Sita's Heaven

Ella

The patriarch at this hotel is a builder. He built his parents house when he was 16 and he hasn’t stopped since. He has an obsession with perfection and this made staying in his hotel a delIght! The doors, windows, locks and everything works perfectly.

His daughter who runs the hotel is a fabulous cook and a tremendous hostess! 

The hotel is great but our disappointment is with Ella on two counts: 1. The mistreatment of dogs it’s gut wrenching. School children are taught to hit them with sticks and stones. Most are diseased with fleas and horrible skin diseases, malnutrition and starvation. It broke our hearts!

They bark all night, the packs war with each other and then we had to listen to submissive dogs crying in pain from the fight. Ugly!

2. There is no safe place for pedestrians to walk. We are currently in Nuawa Eliya and walking safely on their sidewalks is sheer joy! 

If you want us to recommend Ella to pur friends and family, you have to step up your game and make it a great place to be!

Sita’s Heaven wonderful place/Ella not so much

We were a family of 4 (two adults and two children) staying here for 2 nights in January 2020. It is a lovely family run hotel who made it very homely and it's great for a two night short stop. The breakfast is fantastic - huge portions and very tasty - and overlooks the Ella Gap which was an incredible sight. The view was unforgettable and the location of the hotel is ideal. Getting to the hotel by car is a bit tricky as it is located down a narrow rough road so you need to have a skilled driver like we did! There is a convenient shortcut from the hotel to walk to Ella town centre which is just a 10 minute walk away via some steps (make sure to take a torch though).  

The rooms and bathroom were very basic and although they had no A/C, they did have fans. There were quite a few insects but that's expected given it's situated in the hills and I doubt there is any hotel in Ella which won't have any bugs wondering around outside the room! 

Overall, we had a fantastic stay here and would recommend it as the hotel offers great value for money!

Authentic Sri Lankan experience

The hostel owner is very kind and has taken care of everything and makes a lot of effort to make us feel comfortable. This was by far the best breakfast we had on our whole trip there:) it's all very family friendly and lovingly done:) and the view from the rooftop at breakfast is of course worth gold:) Can I just recommend it!

Great breakfast and super lovely hostel owner:)

Nice clean hotel, rooms and bathroom ok but no A/Con, no safe and no tea making facilities. OK for a short stop, one or two nights but that would all. Hotel is located down a tight narrow rough road so driving to it is bumpy. Ella is just a ten minute walk away via some step and road leading out the back, take a torch for nighttime you will need it. Make sure you have an adapter as all sockets are the round pin type. Views from the hotel main block at the front to the first floor are amazing. Breakfast was good, fruit tea and eggs. No evening meals served here but there are loads of restaurants in Ella just down the road. Bad point is the rooms have no sound proofing and while we were there on the first night the local mosque was chanting ALL night long via the loud speakers from 9am until 5am, this in turn set off the local dogs barking and howling at each other all night. Second night was totally opposite and dead quite so just be warned it can be very noisy. 

Two nights B&B

The views were absolutely amazing looking down the valley, and that was from the balcony of the room (you need to be in a B room), the restaurant on the top floor also had good views. The basic map of the walks was a nice extra. The rooms were simple, clean and had all the necessaries. The breakfast was good and there were a number of choices. There was a miscommunication about the in-house dinner

Amazing views, nice facilities

Once we arrived at Sitas Heaven (it is not on the main road, it takes about 15/20 minutes to walk from the station) we were greeted by the owner, a very kind lady who immediately accompanied us to the room where we stayed for two nights (very comfortable room) and also provided us with a map that helped us reach the main attractions with recommended routes.

It's a little paradise.

The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was very proper, clean, with hot water and the shower with pressure that is to be thanked for. We were provided with dirty clothes that we carried at a cheaper price than the laundry facilities in the area. The very kind and attentive staff informed us of the schedules and buses to Uda Walawe, our next destination. And they advised us on how to get there the most direct way. They also informed us about the routes to take around the area.

A very good price-quality ratio.

We were very satisfied with the stay in Ella. The rooms were clean, the owner and his wife helpful. They also have a dog, which is very cute and friendly, and he kept us company from the eavning till morning, as we set on the rooftop terrace, watched the stars and enjoyed the smell of sandalwood from houses around us. 
The view of the valley and little Adam's peak was also calming, especially mornings, when you heard the prayer from the nearest buddhist temple. It gave you at the same time relaxation and the power for all day. I really felt as I was in heaven. 
The small, but attractive city is right under the accommodation, a few minutes walk on a path with steps. Even if you were heading back from the city, you couldn't get lost, cuz everywhere you can see the signs, which are leading back to Sita's heaven. 

Attractive surrounding

This is a nice place to stay.  Sweeping views over the gap from the balcony.  We were a family of four and were provided a very large and comfortable room.  

The owners were very friendly and helpful.  A short walk into town.

Breakfast was on the rooftop.  Ask the owner about the hand-made wood furniture and don’t missing sinking into one of the steamer chairs with your feet up.

Enjoyed Our Visit

Not easy to reach by car but only a 5 minute walk from the town centre. Amazing view for the rooftop breakfast. Good location and friendly helpful owner Mr JP. Well worth a stay and value for money given the breath taking scenery. Rooms clean with mosquito nets provided.
