Boasting a terrace and a shared lounge, New Blue Home is located in Ella. Built in 2016, the property is within an 11-minute walk of Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. Free WiFi is available.

Had a great stay at New Blue Home. Nice room and lovely surroundings. Really convenient location for the Little Adam's Peak and Nine Arches Bridge trails as well as being a short walk from the centre. Our host Shirley was especially amazing. Extremely helpful and very smiley. While we were in Ella he gave us recommendations and arranged a tuk-tuk. He also arranged a trip for us to Yala NP then a drop off in Mirissa which was really appreciated. On the last night when we arrived home in a mad rainstorm he appeared with an umbrella and a huge strip light to get us to our room. Plus at our 4am start the next morning he was there to make sure we got our taxi and gave us surprise packed lunches. I'm not sure he ever sleeps! Such a lovely guy!

The room and bathroom are pretty big and clean. The location is really good as the it is very nearby the train station and also city center. However, it is still in quiet area so that you won't be bothered by loud music sound from bars in the center. Bathroom has hot water, and the room has own outdoor area where you can have breakfast or some snack.

    It's an a great location, far enough from the busier centre that it's quiet but close enough to walk to everything. We have a lovely breakfast everyday here for only 1100 rupees each, much cheaper than most places in town. We were also able to hire a scooter. Finally we had a private cooking class just for the two of us in her kitchen. Everything was explained so clearly and she gave alternatives to ingredients we might not have at home. We were made to feel like part of the family here and couldn't reccommend this place enough!

    Inmeshed in nature, the view from the room's terraces and common areas is beautiful. The B&B is just a short stroll to the city center and Ella train station, but at the same time very peaceful and quiet. I appreciated recieving a tea upon my arrival and also having free bottled water, a kettle and tea bags in the room. My room had a fan and a mosquito net and I did not need an AC, as Ella and Sri Lanka's hillside is cooler and fresher than other parts of the country. I enjoyed having a little private terrace, with jungle views.

    First things first, the hotel is in a great location. A 2 minute walk away from the main street, a 10 minute (perhaps less) to the train station and a short distance from the key hikes. The hotel room is simply decorated and perhaps a little rough around the edges. But it's clean, quiet and charming. I had a room with two single beds, but it was easy enough to push them together. The host is really helpful and friendly, and breakfast was great!

    Lovely little quaint place, with amazing views. You feel like you are in the trees! Only two rooms so very private and quiet. The family are so lovely and welcoming - the perfect place to stay and close enough but far enough away from the busy Main Street in Ella. Great location for Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge.
