This property is nestled up in the mountains with one of the most beautiful views I’ve seen in my life. The photos don’t do it justice you have to experience it for yourself. Heavenly place to relax and the breakfast was amazing. We also had dinner and cocktails at the restaurant which was amazing. Incredible staff, who are so kind and accomodating we were running late to late check in and had to check out very early. They made us a packed lunch for the train because we were missing breakfast. 10/10

LOVED the view! So peaceful and quiet. Shann was the perfect host, friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious also, just be sure to order nice and early as it takes a while due to being cooked with love. We loved the fun and relaxed vibe, the music, the pool and the Sri Lankan game Carrom.

A busy compact town with a young, hip vibe.

A busy compact town with a young, hip vibe. Prices are reasonable, weather can be a bit wetter and cooler than other parts of Sri Lanka. We loved the tea plantation and factory visit, as well as waterfalls and nine arch bridge. We were very lucky to see a train crossing (Dec18th 2025)as the recent landslides mean no current passenger carrying trains are running. Hopefully this is a sign that they may be back in service soon

Ella has an amazing vibe, it’s a very tourist-friendly place and a perfect base for daily hiking trips. It’s very different from other Sri Lankan cities and definitely worth a visit. But if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, choose accommodation slightly outside the center to avoid the noise

On the one hand Ella is really beautiful.

On the one hand Ella is really beautiful. Great views nice waterfalls, great hiking spots. On the other hand it is packed with tourists. You have to go out of the city quite far do find a more quiet area. Ella itself is quite small since there’s only one “big” road. For us it was way too crowded. It’s not the cute little local mountain village it used to be.

Stayed for 2 nights. Found it a bit crowded & it rained on both days. Chill Cafe is a great place to hangout & Somasiri is where you can get your essentials. 9 Arches bridge is...well, just a bridge but Ella has cute little train station and breathtaking views on the train ride down to Kandy.

It's a very nice, small town packed with restaurants and bars. The town centre may lack a bit of authenticity being on european side with trendy cafes and night clubs. Great for a short stay. Many activities around: Ella rock, Little Adam's peak, nine arch brige, waterfalls, tea plantations, Mahamevnara monastery, Many places ofering ayurvedic massage.

Ella is a great stop if you are heading from Nuwara Eliya to the south. It's mostly a tourist town, not that big. But the town is very organized and picturesque. The Ravana waterfalls is surely going to mesmerize you. And, if you are into hiking, this is a place you must include in your itinerary.

A charming boutique hotel about 15 minutes from Ella. The main bungalow is great, very atmospheric and the gardens are beautifully maintained. Expect to see lots of wildlife, including monkeys! Nice big pool. The kids loved the badminton court. We had a family room, which is two bedrooms with a lounge area in the main bungalow. Perfect for our family of 5. Excellent, big breakfast. The service was outstanding.

This hotel boasts an absolutely fantastic location (although high up a hill), making it easy to explore the area and not far from the Ella Rock hiking trail starting point. The entire property was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. To top it off, the breakfast provided was truly excellent and a great start to the day.

This hotel deserves its name! We had a great view on the surroundings: water fall, Adam’s peak and Ella rock. On top, we had the best breakfast on Sri Lanka in this hotel. The owners were very friendly. We were picked up from the main street to the premises by a tuk tuk.

Location is fantastic for Ella, right in the centre. Rooms are clean and large with big balcony. Such good value for money, you pay for what you get so whilst it’s not a luxury property, the staff are friendly and it’s clean and safe.
