The owners Saman and Sandive were very welcoming. They made sure that everything in the room was ready before our arrival. Both are extremely friendly and helpful. The room was just amazing, spotless clean, you can definitely sense the attention to every detail. The location is great, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by trees all around. The view is spectacular, you can see the waterfall and hear the sound of running water from distance when lying in your bed, just a wonderful scene to wake up to. Saman prepared a delicious breakfast and delivered it to the room by herself just to make sure that we do not need anything else. This was by far one of the best places we have been to in Ella. We would definitely book that place again on every trip back to Ella. We highly recommend this place.

Everything was great at this place. The owner is just a wonderful person. She was very welcoming and attentive. The location is a bit isolated, not to close to the maine street, so it's a bit quieter, but not to far either. The breakfast was rich in diversity and taste. All the basic amenities were provided.

Perfect location, great views, near railways, so you can see the trains passing by. In 7 minutes you can walk to Ella. The other way on the railway will bring you to the waterfall en Ella Rock. When you just passed the trainbridge, go down, and ask the women for guiding you to a beautiful viewpoint. On your own its difficult to find. Breakfast is good. The caretaker Lashman is gentle and tells a lot of things to visit/to do. From were you will have breakfast, the view uphill is lovely, looks like a jungle. We parked our tuktuk just across the railway.

My Gf and I recently stayed at the Third Eye Ella and, I must say, we had an absolutely fantastic and relaxing time! The highlight of our stay was the breathtaking view from our room and the delicious breakfast served on the terrace. The room itself was comfortable, providing all the amenities we needed for a cozy stay. Plus, its prime location just a few meters away from the train station and the center of Ella made exploring the area a breeze! Our host, Pubudu, deserves a special shout-out. He welcomed us with open arms and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Each morning, he brought us a super tasty breakfast, setting the perfect start to our day. Pubudu was always available to answer our questions and offer valuable recommendations, making us feel right at home. And when we mentioned wanting to explore the surroundings, he magically arranged a scooter for us within just 10 minutes. Overall, we can't recommend Third Eye Ella enough. It's a hidden gem with remarkable views, comfortable rooms, and a warm and attentive host. Thank you, Third Eye Ella, for an unforgettable stay. We'll definitely be back!

    we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

    Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
