Quiet hotel that felt a bit more like a homestay! The room was basic but clean – no A/C and only a wall mounted fan (which was good enough – in Ella you’re quite high up so the nights are cooler than elsewhere, so we coped well with the fan). The doors didn’t completely close so we were grateful for the mosquito net hung around the bed. The room had no safe or minifridge either, but for the price we paid, we really couldn’t complain. The hotel is about 5 min walk to the main street of Kandy where there are several restaurants and shops. The toad is very steep and not lit up at night so do make sure your phone battery is charged so you can use the torch! Think there must have been about 7 rooms, all with a huge balcony terrace overlooking a wonderful view of the Ella Gap. I got up early to sit out on the terrace and watch the scenery slowly lighten and the train go from Ella to Kandy (you can see the train go quite close to the hotel, and then reappear several minutes later going over a bridge – it gives you an iconic photo of the greenery of Ella, complete with Ella gap and one of Sri Lankan’s iconic blue trains! Check the train times first and remember that the trains in the area are often late). Breakfast was provided to us on the terrace; fresh fruit, omelette, toast and tea! More than adequate for a day’s exploring.

Incredible view, great location, basic, very clean

The best thing about Blue View Guest house is the amazing view from your room (apart from when it's misty or raining). It's a short walk or Tuk Tuk from the main town of Ella and around 30 steep steps down to the hotel from the parking area on the roof. The room was very clean but also very basic ie. no wardrobe/hairdryer/shampoos etc but that's what you pay for and it was still very good value. Breakfast was simple but more than adequate with fresh fruit, tea/coffee, omelette and a mound of toast and jams, and the staff were as pleasant and polite as any of the luxury hotels we had stayed previously. It's a great location for exploring and we had a guide (Hashan) with our driver (Hansa) one day to do Little Adam's Peak, (a bit difficult to do the last bit) Nine Arch Bridge (check out the incredible fruit juices in the café above the viaduct), Ruwana Falls, Ella Walla Falls (just as storm came in great walk for 2km including a boulder path in the forest and on a nice day the pool below the fall is great for a swim) finished off with a cookery class with Prya at the Elephant Hotel nearby.

Basic old rooms. Great view and good proximity to town although a 3 minute very steep walk up a hill - you wouldn’t want to do it with bags. Didn’t want to give breakfast before 8am and no offer of a packed breakfast like other places do so not ideal if you want to head off early up Ella Rock or Little Adams Peak. No a/c which didn’t bother me but it was 30 during the day so may bother others. No top sheet was provided so I asked for one and they gave it to me but it was like it was an odd request! Rainhead showers seem to be on the must-have list for every Sri Lankan accom now - there was a shiny new one here, only problem it wasn’t properly affixed to the wall so fell off on me and also wasn’t plumbed correctly so the mixer gave you either scolding hot or freezing cold water and often just a trickle. Overall it was fine but I’d say over-priced for what it is.

Room was okay but no service to be found

The view from the hotel is fantastic. The room was very basic with a double bed, mosquito net, and a lockable safe and wardrobe. The bathroom was very new and clean. The room I had was okay for the one night I was there. What was not so good was the service - there wasn’t much at all! It took my driver 10 minutes to locate someone when I wanted to check in, I was taken to the room and given the key and this is all the service I had for the whole stay. I wasn’t given any info about breakfast and the gate was locked at night. I had to climb over (double my height) to get out for a hike I was taking. I don’t think the room was worth the money and there are many other options in the same street.

Nice views & secure. Biggest issue is that currently a lot of construction going on which does detract from the experience. Staff friendly and try but disorganised e.g. room was still being cleaned at check in, internet kept going down, no welcome drink (despite being advertised) on arrival and no one around when checking out. Breakfast was OK but I had better in the town on my last day when leaving at the same price. I think there are better value guest inns available in Ella.

Beautiful view

This guest inn has an amazing view of Ella Rock and the mountains! The room was clean and the bathroom was excellent with a great shower! The breakfast was nice however we would have loved to have been offered a Sri Lankan style breakfast as they only offered western. A short walk down the hill to the main town also!

Great staff and great location

The staff are so helpful and friendly here. When I arrived they saw I had a walking cast on one foot and have helped me everyday manage the steps and make my stay more comfortable. They changed our room so I had easier access and I can't say enough about the kindness of the staff. I would stay here again if I come back. I loved the view and the breakfast.😁

Good views and pleasant staff

This Guest Inn benefits from beautiful views over Ella’s rock and the owner was very welcoming offering drinks on arrival and was happy to help us when requested. However, the rooms were not cleaned during our stay and towels were not changed which was a little disappointing. Also the WiFi only worked intermittently which made it tricky for us to plan the rest of our trip.

Hard to find a better view. This hotel sits uphill (really uphill) from the main road and around the backside of the hill. The view of Ella Rock and the Kital Ella waterfalls can't be beat. Friendly staff who are helpful. Room was nice and comfy. Big patio area on the balcony.

nice hotel with great views

The hotel was comfortable. The view from the hotel was great. It was in walking distance to most everything however it is a big uphill to get back to the hotel from everything. The rooftop deck is still under construction but will be a great addition when it is done.

Nice place to stay with stunning views over the valley. Lovely to have breakfast in the morning with this view. Staff were friendly & helpful. Room was spotlessly clean. Only slight problem was contacting them prior to visiting (no email contact).
