Felt that the owner was extremely helpful and easy to contact. The owner went out of his way to facilitate my early departure and made breakfast for me to take on the train. He also agreed to be paid in Euros which was easier for me.I suppose what I didn't like so much was the position of my bedroom. I was near the entrance to the building and it could be a bit noisy with people coming back at night. I liked the proximity to the town. The views aren't so great as there is a lot of building work going on. I didn't like the town of Ella but if you choose to stay there this is a good option.

No side lamp near the bed, so the lighting was a bit centralised and full on.

A nice, well-kept accommodation, very central and yet mostly away from the noise of Ella. The path to the hotel is very steep, so a tuk tuk helps if you have heavy luggage. The family is very friendly and the delicious breakfast is served on the terrace in front of the room. The room is large, clean, has everything you need including plenty of sockets and a very comfortable bed. On the subject of hot water: just be patient, it gets hot :-) We felt very comfortable and would book again.

Everything! Poorna, the host, is an absolute gentleman. He was brilliant right from our arrival until our departure. He greeted us as we arrived, helped us with our bags, sorted us out in our room and offered us a drink while we got settled in. Communication was very easy, as Poorna had messaged me on WhatsApp prior to our arrival to ensure everything was OK. Anything we needed, we messaged on WhatsApp. The room was really nice, spacious, clean and cool with an amazing view of Ella Rock, Little Adam's Peak and the landscape beyond. The shower was very good, with good pressure and hot water. Our room included a balcony, to the front of the property, where we had breakfast each morning. It was nice to sit and enjoy the view in a relaxing environment. It was not noisy at all, despite being so close to the main street. Breakfast was amazing, prepared by Poorna and his wife. All we had to do was provide him with a time for when we would want it and it was ready and waiting for us. A varied selection each day, we felt like it was a 5 star service being offered. On our last day, we were leaving really early, 5am, and Poorna even packed us a breakfast to take! He was very accommodating to our requests, and even let us use his kitchen to prepare some food. He even offered recommendations on things to see in Ella, places to go to eat and even a spa to unwind. We would wholeheartedly recommend anyone stay here as the hotel and service is beyond anything we expected.

Nothing! The only thing we would make people aware of is that it is up a hill from the main road, but less than a few minutes walk/climb.

It was very well located, close to the main road yet in a quiet area (you have to walk the last few meters steeply uphill.) The owner of the apartments was very friendly and helped us with all our needs. The breakfast at the Balkony was always really great. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend Poomaz Peace Palace highly enough. The location is fantastic only a few minutes walk to the main street, yet it's tucked away enough so you are not disturbed by any noise from the town. The room we had was so large and spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Although hot water took a little while to come through as it's all solar, it was piping hot! The breakfast served out on your own private little table on the shared balcony was one of the highlights of our whole Sri Lanka trip - the food was so tasty, and coupled with the views of Ella Rock made for a fantastic start to each morning. Poorna was easily reachable if you had any questions or needed advice and his and his team's service was absolutely superb - thank you for a very memorable stay.

Water pressure in the shower could've been a bit better

Everything!! The kind thoughtful attentive staff, the spotless clean room, location, breakfast with a view and fair price. Faultless -Highly recommend

Nothing, I can honestly say the staff were so lovely and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us during our stay. The room was huge and the breakfast on the balcony looking over Ella and Ella rock was a delight. The hill to the property is steep, however well worth the walk or Tuk Tuk up due to its very central location

Poomaz Peace Palace is the cutest home stay situated up a hill just minutes on foot from the town centre with stunning views of Ella’s Rock from the balcony. Poorna is the nicest host imaginable with the sweetest smile and he is always ready to do anything he can to help. The room is simple but very comfortable, clean and quiet. The breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented. We loved the location and enjoyed sitting out on the balcony admiring the view and watching rich bird life in the trees surrounding us. Very happy we chose to stay here as it was so convenient to everything and a short walk to the train station.

We travelled as a family of three and our tall teenage son found the single bed in the alcove a wee bit short for him so his feet were dangling off the end. A younger child would be fine.

Staff was really nice and they prepared lovely breakfast in the morning. Location is great if you want to stay close to the main street (it’s a minute away)…

…since the house is a minute away from the main street you can hear very loud music till 2-3am - I’m no light sleeper but this was horrible, so I do recommend earplugs. It wasn’t super clean, bedsheets were little dirty with some stains on it, walls need to be painted and bathroom cleaner.

The location and the view from the room were perfect! Very near the Main Street. Nice big room and bathroom- big windows with a view to the mountain. As food- i’d recommend a restaurant called 360- it’s about 30-40 m from the hotel and I discovered amazing coffee in a small Gelato shop just opposite 360. So you have everything there.

The road from the Main Street to the hotel is very steep, but it’s a short walk, so not a big problem.

First impressions were amazing. Everything was great, has everything for short or longer stay. Close to the main road where everything happens. 3min walk from restaurant, bars etc..Apartment is so clean, comfortable, has a nice view to Ella rock, balcony, AC, towels, comfy beds , electric kettle, fridge. Host is available in any time. Highly recommend.

nothing, everything was great
