I’ve been in this place for 2 days. The owner of this place is very nice friendly guy and his family also good. They give best hospitality service also. If you want relax your mind I think this is a better place for stay. It’s situated around nine arch bridge that one of the most amazing bridge on Sri Lanka. I’m happy to see like this kind of view. So I highly recommend this place😍❤️👌

Best place to stay in Ella

Peaceful, magic view of the bridge and the stars.   Short walk down to the bridge but a long way up to the main road which was the only downer.    Food good , family great but mostly left you alone as Severi worked in town.    10/10

Away from the mad tourist crowd.

No doubt about it, it's a beautiful place surrounded by nature, just in front of the nine arch bridge, which you can see while you are having breakfast. The owner is gently and will make everything to help you during your stay.
YOU CAN NOT MISS THIS FANTASTIC PLACE!!!

Best place in Ella

An amazing place to stay! The owner is probably the nicest man on the planet. The location is in the mountains, which is nice because it cools down at night. Breakfast was delicious! They even did our laundry on request for an excellent price. Would definitely recommend!

Nicest family and stunning views

The guest house is in a great location to view the 9 arch bridge. Its a little while from the main town, so if you want something away from all to tourists on a budjet or have your own transport, this is ideal.The host is very sweet and does a great Srilankan breakfast. If you choose not to stay, i recommend taking a taxi ot tutuk here and having an early breakfast overlooking the bridge and wathing all the trains go by. At this tine you will not see a tourist in sight. The accommodation is basic, but its clean and comfortable with hot water.The lady who runs the guest house is really sweet and makes a real effort to make you feel welcome whilst not making you feel you owe her anything other than what is agreed. Get down there at 6am for the trains, walk down to the view points and track later. This was one of our cheaper yet better experiances in Srilanka we had. I didnt get the ladys name, but she deserves top marks!!!

Great host clean and honest budjet accomodation with a great view

This place has the best view you can dream about if you're staying in Ella. Imagine waking up, looking out of your window and seeing the nine arch Bridge.

The rooms are clean, the shower hot, the breakfast simple but pure. The fresh juice fantastic.

The owners are so so friendly. They have their own Tuk Tuk and will pick you up or bring you somewhere for half of the price the other Tuk Tuk 's will charge you.

We planned to stay 1 night, ending up spending 3 nights without regrets.

5 min walk to the bridge. (so you can actually be there before its crowded)

The family is still improving their English but the more tourists will stay with them, the better it will get ;-)

PS. Book one of the 2 family rooms if you want the view from your room. 

Most amazing view

My girlfriend and I stayed at Senavi 9 Arch homestay for 1 night. The owner is a very kind family that built this house with their own hands. They are now extending the number of rooms, bit by bit... 
The 2 rooms upstairs have a fantastic view over the 9 arch bridge. A small path leads to the bridge in 5min. The room was very clean, the breakfast was very nice (small crepes, egg with thin pancake, sweet noodles, fruits, thea...).
We highly recommend this place for the people staying at Ella and don’t want the busy noise of the city center !

Very nice people and view

A beautiful view on the bridge with a very kind hostess. We had some delicious and very inexpensive juices while waiting for the train to come by. We did not spend the night, but the rooms looked great.

Beautiful view on the 9 arch bridge

This place is a little gem. The family that runs it are very kind and honest. Our room overlooked the nine arch bridge. Great view of the train even from inside the room. The shower was hot with decent water pressure. The couple was very kind to offer our son an early dinner so he could go to bed. They provide breakfast, but can offer dinner as well, if notified in advance. The food was delicious and home cooked. 

Not a far walk to the main road, in which you can get a tuk tuk or you can walk into town.You can also walk the railway to town. Getting down to the railroad from the home stay is a bit steep and narrow. I recommend good shoes for that.

Peaceful stay, great view

Cannot say enough positive things about this place! We stayed for 2 nights and were catered to the entire time. Senevi and his wife are the most welcoming and helpful hosts that we've had in our entire two weeks in Sri Lanka. They cannot do enough for you!This homestay is a few kilometres from Town, perched right above the 9 Arch Bridge. You do not even have to leave the balcony to watch the train go by (which we did every morning, while sipping delightful tea and eating an amazing breakfast prepared by our hosts - fruit, coconut roti, fresh juice, etc). Actually, you do not even have to leave the room to watch the train go by. The two rooms upstairs have windows facing the bridge. 

The rooms themselves were spotless - hot water, comfy beds, towels provides, mosquito nets (not sure we needed them - didn't see any mosquitos here). 

The location outside of town is great - we preferred to be away from town. You can walk town via the tracks (40mins), or the "jungle" (30mins) or by road (30mins). It is also a quick and cheap tuktuk ride away. Senevi was very helpful in either driving us to town himself when he was available, or arranging cheap tuktuks when needed. He was adamant that we didn't overpay, and would arrange tuktuks for 300-350 rupees. He even gave us his cell phone number in case we were in town and couldn't find a tuktuk to take us for 350 rupees or less! 

You can also walk to Little Adam's Peak from here - it only took us 45 minutes from the homestay to the top (and that is with sore legs from Big Adam's Peak a few days ago!). From Senevi to 98 acres (where mini Adams Peak trail starts) is really only a 15 minute walk. 

All in all - it was a fabulous stay. Senevi 9 Arch Homestay is highly recommended!
