When you first arrive at new accomodation there’s always that little worry - is it happily up to standard or a little disappointing. No worries at all at the Cubes. This accomodation exceeded our expectations, with lovely attentive staff and large quality rooms. A highlight for us was the dinning area which had a great view of the countryside where we could unwind and hang out after the long road trip in. We would absolutely recommend to a friend.

As the name is saying the place is awesome! Super friendly staff, good food and amazing views from the top of the hill. If you are looking for a place which is more isolated and private then it’s a perfect. It will take approximately 20-30 min with tuk tuk to the Ella city. It took longer by car so recommended to take a tuk tuk. The weather was a bit chilly during our stay (January) so we needed to wait a sunny day to use the pool :)

The owner is a special person. I stayed in 6 places in Sri Lanka, every owner were an amazing person, but he is a unique one. He washed my laundry, however they were full with dirty clothes. I stayed only one night and it was urgent for me to do the laundry and he immedieately helped me. Thanks!

Incredible views from the room and terrace! Spacious, cosy room with a kettle provided and hot water in the shower. The service was outstanding - the host communicated effectively and even gave us a free lift to the train station. The food was delicious and the servings were very generous. We even stayed at fancier hotels such as Marino Beach in Colombo and the duvet/comforter was more comfortable here and the service was better too. The room was also extremely clean, much cleaner than anywhere else we stayed in Sri Lanka. We couldn’t believe the amazing quality of this place for the price!

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.

I had an amazing stay at Nest of Peak in Ella! The hotel offers great service, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure guests feel comfortable. The location is perfect, with beautiful views and easy access to Ella’s top attractions. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and cozy, providing a relaxing stay. For the price, it’s definitely worth the money—you get great hospitality, comfort, and a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ella!

The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay at the hotel. We were greeted with smiles everyday and help on what best places we should visit while in Ella, we were given a superb breakfast every single morning and were always checked on to ensure we were comfortable and if there was anything we needed. The most amazing people here at Tunnel Top Inn & would 100% stay here again and recommend anyone to come here as it exceptional.

Ella Breeze is a wonderful hotel which I highly recommend. Rooms and service are great. It’s very comfortable and clean there. We also got breakfasts there during our stay - everything was fine. I want to thank manager Ajey who assisted us with helpful information about surroundings and helped us to organise transfer to Unawatuna even cheaper than they ask in the nearby taxi kiosks. Long live Ajey, may the power be with you!!!)))

Incredible view from this lovely boutique hotel on top of a large hill. It feels like being in a luxury large treehouse. The service was excellent and went above and beyond to give us a great experience! Nice touch was getting breakfast served on our private balcony.
