I stayed in a small single room. It had one tiny window, that faced a balcony with laundry. The window did not open, so the room was a bit stuffy. The bathroom shower did not have hot water. Breakfast was good, and I do not think they were serving other meals during my stay. Good location. I did not speak... More

Spotless, the room was small but perfectly adequate, with mosquito net and a lovely balcony overlooking Ella Gap. Unfortunately no fan or air conditioning and no window mosquito grills, so we had to sleep with windows shut, which was unpleasantly hot and airless. The staff, including the owner very very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. Very convenient... More

This place was great. We booked a twin room and they only had a double but once someone else cancelled they moved us straight away. The rooms were great - clean, large and plenty of room to do washing and hang it on the balcony. The food was some of the best we ate in Sri Lanka. The family were... More

Warm and friendly, helpful service, tolerable clean. Near to city center. Good location for hiking tours. Staff can give you useful tips for journey or hiking tours. Prices are ok. We can recommend this hotel!

We enjoyed our 1 night stay at a Sun Top in March 2013. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate, clean and with good toilet and shower, air conditioning and mosquito net. There is a very narrow balcony. Some doors and windows had poor locking mechanisms so security might prey on the mind were this not 'safe' Sri Lanka. There... More

We stayed at the Sun Top Inn for one night. The room was small and one window faced the eating area, therefore it was dark and clairaudient. Everything is a bit run down. Furthermore was the whole bathroom flooded, because the shower wasn't working properly. The location is okay, breakfast too. Nobody could give us any information about dinner (we... More

We stayed here 1 night while staying in Ella. Ella is a nice little town and this guesthouse is on a perfect location just on a side road of the main road. From the guesthouse we had a nice walk to little Adams peak. The service was very good and breakfast nice. The room was small, but perfect with a... More

It took five minutes and we felt like being a part of the family! The owners are genuinely friendly and open people who like to chat a little while with their guests. Just as nice are the two young employees who always have a smile on their faces. The homemade food is excellent and the entire guesthouse is squeeky clean.... More

First the good things. The owner is very helpful and his family is adorable. The view is great. The breakfast was ok. The problem was the price. We were quoted nearly $40 for a non-AC room, which wasn't really a good room. This was our most expensive room in Sri Lanka. Not the worst room, but when it comes to... More

Stayed here for three nights. Our room was small and dark, the shower/wc very small. The whole place could do with a facelift. It was very tired looking. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were very good. (Owners were away when we stayed there, so didn't have an evening meal). The location... More
