To be sincere we really need to share the amazing view there was just looking from the window of the room.. The disappointing things were the staff very serious and smile less and the clean-less that was everywhere. The room was smelly and the bathroom very old and permanently dirty. The food not special.

Ambiente is located in the hills facing Ella Gap and "little adams peak". I personally enjoyed this place a lot, all though we stayed for only 1 night. I was very taken by the view from the gardens and our terrace. Night time you can see people climbing up the little adams peak with lanterns, day time you can enjoy... More

The Ambiente is set high above Ella with great views of the famous 'Gap'. Its up a steep hill from the village, so you're sort of obliged to eat here in the evenings and the food is so-so. Good rooms and nice superior-type budget decor. The big problem, at least the night we were there, was that the owners dogs,... More

We spent 31 nights touring Sri Lanka and this was our favourite hotel. The boss and all the staff are very welcoming, pleasant and efficient. We have travelled to over 60 countries and have never stayed in a hotel which is better situated - the beautiful gardens which are full of flowers and birds give on to a magnificent mountain... More

The whole point of living at this hotel is the view. It is amazing with both water falls, temples and if it´s a clear day you can see all the way down to the ocean. The rooms are basic but clean and they have a lovely garden to enjoy the view in. The food and service is acceptable and it... More

The view from the terrasse is really amazing. The food was okay. The staff was friendy and helpful - others than the somewhat weird owner who didn't even give us a glance...but the really disappointing thing was the accomodation. The room was a bit shabby, the blankets were not the freshest, neither the towels, the mattresses were worn-out, that was... More

We stayed for one night on a tour of Sri Lanka - a SriLankan friend had arranged it for us. Ambiente is a small hotel guest house high in the hills near Ella. The view from the balcony of the rooms is stupendous - from mountains to a distant view of the Rawana Falls. The customary friendly hotel dogs welcomed... More

I wanted my friends to see the wonderful view.....but the rooms were so disgusting that I asked our guide to find somewhere else for us to stay. I hva enever done that in many yers of travelling. Having stayed there some years ago I was aware that the rooms were basic but dirty I didn't expect! The bathrooms were absolutely... More

the view from our room (indeed any room - they all face the same way) was simply incredible. you will not be disappointed I promise. the food was also quite quite wonderful .... better than any other curry in nearly three weeks of eating. the rooms are basic but cheap is, as they say, cheerful. would love to spend a...
