygiene. Family room got an bath tub too

It would have been if they provided the breakfast too for that price.

Good location, just a few minutes ride to town. Excellent hosts, Chamara was very friendly and helped us to arrange transport for our day trips (: breakfast was sumptuous as well! Favourite thing was definitely the view right outside the balcony (:

Inevitably, due to the surrounding environment, insects are attracted to the light and can be a nuisance at night. We wished that the room was a little better ventilated as well.

The view, the breakfast, the room, the owners.. It was amazing!

Private balcony with beautiful view...lovely place to just while away time. Great value with super nice owners and fab breakfast.

Wonderful peaceful setting with the most friendly attentive hosts. We were welcomed with coffee on the balcony and the most amazing views of the mountains, you can even see the trains coming into ella. We had the best breakfast so far in Sri Lanka at chanidu ella inn! The hosts even transported us to the train station for early train. Definitely recommend this place!

The views were incredible !!

The View, breakfast, location

Amazing view, best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka, comfy bed, super nice hosts! Liked everything about the place.

Loved all about the stay! Maybe a sign at the street would make it easier to find the hidden place ;-)

Location is wonderful, very nice view of the hills and super calm environment. Hosts are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. It is walkable to town, takes about 15 minutes. Beds had mosquito nets, which come in very handy. We had a superb stay in Ella.

There are a lot of mosquitoes, but that is just how it is.

The view from the balcony was awesome! Traditional Sri Lankan Breakfast was extremely delicious and the hosts were very warm and welcoming.

Amazing location! Good stuff very friendly. Simpel but relaxed. Lovely view of nature. It s a hidden beauty place wich you really should visit Everything View, food quality , staff everything was exceptional and worth every single penny. They rented us a scooter and we had soo much fun ,Ella is soooo beautiful

There are wonderful view in that place. Highly reccomend.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Important to mention: we had our best breakfast there!!! Definitely recommended. Thanks For everything :)

I've stayed at 3 different places in Ella and this one is my favorite. The homestay sits on a quiet hill, overlooking the valley. It's located not directly in Ella but 1,5 kilometers away. To my mind, this is a great advantage! It allows you to avoid the crazy crowds in town and still be right next to all the attractions in the vicinity. From the balcony, you have a lovely view. The staff is very (!) friendly. They will gladly help you with any inquiries you may have. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfy. The WiFi is stable and fast (since you're here for vacation and not for work, that's not a necessity, but nice to have ;)). The breakfast was great. Considering the price this place absolutely deserves a 10 star review. I absolutely recommend staying here and will glady come back!

The stay was very pleasant , the hosts very helpful , hufe abd nice breakfast , wonderful view .
