The balcony was being repaired, so we couldn't use it.😢

The place was beautiful and high upon a hill, very close to town and station. The guy who served us was very nice and obliging. Breakfast was great, especially the pancakes.

The hill. But it is Ella !

This was a beautiful spot with only a couple of rooms , but more are on the way. It is above ella,so you have a little more open space . It was a simple room that meets the basic needs.the host was willing to help with anything that was needed . The breakfast was exellent and delicious , with fruits ,eggs,pancakes and more the room had a small balcony off it which was nice to watch birds from.The host was helpful , friendly ,and kind

No much.

The view from the window was breathtaking and saved our stay,because we hit a cyclone and spent the day at the villa emerald. Super helpful owner, delicious and filling breakfast.

Welcoming hospitality, comfy room with a huge balcony, delicious full local breakfast - loved it. Sometimes you can hear discos from the downtown (it is some distance below the property), so if you're a light sleeper - earplugs would be a good choice.

Could have provided kettle and tea bags in the room. Payment is cash, which came to our surprise. Card payment should make possible, especially when expecting foreign customers. If cash payment is the only option, customer should be informed beforehand.

View and staff and nice breakfast.

Villa Emerald has two rooms. Ours was spotlessly clean and there was a large balcony. The hotel was also on a very steep hill l, which meant that we had great views. The room was basic, however, it was very good value for Ella. Thank you Supun for making sure we have wonderful memories of our stay. It was my partner’s birthday, and Supun surprised us with a cake at breakfast, which we enjoyed with the other guest. So kind and very appreciated.

This hotel boasts an absolutely fantastic location (although high up a hill), making it easy to explore the area and not far from the Ella Rock hiking trail starting point. The entire property was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. To top it off, the breakfast provided was truly excellent and a great start to the day.

Very good location, the town within walking distance. The host was very friendly and served as our driver to Sigiriya and back to Weligama. He made great stops along the way, allowing us to see all the important sightseeing spots (Damro Tea Factory, the lake, waterfalls). We took a 1-hour ride on the Ella/Kandy train to Haputhale, and he came to pick us up with our luggage. It wasn't a problem for us, but the accommodation is located on a hill, so you need to walk a bit up a steep incline. However, tuk-tuks and most cars can drive there.

Only thing we did not like was the reviews, which was clearly not written by real guests (same stylistic, same type of words used, same ..). Recommend to read also reviews on Emerald Mirror Guest Ella which is the same place with much more reviews. But as I mentioned before, we really like the accomodation, you only have to be prepared for a short uphill walk.

The accomodation was really nice, room was clean and spacious and the breakfast was delicious.
