Reviews of Eminence ella

Close to centre yet peaceful . Breakfast great

Entry from roof side was confusing

Very friendly and helpful staff who can organise tuk tuks, taxis, scooters etc for you. Lovely big rooms with comfortable beds. Great peaceful location.

The water in our bathroom was yellow which was quite off putting. They sent us off with wet laundry - would have preferred they told us it wouldn’t be dry in time.

Eminence is a friendly BnB with only 3 rooms. Aku was very helpful with local tips and he organised his mother to do a cooking class with us. Bobodu looked after us well and took our bags down to the main road. Breakfast was fabulous too.

The bathroom missed some comforts from home like a bath mat, hand towel, hair dryer with right plug and toiletries.

-amazing view -friendly and accommodating staff -comfortable beds -quiet -5 minute walk to town

We absolutely adored our stay at Eminence Ella. The staff are some of the friendliest we’ve ever met - nothing was ever too much trouble. They went above and beyond in every way, from organising a free tuk tuk for us to offering free laundry and a lovely little Western breakfast each morning, all at no extra cost. The rooms are super cute and cosy, very clean and tidy, and feel more like a small hotel than a guesthouse. Ours had a charming mural on the wall and the views from the property were absolutely exceptional. The bathroom had hot water and soap provided, which was perfect after a long day of exploring. It’s up a steep hill, but tuk tuks and drivers can easily bring you right to the door. A nice bonus - you can use the neighbouring hotel’s pool for a small fee, and they serve great cocktails too. For the price, this place is excellent value. We really loved it here and would happily come back.

Nothing

This property is absolutely amazing! There is a steep climb to get to it, but it is worth it for the view! The property staff are very friendly and helpful - to helping you book bus tickets, to dropping you to the bus or train station etc. The room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was very yum and filling. Could not recommend a stay here more.

it was very clean, provided towels and complimentary breakfast and drinks. Also helped us get to the railway station via tuk tuk and gave us lots of good recommendations, i recommend this property to everyone!

a slight steep hill to it but it is good excetcise after a meal!

The view from the rooms is gorgeous! Aku and the staff were so helpful organising taxis, tuktuks, tea, breakfast and laundry. Very close to Ella town but felt like we were secluded in the mountain.

As mentioned in other reviews, it is quite a steep incline up to the accomodation. It is about five minutes. It is very doable but a bit tricky with suitcases. Just something to be aware of if you have bad knees.

Great room with a stunning view! The staff were fantastic and really helpful. Breakfast was amazing and you can have get tea/ coffee throughout the day. The location is just off the high street into town so it’s easy to go for food. A wonderful stay here, thank you very much!

Just be aware that to get the incredible mountain views, the hotel is up a rather steep incline.

The staff were super friendly, helped us with the scooter rental and the yala safari tour. Location was super! Few minutes away from the main street with restaurants and right in the middle of the most beautiful panorama. I would come here again and again

Its a little uphill but this is the case of all hotels in Ella… for the view make the effort! But if u rent a scooter that would be no problem at all

The room had to be accessed by a very steep hill that even a tuk couldn’t reach. The rooms had no fridge or water or even glasses. At 5.30 pm the noise was whaling incessantly from the temple for an hour and a half. I asked the owner does this happen in the morning and he said no. He lied to me and the next morning it went for an hour. I moved to a different location in Ella and it was great

Great place to stay in Ella. Rooms are basic and a little bit tired. The kindness and hospitality from Aku and, of course, the lovely view outshine any negatives.

The views from our terrace were amazing. All staff were really helpful and would bring drinks to our terrace as and when we ordered them. The room was clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom.

Nothing really! The hotel is at the top of quite a steep hill, which might be something to consider if you have mobiiity issues, but the plus side of that is the great views.

Hosts were great and couldn't do more to help. WiFi and Aircon were good. Nice to get a hot shower in a big bathroom. Comfy bed. Amazing view of waterfalls and mountains.

The sign is obvious at the property and only a short walk from the station or restaurants and bars but tricky to see the stairs down to the rooms.

I would give 11/10 if I could! Aku was the best host we've ever had. Extremely helpful with anything we needed, lots of advices, organizing transport etc. And still with respecting our privacy, we felt very comfortable. Place has awesome view, very close to the main road and completely isolated and quiet at the same time. And having coffee&tea in the morning with stunning view! Awesome!

Some people mentioned steep hill, but it's good for the heart, just few minutes walk:) for me it definitely wasn't a disadvantage:)

AKI is the BEST Host we could have, he managed everything for us as carefully as possible. UDERA is the BEST Tour Guide and a GREAT Photographer. He really did more than 100% to satiesfy our needs. We spent a day together and soulth the most scenic places in Ella. He showed us more than we expected! We got also breakfast surprisingly free of charge, which was not only delicious but home made, traditional and they took care of our food allergies. The view was amazing with the Waterfall and the train just like the nature and green environment everywhere and the city center is only some minutes to walk / tuktuk. We had a phantastic time❣️Highly recommended❣️ Thank you for everything Guys, you are amazing❣️
