A guest house on the hillside, facing Ella Rock
Ella Heritage is on Passara Road in Ella, a village in Sri Lanka’s Hill Country surrounded by tea plantations. It’s 800 m from the main street and 850 m from the railway station, yet away from the noise: reviews keep saying you can walk into the centre without being in the middle of the bustle. There are five room types for two, from 33 to 37 m², with air conditioning and a private bathroom; three of them look out on Ella Rock.
Guests who have stayed rate it 8.3 “Very good” from 1,068 reviews: staff 9.3, location 9.3 and comfort 8.6. There’s a pool on the terrace, a restaurant, a billiards table and a garden, and the Nine Arch Bridge (1.4 km) and Little Adam's Peak (1.6 km) are within walking distance. The double room with a garden view starts at around US$140 a night.

They did something special for our wedding anniversary. Friendly staff, a huge room and bathroom, and a central location without being on the main street. The breakfast is incredible.

Good to know before you book
We’d rather tell you ourselves than have you find out on arrival. Everything comes from real reviews and the property’s house rules.
🪜
Lots of stairs and no lift
The property is on a hillside: some rooms are reached by climbing about 70 steps, partly outdoors. The staff carry your luggage up; if stairs are hard for you, ask for a lower room.
💵
On-site payment is in cash
The house rules list cash as the payment method on site: it’s worth bringing some for dinners, the shuttle or the extra bed (US$20).
🐒
Monkeys on the roof
A guest in the top-floor suite says that at night monkeys walk across the metal roof and make noise. You’re right in the middle of nature.
🕑
Check-in from 14:00 to 22:00
You need to let the property know your arrival time in advance. Check-out is until 11:00. No pets or parties.
