The host is marvelous! We arrived on the broken scooter late in the evening. The host found for us a mechanic who fixed the scooter quickly and for reasonable price. Very very good and nice man!!! Chaminda, if you are reading this, thank you very much! We enjoyed the stay and we would love to come here again. The place is quiet and calm, the view is nice, on scooter it is very close to Ella. There are several small fruit stores nearby. The room is big, there is fan, no conditioner but it was not needed. The hotel has lovely territory and place outside with kitchen with nice view where we had breakfast and dinner.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and everything was spotless. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure every need was met. A special mention to Kristian and his wife, who were so welcoming and made the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be returning!

If you like nature, you have to book this place when you have the chance to! The view is simply amazing, directly looking at nine arches bridge, you can look at trains passing by all day long. The house is high enough that it isn’t too noisy, but close enough to just walk down to the bridge from the house. The view of the trees surrounding the nine arches bridge, for me, is surprisingly even more amazing than the bridge itself. Even though we visit on downpour days, and not possible to stay in the balcony at all times, the house still feels so cozy and the large windows allow us to enjoy the view all the same. The owner himself is also amazing. He took great care of us to ensure we have everything we need, and drove us into town and back to the house. He is always here! The breakfast is Sri Lankan, delicious, and the portion is huge! In fact, the house is one of the highlights of our Sri Lankan trip. Thank you! We hope we will come back some day!

The location was great, with a direct view on the waterfall from our balcony. The service was the best we got during our trip, Senu was a great help for accommodating transport from and to the hotel and a guide for the Ella rock trail. The breakfasts we got were delicious and local, and always served on time! The room was spacious and very clean.

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.

Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.

It is indeed a paradise! The terrace with the view is stunning! This was the best breakfast we had in 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and we stayed in way more luxury places too. The room is comfortable and clean and you have airconditioning, something rare in Ella. And the host Shan is amazing! He gave us great tips and arranged everything for us. Always responsive, the tuk tuk available, he made our stay! Thank you so much Shan!

Exceptional views, close to town walking along the rail tracks which was fun. Great rooms with balcony, huge comfy bed and large bathroom, good breakfasts. Sitting on rooftop deck at sunset was great, plus being able to use the infinity pool next door at 1000 Rps was a luxury after walks.

Waking up to that view you is a luxury. It’s a familiy run homestay and they will arrange anything for you. It’s not exactly in Ella’s center but they have a Tuk Tuk and will drop you off / pick you up from anywhere in the area. Also, best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka !
