The owners Saman and Sandive were very welcoming. They made sure that everything in the room was ready before our arrival. Both are extremely friendly and helpful. The room was just amazing, spotless clean, you can definitely sense the attention to every detail. The location is great, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by trees all around. The view is spectacular, you can see the waterfall and hear the sound of running water from distance when lying in your bed, just a wonderful scene to wake up to. Saman prepared a delicious breakfast and delivered it to the room by herself just to make sure that we do not need anything else. This was by far one of the best places we have been to in Ella. We would definitely book that place again on every trip back to Ella. We highly recommend this place.

Very clean place, very clean bed (cleanest bed we had so far in Sri Lanka), beautiful view and balcony in front of every room. Bathroom with very hot water and window. Super nice host. Breakfast very tasty and variable. Located a bit on the hill, walk about 5-10 minutes to the centre, restaurants nearby, but also nature. Perfect location. Mr. Upali is very nice and perfectly organised. Thank you very much

Everything was great at this place. The owner is just a wonderful person. She was very welcoming and attentive. The location is a bit isolated, not to close to the maine street, so it's a bit quieter, but not to far either. The breakfast was rich in diversity and taste. All the basic amenities were provided.

I travelled to Ella with my wife for holiday. We found Grand Rock View to be a small, tranquil place with a great character. Our room with balcony offered us the views of the whole valley where the city of Ella is located, including the Ella Rock and the waterfalls. It was a pleasure to just sit there and watch the world go by in the evenings. The place was quiet, as it is located away from any main roads. However, the centre of Ella can be reached from there by a 5-minute walk on the nearby railway tracks (which is how people normally get around there). The host was great, helped us to orient ourselves for our hikes to the nearby hills and was bent to fulfil any of our wishes. He also recommended to us several interesting dining options in Ella. The breakfast at the resort was very good and enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay at Rock Grand View very much.

My Gf and I recently stayed at the Third Eye Ella and, I must say, we had an absolutely fantastic and relaxing time! The highlight of our stay was the breathtaking view from our room and the delicious breakfast served on the terrace. The room itself was comfortable, providing all the amenities we needed for a cozy stay. Plus, its prime location just a few meters away from the train station and the center of Ella made exploring the area a breeze! Our host, Pubudu, deserves a special shout-out. He welcomed us with open arms and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Each morning, he brought us a super tasty breakfast, setting the perfect start to our day. Pubudu was always available to answer our questions and offer valuable recommendations, making us feel right at home. And when we mentioned wanting to explore the surroundings, he magically arranged a scooter for us within just 10 minutes. Overall, we can't recommend Third Eye Ella enough. It's a hidden gem with remarkable views, comfortable rooms, and a warm and attentive host. Thank you, Third Eye Ella, for an unforgettable stay. We'll definitely be back!

    we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

    Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
