We stayed at Eeshani on the basis of a positive review in the lonely planet but left wondering whether we should have read between the lines. This homestay is a bit like staying with in laws. I can understand some people might find that welcoming or homely but I found it uncanny. The fluffy toys, teddy bear motives and photos... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in one of the rooms next to the living room. The room was very spacious for 2 persons, simple but nicely furnished, and clean. The bathroom was also quite big and clean. The family is very welcoming, knowledgeable about the sites/areas, and provided excellent hospitality throughout our stay. My girlfriend was coughing terribly by... More

We were looking forward to spend some nights in Ella. This guesthouse had a high ranking on tripadvisor so we decided to stay here for 2 nights. But left after one. Alright, the family is very friendly and helpful but our room was next to the diningroom (in the livingroom) and because of that NOISY. Besides that the room is... More

We stayed here for three nights. The location is quiet, away from the main road and the garden is beautiful. The food was really nice, home cooked rice and curry and lovely breakfasts. The owners were very helpful and friendly, although sometimes it felt a bit much, like standing by the table watching us eat... We also ended up paying... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed ourselves. There is a lovely patio on the front, and you can look out onto the garden and read or check your email. The lady who runs the house is adorable and has 15 grandchildren! She barely speaks English so her son does most of the negotiating.He is very sweet though.... More

Eeshani is a ten minute walk from the station, ask and people will tell you the way. We felt very well taken care of whilst we were there. The dearest lady you can imagine cooks for everyone over a real fire. Try the vegetarian curry with stewed jack fruit seeds... delicious. Will return!

Fantastic stay. The approach to Eeshani is at the rear where works are ongoing to build a further 3 rooms on the second floor (a testament to how popular they are maybe). Don't be put off, though. Immediately as you enter you see the balcony and a view of the beautiful garden where they grow fresh fruit and veg and... More
