Paraiso Guest House

Ella

Thank you Dhana and his family for a wonderful start to out first visit to Sri Lanka. A simple but stunning accomodation with eveything you need. Parasio is situated in a peaceful area out of town but is only a short walk from town along the railway lines. The daily breakfast was incredible and the views, sensational. Dhana help us see and do all we had planned Ella (including train ride, hikes and tasty meals) and also assisted us with transport. We would definitely stay here again.

Serenity in Ella

This was probably our favourite place we stayed at on our three week tour of Sri Lanka!  Great views, great room size.  Very functional with regards a fridge, plenty of wall sockets for charging phones etc .  Complimentary water. Great shower.  
The breakfast was simply delicious and set up in the dining room - some people ate on the pretty outdoor area.  The selection of food and the taste was really special, especially the wee sweet coconut pancake rolls!
Having said all that - even better was the family who own/run the place - they are all so warm and friendly - helpful with local knowledge and directions.  Great english speakers (thankfully cause thats all we were able to speak!).  They can give you a shortcut to the main 'town' area that makes it an easy walk.   I cant speak highly enough about this place.  

JUST BOOK IT -  THIS IS A GREAT PLACE. 

Paraiso Guesthouse is run by Dhana, a very friendly & helpful chap, & his wife. The place is located about a 10 min tuk tuk ride from Ella center, which is a developing backpacker tourist place. If you prefer, you can also walk along the train tracks nearby to Ella center - fairly safe, just be aware of the schedule & oncoming trains (not so frequent). Village setting with many friendly locals who will greet you as you pass them while walking. 
The room was clean with a absolutely stunning view.  Air con, hot water for showers, TV (although we did not watch), wifi, bottles water, electric kettle - almost everything you would need.
Breakfast was super yummy, prepared by his mum who lives a steps from the guesthouse - some of the best pol roti we had on the trip. Mum even helped us pack a small lunch for our train ride to Kandy. Super nice. 
Dhana picked is from airport to our Colombo hotel for a late check-in & drove us up the following morning (5-6 hour drive, excluding lunch where we spent an hour at Galle Fort) in his very comfortable car - very reasonable price. He even helped us arrange for car drop off from our Colombo hotel to the airport during the last leg of our trip.
He arranged for a tour to various tourist places around Ella via tuk tuk - paid separately. 
In summary, Paraiso Guesthouse is definitely worth the stay for the view, the room, the yummy breakfast but more importantly, it is run by a very sincere, helpful friendly guy. Thanks for a great stay. 


Friendly & memorable stay

A true paradise!
The experience in this delightful guest house was fantastic. Arriving after a long journey on the fantastic train that crosses the Hills we were welcomed by Dhana's dad (unforgettable manager) with a magnificent tea on the terrace, with delicacies prepared with grace and care with a breathtaking view and Ella Rock.Dhana is an exceptional manager. from the moment of booking, he was very kind in handling every detail...Dhana is also an expert guide capable of organising tours of all kinds. what about the Paraiso? room with a breathtaking view, terrace to fill your eyes with greenery and be caressed by the sweet air of Ella.The breakfast was sensational, carefully prepared by Dhana's delicious wife.
I hope to return soon and enjoy more days at Ella who is already in my heart!Please,Don't miss out on an emotional experience in this guest house with unforgettable hosts that you will carry in your heart, hosts born to welcome you with courtesy, kindness and professionalism.Thanks to all of you  💚

REAL PARADISE

Lovely cuppa with biscuits on arrival
A very clean, spacious room  - with decent storage - and a big, clean bathroom. Stunning views from the balcony. Very quiet on an evening. 
A 10min walk into town along the railway lines. 
The owner was very helpful and willing to help us organize transport and things to do without being pushy or intrusive. 
Filling breakfast (included) with beautiful views.
Loved the pet dog! 
Would recommend at this price point, we loved it here!

We loved it here!

It was found by Agoda . Absolutely amazing place to see the mountain view.  It's very close to the real ravana waterfall. Walking distance from the city .Room is clean and very quiet. We had a free srilankan breakfast with some fruits and tea with coffee .food was delicious.  Very friendly staff and helpful highly recommended.

Great Mountain View 

The Paraiso Guest House was a wonderful stay, with a very accommodating, kind, and small staff. Very homely and personal atmosphere. 

The owners helped us order food the first night, after a long tiring journey to Ella. They made wonderful homemade breakfast every morning, with the most wonderful view over Little Adams Peak, which we also could see in full view from our room. 
We were worried that the place was to far from the main road, but the trip was very quick, easy and cheap with a tuk tuk.

We would very much recommend a stay at the Paraiso Guest House, if you visit beautiful Ella<3 

Very nice, accommodating and beautiful stay at the Paraiso Guest House

We had a great 2 nights' stay at Dhana's place. He was nice and humble. The family room we had was nice, spacious, and perfect for a family with a child. Breakfast was great that his mother cooked, one of the best in SL. The only problem we had is the 50+ flying ants in the room that I had to kill on our first day there. Keeping the windows open during check-in was not the best idea from the owner, I think. 

A great stay in Ella

Our family stayed here for 2 nights and it was an amazing experience. The owner Dhananjaya was very helpful and facilitated our entire visit in Ella making sure everything is perfect. Breakfast was delicious. The view from the room was great, we could see the sunrise & Ella Rock. Would highly recommend for any locals & foreign guests for their affordable rates and quality service.

Amazing 2 nights

We loved our time at this guesthouse. I can't really add more to the positive reviews already posted. 
We had a room without aircon, and we didn't even need the fan as it was nice and cool in the evenings.
The view faces east, so perfect for a sunrise. We sat on the terrace each afternoon to see the clouds dramatically changing through the hills.
Breakfast was wonderful, sri lankan style breakfast that changed each day.
Dhana was an excellent host, we used his taxi service to Tissa, and he arranged a few other things for us.
This place is a little gem!
