Beautiful place with a fabulous view of Ella rock.Our hosts were a very warm family.The authenthic Sri Lankan breakfast made by the lady of the house added to the charm of our stay at Paraisso Ella.The clean,spacious room,wi fi connectivity and bathroom with hot water ensure a comfortable stay.This place is conveniently located, just a 10 minute walk to Ella town and Ella train station and about a 30 minute leisurely walk to the famous Nine Arches Bridge.Very good value for money.Would definately reccomend this place to fellow travellers.

Wohlfühlatmosphäre mit Weitblick

Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer mit einem fantastischen Ausblick – einfach traumhaft! Auch das Badezimmer war sehr geräumig und modern. Alles war äußerst sauber und ordentlich, was uns direkt ein gutes Gefühl gegeben hat. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Insgesamt ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt!

Pleasant stay

My partner and I stayed at Paraiso for two nights. On arrival, our host greeted us with hot tea and bananas. The rooms did not have air conditioning, but a fan which cooled the room satisfactorily. Bathroom was also clean. There is a lookout point upstairs which had beautiful views of the hills. Our host even accommodated us for a late breakfast after we came back from our hike. Breakfast was lovely with Sri lankan dishes and fresh fruit. Getting to the town was easy via the train tracks below and was only 10-15 min walk. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and will definitely return. Whilst the rooms were adequate, it was the niceness and accommodating nature of the host that was most appreciated. They were always helpful with a smile

Three days in Ella

My wife and I stayed here for three nights and we’re very happy with the hotel and location. We had a beautiful view across the valley of little Adams Peak, Ella rock, and a waterfall as well. From the hotel you could either take a tuk-tuk to town or walk down the rail road and be in town within 15 minutes. The owner was very kind and helped us with hiking routes and transportation.

Acceptable stay in Ella

This was a strange place. For a start, the building looked half-finished. We didn’t really have a host - there seemed to be multiple people looking after the property, although all were perfectly friendly and accommodative (for example in making us a packed breakfast when we were up early to go hiking). The room, like many guest houses in Sri Lanka, was functional rather than comfortable. This one was spacious with a balcony, with an average bed/mattress and a good en suite bathroom. The view, as many others have commented, is fantastic but given that Ella is in a mountain valley, you don’t need to work too hard to find a view that’s just as good. In terms of cost it was probably a touch above average and given that the stay felt average or slightly below average, I’d say we could have done better.

Ok but noisy

The room was ok, the homestay was under construction. The hosts were nice and helpful. The problem was that the place is right beside a temple and the pray at 5:30am and 5:30pm through speakers quite loudly. It is located right beside the train rails and it is noisy when it goes through.

Great place!

Excellent stay at Paraiso Guest House! The inn keeper is super friendly and professional! We were on our honeymoon for two nights there and everything went superbly. He even decorated the bed with flower petals and balloons for us ❤️ We were offered water, cookies and bananas as we arrived later in evening time. Breakfast was very good too. And everything we asked for, we got with a smile on top. The view is mesmerizing, looking down to the valley, Ella rock and Kithalella waterfall. I warmly recommend this place!

Great Hospitality

We stayed one night at Paraiso and had a great time. The owner and his family was very attentive and made sure our plans in Ella worked out. Furthermore he helped us with good transportation to our next destination for a good price. The guest house is a 10 minute walk from town via the railway shortcut. This was nice as it is more peaceful and quiet. The view is great, the room was nice and clean. They are expanding the balcony currently and it is not complete at this time (sep 2019) but that did not at all disturb the great view. Also good breakfast!
