マウント ブルー ビュー ゲスト イン エラ

Great stay. Rooms and the view from the room was beautiful. Def recommended. The staff were freindly too.

Very nice hotel with kind and caring people. The location guided us to a wrong place the day we arrived so you should look on the signs hanging on the road. Overall a beautiful hotel with nice views and kind people.

Super sted-venligt personale-serveret morgenmad på terrassen. Tæt på Main Street men ingen trafikstøj derfra. 300 meter nedad (stejlt) til Main Street. Fantastisk udsigt og rolig beliggende. Varmt vand uden problemer. Vi rejser som par og søger basic rooms - så dette sted er lige os. 5 stjerner

Quiet hotel that felt a bit more like a homestay! The room was basic but clean – no A/C and only a wall mounted fan (which was good enough – in Ella you’re quite high up so the nights are cooler than elsewhere, so we coped well with the fan). The doors didn’t completely close so we were grateful for the mosquito net hung around the bed. The room had no safe or minifridge either, but for the price we paid, we really couldn’t complain. The hotel is about 5 min walk to the main street of Kandy where there are several restaurants and shops. The toad is very steep and not lit up at night so do make sure your phone battery is charged so you can use the torch! Think there must have been about 7 rooms, all with a huge balcony terrace overlooking a wonderful view of the Ella Gap. I got up early to sit out on the terrace and watch the scenery slowly lighten and the train go from Ella to Kandy (you can see the train go quite close to the hotel, and then reappear several minutes later going over a bridge – it gives you an iconic photo of the greenery of Ella, complete with Ella gap and one of Sri Lankan’s iconic blue trains! Check the train times first and remember that the trains in the area are often late). Breakfast was provided to us on the terrace; fresh fruit, omelette, toast and tea! More than adequate for a day’s exploring.

Stunning views, friendly staff and clean enough rooms.

The best thing about Blue View Guest house is the amazing view from your room (apart from when it's misty or raining). It's a short walk or Tuk Tuk from the main town of Ella and around 30 steep steps down to the hotel from the parking area on the roof. The room was very clean but also very basic ie. no wardrobe/hairdryer/shampoos etc but that's what you pay for and it was still very good value. Breakfast was simple but more than adequate with fresh fruit, tea/coffee, omelette and a mound of toast and jams, and the staff were as pleasant and polite as any of the luxury hotels we had stayed previously. It's a great location for exploring and we had a guide (Hashan) with our driver (Hansa) one day to do Little Adam's Peak, (a bit difficult to do the last bit) Nine Arch Bridge (check out the incredible fruit juices in the café above the viaduct), Ruwana Falls, Ella Walla Falls (just as storm came in great walk for 2km including a boulder path in the forest and on a nice day the pool below the fall is great for a swim) finished off with a cookery class with Prya at the Elephant Hotel nearby.

Das Guesthouse in Ella ist auf jeden Fall sehr schön. Der Blick ist toll. Insgesamt ist alles sehr einfach. Die beiden Herren, die das Guesthouse leiten aber sehr bemüht und freundlich. Für uns hat alles gepasst!

BEDBUGS! Awful customer service, stay away!

The staff was very friendly and the view is Great. We thought that value for money was ok but not great.

Basic old rooms. Great view and good proximity to town although a 3 minute very steep walk up a hill - you wouldn’t want to do it with bags. Didn’t want to give breakfast before 8am and no offer of a packed breakfast like other places do so not ideal if you want to head off early up Ella Rock or Little Adams Peak. No a/c which didn’t bother me but it was 30 during the day so may bother others. No top sheet was provided so I asked for one and they gave it to me but it was like it was an odd request! Rainhead showers seem to be on the must-have list for every Sri Lankan accom now - there was a shiny new one here, only problem it wasn’t properly affixed to the wall so fell off on me and also wasn’t plumbed correctly so the mixer gave you either scolding hot or freezing cold water and often just a trickle. Overall it was fine but I’d say over-priced for what it is.

Super freundliches Personal, uns wurde sogar ein Roller organisiert. Frühstück mit der Aussicht war Mega.

The view from the hotel is fantastic. The room was very basic with a double bed, mosquito net, and a lockable safe and wardrobe. The bathroom was very new and clean. The room I had was okay for the one night I was there. What was not so good was the service - there wasn’t much at all! It took my driver 10 minutes to locate someone when I wanted to check in, I was taken to the room and given the key and this is all the service I had for the whole stay. I wasn’t given any info about breakfast and the gate was locked at night. I had to climb over (double my height) to get out for a hike I was taking. I don’t think the room was worth the money and there are many other options in the same street.

The view is really great. Room is a little bit dirty, but we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful scenery.

Tb séjour à 5mn à pied du centre personnel très acceuillante superbe vue sur la montagne avec petit déjeuner servie sur la terrasse donnant sur la montagne. Je recommande !

Comfortable accommodation a short walk away from the main street, with a fantastic view to admire over breakfast.

Es fällt uns nicht leicht eine so negative Bewertung abgeben zu müssen. Die Beherbergung hat uns in allen Hinsichten nicht befriedigt. Nicht mal eine Reception ist vorhanden, Kakalaken, Ameisen und ein nicht sehr gereinigtes Zimmer hat uns erwartet. Das Internet funktioniert auch nicht im Zimmer. Der Eingang des Hotels ist gar nicht sichtbar, eine bestehende Baustelle und wird als Kehre für Tuc Tucs verwendet. Das Frühstück haben wir aus hygienischen Gründen gar nicht in Anspruch genommen. Das Personal bemüht sich herzlichst, beherrscht aber die englische Sorache nicht. Somit wird auch die Bitte um ein Toilettenpapier zu einem Problem. Ella selbst zu besuchen ist auch nicht gerade ein Freudensschrei, die Teeplantage ist aber top.

Toller Ausblick, Moskitonetz vorhanden, große Terrasse, ruhug gelegen, in 3 Minuten an der Hauptstraße, freundlicher Rezeptionist Frühstück wie immer mit Omelett und deshalb eintönig aber ok, im Bad waren noch Haare im Abfluss und die Handtücher haben sich schon fast aufgelöst

Nice views & secure. Biggest issue is that currently a lot of construction going on which does detract from the experience. Staff friendly and try but disorganised e.g. room was still being cleaned at check in, internet kept going down, no welcome drink (despite being advertised) on arrival and no one around when checking out. Breakfast was OK but I had better in the town on my last day when leaving at the same price. I think there are better value guest inns available in Ella.

Basic but clean and comfortable rooms. Amazing view from the balcony where breakfast is served. Little walk from town but definitely worth it.

Der Aufenthalt im touristischen Ella war leider eine Enttäuschung. Lediglich der Ausblick und die Lage sind gut, der Rest nicht. Der Sevice hatte es schwer, da Sprachkenntnisse fehlen, die Zimmer (auch wenn das Hotel noch eine Baustelle ist) sind sehr verwohnt. Die Badezimmereinrichtung rostet oder ist nicht mehr vorhanden. Achtung: Warmes Wasser erst ab Nachmittag. Vormittags nur kaltes Wasser. Das Frühstück wird auf dem Balkon/im Eingang serviert, dabei kann man zumindest den schönen Ausblick genießen, wenn das Essen schon nicht gut ist. Die Auswahl beschränkt sich auf Toast mit Marmelade, wenige Früchte und etwas was nach Ei aussah. Das WiFi steht zwischen 23 und 6 Uhr zur Verfügung, in den anderen Zeiten nicht nutzbar.
