This place is affordable and highly recommendable. Firstly, the view from Green Hill is arguably the best in Ella; from the terrace you have a fantastic view on Ella's Rock and Litte Adam's peak. Secondly, service that Green Hill owner Podi offers, is very good. The rooms are spotless, showers are fantastic and a althought a little bit expensive, the... More

came across this place by accident and sssooo glad we did. Ella is so beautiful and to stay in a nice place really made our stay. The view is to die for, the owner is fantastic and the walk to town is 6 minutes. It is just incredible. It is the best place I've stayed in our trip so far,... More

We came for three nights and stayed for four. Podi was a wonderful host. He and his wife answered all of our strange questions (who knew that farmers use firecrackers to scare away monkeys!), provided wonderful suggestions of outings, and were, hands down, the best cooks whose food we had the pleasure of eating. The garlic curry, pittu, and woodapple... More

What can I say - just go and stay! Quite difficult to find! Take a tuk tuk from the station and then you have to walk along a thin track with a sheer drop on one side 100metres to the guesthouse but the view! Is actually less than 10 min walk by footpath into Ella itself but do this during... More

We stayed for 1 night at the Green Hill and very much enjoyed so. The view is excellent and from the guesthouse it's a short and interesting stroll to get to the city centre. The host is very friendly and helpful. Ella is absolutely amazing, what a beautiful place to visit! If you go there, the Green Hill is a... More

I had the great pleasure in staying in this charming guest house for 3 nights . After a long journey from Kandy this was exactly what the doctor ordered . The views were breathtaking matched only by a marvelous cuisine . The owners , a young couple were always available to give advice and to orientate you . In fact... More

This rustic little guesthouse is located most fortuitously to take advantage of the views between little Adam’s Peak and Ella Rock through to Ella Gap. The guesthouse has only two double rooms at the time of writing, although Prassana (‘Podi’) has plans to expand. Ella in recent times has become incredibly popular with tourists, and backpackers arriving at Ella train... More

Arriving at Green Hill was a little disconcerting because you have to walk down a narrow path a couple of minutes from the point where the tuktuk can drop you off. Fortunately the hotel owner carried my luggage--both ways. But once at the guest house I was so impressed. The view is spectacular--one morning I just stayed on the terrace... More
