Dream Cafe: Dream Cafe Accomodation

The rooms above the Dream Cafe have been elegantly furnished to make your stay a relaxing and comfortable one. The wood flooring and paneling together with the high quality linen certainly give this guest house a boutique feel. There are two large couches which can be used as additional beds situated in a way that when you draw the curtains you have spectacular views of the Ella Gap and tea plantations. The bathrooms are new and have all the modern facilities for you to enjoy including lovely hot water.

The restaurant has a garden terraced area for meals and is tastefully lit with fairy lights.
Laundry facilities are available on request and they have good wifi facilities as well as an internet terminal for customer use.

The location is on the main road which makes it easy to stay out a bit later at night as tuktuks are scarce to find after 10pm and walking up a hill in the dark does not appeal.

The staff are friendly and helpful.

Easily walkable from the train station

Aurora Holiday Bungalow: Best Budget Accomodation

Mr Nadun the owner of Ella Village Restaurant has 4 bungalow style rooms in a plot adjacent to the restaurant. The rooms are newly built and wonderfully clean and comfortable. There are 2 front porch chairs where you can relax and listen to the birds chirping in the garden.

The benefits of being in the heart of the town is when all the tuktuks go home for the evening you will not be left stranded having to walk up a hill in the dark. The rooms however have a lovely tranquil feel to them with a small garden area surrounded by forest trees.

The owner serves delicious homecooked breakfasts and fresh coffee from beans, his restaurant is legendary for rice and curry. He is truely a hospitable man and kind family man.

Rock View Guest House, Ella: Avoid Rock View Guesthouse in Ella

Do not stay here at all costs. Whilst staying here my phone was stolen from our bedroom whilst we were out walking. The room was looked and was still locked when we returned. The staff turned from interested and chatty to aggressive and unpleasant when we realised they had stolen my phone. I would not be surprised if the guesthose is closed down by the poliuce now as they told us this is the third time a theft like this has happened at rock view recently. Such a shame as Ella was otherwise a great place to go.

Everything is perfect there.
Very friendly and helpful owners.actually you have to be lucky enough to get a room there.

Zion View: Fine Line

there are many fine guest houses with magnificent views. this is not the only one.
if you like privacy and independence this is not the place for you. If you like family around all the time then stay here.
there is a fine line here between professionalism and family.
also do not book tours, transport etc here; there will be axtra charge to proprietor.
book at Dream Cafe in town; reliable and ho;nest.

Unique Quality: good view; but not the only guest house to have such.
