Great location, slightly tucked away from main strip of Ella which we found too busy. A 10 minute walk to nine arch bridge and start of Little Adam’s peak. Very comfortable beds, we were so happy it was a duvet rather than a sheet.

We really enjoyed our stay at Freedom. The owners, the location, the room and the breakfast were all excellent. Highly recommend.

The internet connection was weak.

The staff were friendly and generous. The breakfast was amazing. The garden was beautiful, and the location was perfect with many great restaurants nearby.

Great clean accomodation so close to everything but without the noise. Breakfast was plentiful and staff attentive. We were upgraded which was appreciated and the owner kindly drove us to the short distance to the railway for an early train.

We had such a great time in Ella thanks to Freedom Guest Inn and their hospitality and kindness. The location was perfect for us and the cost was exceptional given the popularity of Ella. The hosts were lovely and helpful at every opportunity. We were even given a ride to the train station for the early train to Kandy. So grateful to have stayed there. Thanks.

The hot water in the shower last 10 mins a go, so if taking them after each other, spread them out a little longer, however this would not stop me staying here again.

The overall appearance and how central it was to Ella town. The whole place and the room was immaculately clean, the bed was comfy and it had a hot shower. Due to the climate in Ella the fan was just enough however any hotter than it was in April it may not be cool enough. The location was excellent, you could walk easily (and it was beautiful walk) to the nine arch bridge, you can do this by turning right at the end of the road the inn sits on, going out to the main road. You will walk down the B113 till you get to a craggy/rocky footpath on your left (I will leave a screenshot in images) that has a white house on the left within 10/20 metres of that path, follow orange arrows painted on the trees (and orange circles on your way back). This adds to the experience of visiting the bridge. We went for 6am as it starts to get busy from 7am, first train comes at 6.30 (modern train) and sometimes depending on what day one of the old trains come at around 7.30. We also went to Little Adams peak (also walkable from the Inn approximately 40 mins) and Ravana Falls which is a little more of a trek, a good hour or a 10 min drive. Restaurants as a must go has to be the clay pot, best Sri Lankan curry of your life! again you can walk there in 20 mins, take the left before the famous arch in the town( the only arch) and walk up and right to go over the track, should be right in front of you up some wooden stairs( I have nicknamed the stairway to heaven). Good coffee shops are Rocky Ella and The Barn at Starbeans. All in all loved our stay in Ella, thanks to a comfy and clean bed to come back to that had lovely soft sheets.

The host was really nice, we could check-in early, breakfast was really tasty and they always offered more food. Location is great, close to city centre and close to hiking spots. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Definitely recommend.

Our stay at this homestay was exactly what we needed. The room was spacious and clean, with a private bathroom and fan. The breakfast was fantastic, each morning they brought out something different and always asked if we wanted more. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The location was perfect. Close to the main stretch, but far enough away to get some peace. Close to nearby attractions like Little Adam's peak and the 9 arch bridge.

Room by office was very noisy with owner talking and doing his business. Also shared wall with family residence so noisy in the morning.

Good location and quiet but not far off main road

Stayed in April 2025

Our room on the ground floor was quite dark given we kept the blinds closed as the window was right where staff and other guests were walking / eating breakfast. There was only one outlet in the room (and one in the bathroom) which made charging our devices a challenge. But these are very minor things! I would still very much recommend this place to other travellers.

Great location in Ella, walking distance to city centre but not too noisy at night. Also excellent location to walk to Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak! Plenty of parking space for our rental tuktuk. Nearby to a laundry where we had some clothes washed. Breakfast was delicious and staff were accommodating.

No tea & coffee making facilities in the room.

An excellent small guest house which is very good value for money and in a good location, close to everything, yet still quiet. Very helpful owner who will drop guests to the bus or train in his own tuk for free, as part of their excellent customer service. He also arranged a private tuk to drive us around several of the main tourist places for a very reasonable charge.

More blackout curtains.

Nelson was brilliant.

This place was laid out well for our group with a nice common area to lounge in. Rooms nice. Breakfast good. Staff helpful to arrange a tuktuk to tour all the places. Fantastic restaurant just down the street. The location is within an easy walk of town, but off the main road so we were awakened every morning by birds chirping (and not buses grinding and smoking). Would definitely stay here again.

Shower varied in temperature

Really enjoyed sitting on the balcony in line with the tree tops. And the optional beers and water in the mini fridge was a luxury. Friendly staff had tuk tuks to pick up our bags.

Considering the price we paid was low, there was nothing. It exceeded our expectations.

The manager of the apartment met us when we arrived and was very helpful. The place was beautifully clean and nothing seemed to be too much of a problem for anybody there even offering to take us to the station to make sure we had our tickets the day before we were leaving them a lovely breakfast the next morning, including a trip to the station when we left with our cases We had a wonderful time staying at the freedom villas and would recommend it to anybody else that wanted to book apartment in Ella We also really appreciated the thought and help given to a disabled person.

The bathroom in my room was connected to neighbouring rooms by pipes (I think) because you can hear everything through the toilets which can be a little embarrassing and strange, water pressure was just a dribble but nice and hot, and the WiFi drops off in the evenings, but overall I'd still recommend this place as the positives are many and the negatives are few.

I loved staying here, perfect location, kind and helpful staff, lovely breakfast served on the balcony of every room each morning, fresh and delicious, spacious and clean room, 5 mins walk to the main road, excellent location for hikes to mini Adam's Peak and the Nine Arches Bridge, drop off service to the railway/bus station which means avoiding dealing with the tuk tuk mafia, glorious views from the top floor rooms. A very peaceful and welcoming hotel.
