Modern design, clean, and the location was perfect. The view is beautiful and breakfast was great. Also, the host was always responsive.

Dom was a very accommodating and attentive with a personal touch. The location was excellent for both the trail to Little Adam’s Peak and also Nine Arch Bridge. We enjoyed the Ella Rock view from the terrace and watching people start their hike. It is away from the centre of Ella so more peaceful in that respect. Still only a 15 minute walk to the centre. We enjoyed the hammock and having breakfast served on the terrace. The room was very well appointed.

We liked everything

Perfect location with excellent views Quiet setting, and easily accessible on foot to Ella town for restaurants and to Little Adam's Peak Dom the host /owner was exceptional, very friendly & helpful . He went out of his way to support us when our travel plans changed, providing food & arranging a taxi. Breakfast was the best in our 14 day tour of Sri Lanka We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation & would love to return ourselves one day.

We were warmly welcomed: the place itself is amazing, every design detail contributes to the overall look. The bathroom is gorgeous with a spacious shower area. The terrace has an outstanding view over the valley and there is a hammock where you can admire it! Breakfast is served to the terrace, at the time you want it. Loved this stay!

Northing, this place is perfect and we highly recommend you to book a night or some more.

We love everything, the room, the location, the staff, the view, the great breakfast on the balcony. It's a perfect stay, quite close to the centre and far away from it to not have the night life sounds. 7 arch bridge on less than a 20 minute walk away.

Everything was simply lovely.

We had a wonderful experience at The One Ella. The rooms were kept in great condition, exceptionally clean and comfortable with a wonderful mountain view. The crew were really considerate and helpful. The breakfast was also delicious. We had a wonderful experience here and would definitely recommend it.

Nothing! It was perfect.

We stayed at One Ella for 5 days and had an incredible time. The location is spectacular overlooking Ella Rock, and on the walking path to Little Adams Peak. It’s busy during the day but very quiet and serene when nighttime comes. There are lots of restaurants close by, or you can walk or Tuktuk into town. The 2 Cabins are very beautiful and well appointed with everything you could need, and are super comfortable with great beds, a lovely veranda with a small couch, table and chairs. Dom who is the owner is the real reason our stay was so amazing. He is very attentive and helpful to your every need, meets you a couple of times a day to discuss the breakfast menu and what you want to do, and will help you to arrange whatever you need. And those breakfasts! During our 5 days, every morning there was a different menu with wonderful food choices and great variety. There were four of us in the two rooms and we really didn’t want to leave. Dom will make sure that you have a great experience and won’t ever forget Ella and his lovely Guesthouse. I recommend his guesthouse. You won’t be disappointed!

Sanctuary at the foot of Little Adam’s Peak. Wooden / stone building with open terrace and beautiful view. Helpful team to supply anything needed and delicious breakfast served outside each morning. A gem in busy Ella.

Need to wait for the hot water to be heated up in the tank.

The environment and layout of the room. Modern and clean. Amenities such as shower cap, nail cutter and fruit knife are a very pleasant surprise. Host is extremely friendly and the breakfast was awesome and having it nicely laid out, outside our room was a very wonderful way to begin the day.

There is no lobby, so they don't have a place to hold bags after check out.

The view is beautiful. The location is close to restaurants, the town, and tuk tuk drivers. The staff was kind and helpful. The food was delicious. The rooms are comfortable.

Amazing views! Very clean and lovely hosts/staff! Delicious and very generous breakfast! Away from the busy strip - so a bit quieter/more tranquil. Helpful in organising transportation and local tips!

Great location, well appointed bungalow, lovely welcome and even a little travel pack on farewell.

Amazing clean, cute accommodation with the warmest host and doggo. It had everything we needed, even a hammock to lounge in. Our favourite moment was having breakfast out front, with a view of the mountains/tea plantations. It is a walk/tuktuk ride away from the main city centre where the shops are, but it is also conveniently located on the way to Little Adam's Peak and close to Nine Arch Bridge. Would definitely stay here again if we were to return!

Look no further than The One for the perfect accommodation in Ella. The bungalows are extremely comfortable and are equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The location is fantastic with the most incredible views, a short distance to Little Adam’s Peak and The Nine Arch Bridge, and very close proximity to Ella main town. There are lots of Tuk Tuk just outside that will bring you in and out of town for very cheap. A very tasty breakfast is delivered to the terrace each morning which was such a treat. The hospitality from Dom was second to none, we are so glad that we chose The One for our stay in Ella.

Absolutely nothing! Dom and his team are doing an amazing job :)

The view from the bungalow on the surrounding hills of Ella is just stunning! Breakfast was served on the patio each morning, which was just the best start into the day. The breakfast was super delicious and special dietary requests were kindly considered. We had incredibly nice exotic fruit platters, delicious smoothies, pancakes, omelette, tea etc. The host Dom and his team were super attentive and lovely! They helped us arrange a driver, laundry service and provided us with tips around Ella. The bungalow is located in a pretty quiet area a little bit outside of Ella city centre, very close to the little Adam’s Peak and the infamous Nine Arches Bridge. You can reach the city centre by walking within 20-30 min or just by Tuktuk within 5-10 min. The room was spotless and offered everything we needed. There’s even a fridge, a coffee/tea station, tableware, shampoo, showergel, dental sets etc. We definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s planing to stay in Ella 👌

The room is very clean and neatly decorated with beautiful wooden furniture. The view is amazing and the manager really goes out of his way to make you happy. What more can you wish for?

Shower could have been hotter for longer. Otherwise everything was great!

Comfortable and great location with a stunning view of the local mountains. Great hospitality and care to detail by Dom, the founder and operator of the guesthouse. First class breakfast delivered to your patio.😊

Great location with an own bungalow and terrace with a great view, well equipped and clean. Best location and super close to Little Adam's Peak and Nine Arches Bridge. Our host Dammika was super nice, kind and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and very generous and served at the terrace. As we had to leave very early the host got up extra at 3 am to help us with the luggage and gave us snacks for the trip. Best accomodation in Sri Lanka so far!
