We just loved it, the owner was very caring and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The vue was breath-taking, with the waterfall and the night we could admire a sky full of stars. She changed breakfasts for more variety, which was nice. Free shuttle to the city center was very helpful :-) I would definitely recommend this room to couples who wish to have a mesmerising stay!

Ella Blue Heaven is a super charming little hotel in a magical location just outside Ella. We had breathtaking views of a beautiful waterfall and the nearby railway – a truly unique and peaceful setting. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the staff were amazing – always ready to help with anything we needed, from transport to drinks or any request we had. Their kindness and warm service made us feel right at home. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Ella. Highly recommended!

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
