We had one night reserved for this location, but after arriving we liked it so much that we extended our stay for one more night at the expense of time by the sea. The bungalows were really lovely. The bed was perfect. Seating in front of the bungalow overlooking Ella Rock. You can see Ella Rock from the huge covered dining room. One of the best breakfasts and meals in general that we had in Sri Lanka. Barrier free pool with spectacular mountain views. Staff absolutely fantastic and caring. We could have easily stayed a week if we had more time. We give 11 out of 10 😁

We stayed for 2 nights and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer our questions and assist us. The view from the balcony was absolutely beautiful, a perfect place to relax. Although the location is a bit far from the city, the property offers its own shuttle service to the center at any time you need, which was very convenient. The only small downside was that the room got a bit chilly in the evenings.

The location was super close to the city. (4min by walk to the main street and restaurants. So super practical when it’s raining! The staff was super super nice. They even have a laundry service that is useful if you travel light. The breakfast was amazing and they can adapt when you need to take it. (coming from a french person that the greatest compliment:) ) Even the nice decorated room itself had everything you need : a good hairdryer, tea stuff, fridge, qtips, warm blankets and AC, even a small light when the city is running out of electricity.

It’s beautiful and neat. The food was delicious.The location is situated close to a few activities like Little Adam’s Peak, Ravana Club and the zip line. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They even decorated our bed and made a special cake for our anniversary. They go the extra mile. Really an amazing place, highly recommended!

When we give it a 10 out of 10, it is not because it is a luxury accomodation, but because it is value for money. Big cozy rooms, clean upon arrival, nice breakfast. Something different every day. Each day fresh juice. They even catered to 2 of us being glutenfree. Settled in the most amazing nature with views of the waterfall. The best location was top room to the right. Only a 10-12 minute walk to town as many others have described. Very nice family even though Senu is the only one who speaks good english. We can definately recommend this amazing homestay.

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.

hotel and restaurant are located smack in the center of town with a Bank of Ceylon atm (no transaction fees) downstairs. the room is cheap and cheerful and the balcony is a shared terrace with furniture overlooking the main street. Now the best bit, the attached restaurant is very good quality and our included breakfast was one of the best we had in sri lanka. Make sure you have one meal here if you are staying in Ella

The hotel has a fantastic view of Ella Rock and Ella Gap which was wonderful at both sunrise and sunset. We had a pleasant stay. The hotel is clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There are works going on at the moment to build a rooftop pool which I’m sure will be lovely when complete.
