    All was great but should we need to mention something: the bathroom could use an update. Not something serious

    Beside the amazing view, the best in whole SriLanka most likely, the manager was absolutely amazing. Priyantha truly understands what hospitality is. Great and huge breakfast. Amazing colorful garden. And did we mention the AMAZING view already ;-)

    We asked for a double room but were put into triple room which was a bit cramped. Even though the weather is cooler, a fan would be good. Also lighting was dim so couldn't read at night. Bedside lights would be great.

    Incredible view. Good breakfast. Pleasant staff.

    The badrooms need a small ugrade

    We had a great time in Ella and in the ambient guest house. The manager and his team are doing everything possible to make you feel at home. I would definitely recommend Ambient Guest house to all, that is looking for a place far enough from the busy center and enjoy truly amazing cinematic view

    The view is more than amazing. I wont ever be able to forget that view. Its just beyond expectation. You can see Ella Rock and Little adams peak at the same time. Rooms were clean, breakfast was amazing. They were so helpful about everything. Location is 6 minutes tuk tum drive but you can walk easily when you are going to the center. However coming back is a little bit challenge since you need to hike to the up a little but. There is always tuk tuk available on the outside. Loved this place!!

    It can be a little noisy with the road and all the stray dogs, but it didn’t bother me too much.

    The guest house has an amazing view across Ella, it’s quite breathtaking especially at sunrise so make sure you’re up early to see it. It’s up the hill out of Ella which I liked. I arrived very unwell with the flu which wiped me out for 2 bed rest days in Ella. Being a solo traveller the staff were very sweet checking in on me, bringing me tea and offering to visit the pharmacy for me. The staff really do go above and beyond. The manager was very friendly and the owner a lovely guy who chatted with me over tea, some much needed company after 2 days in bed. Oh and Momo the dog was a great addition who loves attention.

    Spectacular views from a small b and b that has been in business for 25 years. The owners were - like everyone we met in Sri Lanka - very helpful in arranging transfers for us and even packing us some Sandwiches for our early departure. The rooms were fine for the amount we paid for them - and we liked the quiet location as Ella is very busy indeed and it was good to be a bit out of the way. Would certainly recommend

    A beautiful homely place with jaw-dropping view of the mountains with super friendly staff.

    Not exactly a negative thing, but since it was a hilly area, in a quiet neighborhood, it was a bit difficult to find transport, especially early in the morning when I had to go to the Ella station to catch the Ella to Kandy train. However, Sanath the manager graciously arranged transport, so it was all okay.

    The first thing that strikes me is the jaw-dropping view in front of the guest house. The place in itself was nice with a homely atmosphere with super-friendly staff, especially the manager (think his name was Sanath). I checked in late in the afternoon which was well after lunchtime and they were super nice to offer me a fresh and tasty meal. I enjoyed this kind of hospitality throughout my 2 day-long stay. This was exactly the place I was looking for when I planned my visit to Ella.
