Wonderful place! Walking distance to the restaurants and main street ... poomaz is sooo nice you ask for anything and u will have it in front of ur door in one minute! The breakfast is delicious, room spacious and so clean! You will feel at home. We even wanted to have some laundry but it was too late in the evening and the second day we were leaving he suggested to do our clothes in his private washing machine! I highly recommend the place

Great view, close to city but quiet
We had reserved at Poomaz but lost it at the last minute. Poorna helped us find another place for the night. On the second night we stayed at Poomaz. The room was clean and had a beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect away from the city. The only downside was some barking dogs in the middle of the night but the owners made them stop. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

Thank you for a wonderful stay, Poorna. A great location in Ella, 1-2 minutes walk (down a steep hill) to the main street and perfectly located for hiking to Ella Rock/Nine Arch Bridge/Little Adam’s Peak. Clean, tidy rooms, large fridge, no air con but this wasn’t needed in Ella. Poorna arranged local trips for us via tuk tuk, very cheap laundry facilities, gave us advice about the area and the best routes to take for our hikes. He made contact via WhatsApp before our arrival and had our room ready for us early (no extra charge). He was responsive to messages quickly with helpful responses to our questions about our stay and the area. Breakfast was varied and delicious, made by him and his wife, served on our balcony. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Ella - from experience it was much better to stay just a few minutes off the Main Street, much quieter and beautiful views toward Ella Rock from the room.

Amazing!
Amazing stay during our honeymoon trip. The host was super attentive to our requests and even surprised us with a cake to celebrate the occasion! Wonderful stay overall, great location - absolutely recommend! We stayed at 5 star resorts through our trip and this little gem in Ella was still one of our favorites!

Right in the heart of Ella
Our stay at Poomaz Peace Palace was amazing! Poomer is such a great host. He helped us with what sights to see around Ella and how to get to them. He even drove us to our next destination! The rooms were nice and clean. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Ella. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Don’t miss this place - absolutely incredible
This place was all I could ask for and more. Clean rooms, modern shower and bathroom with hot water, prefect central location, amazing balcony overlooking the mountains (unbelievable sunsets), and most importantly - amazing hosts that will help you with everything you need (they helped me get my laundry done asap, among other things). The homemade breakfast is delicious and unique, and you can choose when to have it right outside your room. I heard a lot about this place and really glad I got to try it. If they have availability—don’t miss out on this gem. Could not recommend this place more.

Perfectly Pleasant
Very pleasant stay with great communication from the host. Comfortable room with quiet fan. Room had a shared balcony with nice views over the town. Was provided with a pot of tea daily to enjoy on the balcony. Property is up a steep hill which was a bit of a challenge with a heavy case but easy to manage when on foot. Pub to bed in 5 minutes. Happy to recommend.

Fantastic guest house with devoted host
Beautiful guest house in great shape. The owner is a young man devoted to great service. He even drove us to the train station. We were a bit sceptical of the lack of AC, but Ella is a bit more chilly than the rest of the country, so it wasn't a problem. Also a very memorable breakfast.

Wonderful stay
This is a great spot! It is right the heart of Ella, and a great location to see all the nearby attractions. The owner is super friendly and helpful, greeting us with tea and cake, as well as providing tea and juice free, which was needed after some tough hiking. Our room was super clean and had a great view of Ella rock. The most welcoming, kind and helpful owner we’ve met! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Will be back!
Great location, 1 min walk to city center. Host is a young lad, very helpful. The view from the terrace is awesome (Picture attached). Hot water available, no A/C but not required in Ella because it's in the mountains and slightly cooler. Walking distance to train station (10-12min walk) Based on the bedroom you get you may get a view of Ella rock from your window or step out into the shared patio. Breakfast spread well worth it, has sri lankan pancakes, toast, omelet, fresh brewed tea, coconut roti and side. Highly recommend!

One of the best hotels in Sri Lanka
Affordable, extraordinarily service and maybe the cleanest hotel we had. The location on the lower part of the waterfall road is ideal, too (close to the town but not too close). With just 3 rooms it is really a peace palace... Thanks Poorna.

The beautifull view on the montains was just spectacular. The host also did a great job. He was very polite, nice and flexible. He also told us some insiders in contrast of the country and city and destinations. For every question he had an answer and helped us a lot. On this way again: Thabl you so much for the awesome stay at your hotel. Keep going this way :-) By the way: the breakfast is delicious! Sri lanka style! If ypu wont take it you will miss something.
