Ella hotels

Pros: Well looked after. Thank you.

Pros: Lovely place to stay with great views. Very helpful staff. Would definitely recommend Chill Ville and a trip to their sister cafe in Ella, Cafe Chill.

Pros: Fantastic view. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Clean, spacious room and bathroom. Good sense of minimalist decor. Nice large balcony and view with privacy.

Cons: The curtains didn't fully cover the front glass doors which made the privacy an issue The front door was difficult to close and kept jamming against the floor No room or bathroom slippers

Pros: Great breakfast, amazing view and very friendly staff! Great style but ready for some updating, specially for this price.

Cons: The room was filled with mots in the evening, this was stressfull right before sleeping. Also a lot of ants inside the room. Towels and bedlinen not the cleanest. The hotel is building an extra yoga space next to the pool where we had breakfast, this caused a lot of noise.

Pros: Absolutely stunning views from the pool and the room, staff are super attentive and friendly, breakfast is huge and delicious! The whole place is beautiful. We had only booked one night but stayed one more as we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave! They also found us an excellent guide/tuktuk driver called Dilshan who took us to Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arches Bridge.

Cons: It’s quite far from town, which is nice in one way but means you can’t just pop in for a drink, it’s a 15 min/600r tuktuk drive. They’re building a bar area next to the pool, which will be beautiful when it’s done but for now means there is a bit of noise when you’re sunbathing! Still would highly recommend.

Pros: The property had amazing views, great pool and excellent bedrooms (they also upgraded us complimentary). The staff were unbelievably helpful, they went above and beyond. We had dinner there for two nights and both times was delicious! The breakfasts were also wonderful, and they provided a packed breakfast when we hiked ella rock at sunrise.

Cons: The only complaint was that there was some construction going on - this barely impacted our stay though and was very minimal!

Pros: Staff very friendly attentive and helpful- excellent. View from the villa... Amazing Private location allows you to sit in bed with the curtains open and enjoy the view. After you've retired from the veranda of course. We enjoyed playing cards sipping a drink and admiring the view The villas are all angled to give privacy. The view of the mountains changes hourly. From sun, to clouds whipping off the tops. Occasionally a thunder storm to light up the valley. Each change brings a new vista to behold.

Cons: Building work going on until apx December 2019 prevents use of the infinity pool. It was open. But builders and noise right at the side of it so a no go for us. This will be a new restaurant. Which is needed. The existing restaurant lacks atmosphere. Breakfast was also served in the same area. The building work continues at breakfast. My half of the bed mattress was uncomfortable. 2 singles mattress used to make up the bed.

Pros: The best continental breakfast we ate in whole Sri Lanka. No loud music, no distractions, just beautiful view of the valley and a few squirrels :) We loved to spend time at our porch, now I'm kind of sad to live in an apartment building, in a huge city :(

Cons: A little out of the Ella City, not easy to go if you don't hire a tuktuk or have a car. But if you're seeking for a calmness and serenity, this is the right place.

Pros: Everything was special

Cons: Too many bees around that place

Pros: Location and staff were amazing and went out their way to help

Cons: Family room had no privacy for four people to stay in; there were ants everywhere-including on the beds (totally understand I was in Sri Lanka) The parking space was an absolute nightmare to get to; a very steep hill, the poor staff had to physically push our Hiace van up!

Pros: The breakfast was amazing. The place is located 500 meters from Kital Ella Railway Station. From here you can walk to Daban waterfall and start tracking to Ella rock without transportation. If you wish to go to the city it will take 15 minutes drive.

Pros: We loved our night stay here, wish we could of stayed another night. The owner Venura & staff member Sassi were so lovely. Venura even came & picked us up from town after we had dinner so we didn’t have to get tuk tuk. The rooms are lovely & tidy & seem relatively new. The bathroom was clean & New & hot water shower. The breakfast was amazing, could have fed an army. Waking up to the view over Valley in the morning was beautiful. We highly recommend staying here at Ella Dream Catcher

Cons: Nice place to stay. Delicious foods. Really enjoyed the holiday. Highly recommended.

Pros: It's quiet, not very far from Ella town. Road is bit tricky but it's common in the area. Owner Venura is very nice guy. Breakfast is really good, tastfull and easy. I liked the spot very much with the train tracks rounding the mountain top, which can be viewed from the balcony..

Pros: Location is excellent. Clean and spacious rooms. Very good service.

Pros: Superfriendly, perfect Service, the host drove us to the city several Times without charging anything. The food was very very good. In total we had 2 perfect days.

Pros: The room was super clean and big with a balcony and a really nice view! Its possible to see the famous train (Nuwara Eliya to Ella). Bed was big and comfy. Bathroom was bigger than in our previous accomodation. The staff was amazing, always helped us with everything we needed, provided a free transport to Ella bus station or made the tea for free. Breakfast was super huge and amazing! Not just sri lankan breakfast but also the western version. It was made really fast, when we sit we had the breakfast immediately. I must recommend this accomodation!

Cons: The location is in the mountains a bit so you have to take tuk tuk (or car or whatever) when you want to go somewhere (especially to Ella city center). But we hired the bike in this accomodation which was absolutely ok and cheap so it was no problem for us.

Pros: Good host, nice food and room with a balcony

Cons: Not much of a good view, too much of bee's

Pros: Manager Venura and the staff made our experience really special in Sri Lanka. They are the kindest people we met, very attentive and helpful. Chef cooks much better than other fancy restaurant in the town, authentic Lankan food, and great hospitality. The location was really close to Ella Rock and the views were majestic. Thank you for having us there. This place is a gem for travellers.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was great!

Pros: Have good room for families with kids Spacious room Good shower Big tasty Sri Lankan breakfast Great views

Pros: We had a great stay at the lodge. The people were very friendly and helpful. We got a big family room for just the two of us. The beds were cozy and comfortable. You are in the middle of the forest and can enjoy nature. We had a wonderful yoga lesson and enjoyed dinner two times there.

Cons: The trip they arranged was very nice but the driver didn’t speak English well, so that he couldn’t answer our questions.

Pros: Wonderful place with the nature around you at its best. Lovely host and very good service. Definitely will come back to stay for longer.

Cons: Like all of it

Pros: The calm and peacefull surroundings. It's just like you're in the middle of the jungle, including the animals. Only a short walk to the centre of Ella. The people who work here are very nice and helpfull. We even extended our time here!

Pros: Exceptional welcome and attentiveness from staff. Beautiful breakfast, offering a mix of Western and local cuisine. Great coffee and snacks available throughout the day. Easy tuk tuk ride to town with a driver always on hand. Took two yoga classes which were well catered to each person's level. Despite being deep in nature the rooms were well protected from mosquitos and local wildlife.

Cons: Really great!

Pros: As soon as we arrived at Arana we felt immediately relaxed. Our room felt like a luxurious tree house overlooking the jungle, which included a spacious deck with beanbags and chairs where we could chill and watch squirrels hop throughout the trees. Arana offered a variety of activities that were held on site, and also offered tours of the local area that could be arranged by staff. During our stay we did a cooking and yoga class, both of which were fantastic! We also loved the choice of Sri Lankan breakfast options, they were so delicious!

Pros: I loved staying at this place! My room was lovely finished, well equipped and very clean! The stuff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was just awesome! I would definitely stay there again! It’s just a 15 minute walk to the main street if you don’t want to take a tuktuk! You must be aware that the Lodge is in the middle of nature and that you have to manage some steps to reach it!

Cons: Everything was fine! :-)

Pros: The location is a little bit out of town and set into the mountains. It was amazing to wake up to that scenery. It was also great to explore around that area on the way to Ella Rock. The staff were super helpful.

Cons: It is a little bit out of the way so you have to walk on the main road in the dark when going out for dinner at night - i would recommend getting a tuk tuk. There was building works going on at the time which hindered my stay a little bit and I really felt that I could have found somewhere in the same spot, just as beautiful for a lot smaller budget

Pros: Our room had the most breathtaking views! Whilst not far from the main town of Ella, this feels like you're immersed in the jungle. We really enjoyed the cookery lesson and all the staff were really helpful and made great suggestions for things to do in and around Ella. We loved spotting wildlife around the hotel.

Cons: I noticed quite a few mosquitoes (as you might expect in this kind of climate), although staff were burning citronella in the restaurant. We were disappointed that there was no yoga during our stay - it would have been good to have been told this in advance.

Pros: Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, helped us to go to a really nice waterfall, nice rooms

Cons: Bit noisy from the road

Pros: The place is just a paradise. In the middle of jungles, surrounded by trees, mountains, small animals and singing birds. There are few stown steps down the hill to get to the lodge and find yourself in an oasis of pure nature. The owner and the staff are extremely helpful and welcome, from the very first moment it felt I was treated as a friend rather than a paying guest. The place is a little out of the city center, 15 minutes walking, but you cannot get such surroundings in the middle of town. And it is conveniently located for hiking to Little Adam’s Peak, Ravana Waterfall and Cave. The room is cosy, clean and tasteful, with a big double bed ( with mosquito net ) and resting area. Bathroom is also clean and with the toiletries provided. The room has an entrance to the big wooden terrace with mountain view that is perfect for having a cup of hot coffee / chocolate in the morning or a rest in the afternoon after visiting some sightseeings in Ella. The food is amazing with both vegetarian and vegan options. There are many varieties of breakfast, Sri Lankan and western. Highly recommend to go for pancakes with coconut and honey for breakfast, and pumpkin or/and deep fried eggplant curry for dinner. A big advantage is a possibility to book the tour to visit different places in Ella, or to take some cooking or yoga classes with flexible hours that adjusted to guests schedule. Overall, that was a perfect stay, one of the best I had in Asia, and 100% recommend it!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very friendly hostess, helped us in everything, delicious breakfasts. Amazing view from the room.

Pros: Beautiful view. City is a 10 minutes walk over de railway track away.

Cons: Location is wrong on Google maps.

Pros: Beautiful view Run by a friendly family Lovely breakfast A easy 10 min walk from town or the hosts can book a tuk tuk for you Modern Comfy bed

Cons: The power cut off quite a few times . When we enquired after it had been off for 2 hours we were informed it is off for 2 hours everyday ( it lasted longer than 2 hours ) It would be good to include that information during booking as it is quite an inconvenience being in the late afternoon / evening we would not have booked if we knew this. There is some other building going on on the property which is noisy , we were already up and ready to head out each day when it started so it didn’t effect us, but may not suit others.

Pros: We had an excellent stay at Mount Shadows. The host was so kind and she made the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka! A mix of western x sri lankian with every morning different food (we stayed 4 nights). The breakfast was delivered on your terrace! The view of the room and terrace was absolutely amazing. You could see a piece of the railway, the Ella’s rock and little Adams peak! The room looked nice and neat like the photos.

Pros: The view of the room overlooking Kithalella with all the mountains was breathtaking and you can see the trains passing while having breakfast. Also, it’s minutes away from all the spots to visit in Ella and walking minutes away from Nine Arch Bridge. Also, we were struggling with how to move and find a tuktuk up until the property manager offered to give us a ride whenever needed with his tuktuk :)

Cons: The property is only single room and feels a little bit deserted even though they’re other popular guesthouses right at the end of the road, but late at night, it gets a bit scary and feels a bit unsafe.

Pros: Amazing view from balcony and best breakfast in Sri Lanka.

Cons: The bungalow was a bit moist. I think they should put an ac inside

Pros: Really good breakfast, very friendly host, clean place and an amazing view.

Cons: The shower needs repair but manageable.

Pros: The view from the room on the mountains is amazing! the breakfast is simple but good and typical homemade from Sri Lanka. Good location for : Ella rock, nine arches bridge The owner and his wife are extremely nice. I highly recommend this place !

Cons: The way to go to the room is muddy when it’s raining. Quickly forget by all the positive points

Pros: The owner was extremely kind and helpful! He prepared a packed breakfast for us on the day we went for a day trip and had to leave before sunrise. Amazing view and good large breakfast! Quiet haven, away from town but only 10 minutes walk to town.

Pros: Arriving almost in the jungle above the train line with a nice view. The host is fantastic, helpful and always smiling. Welcome juice is delicious. Privacy and romantic is guaranteed - for now - its just one room.

Pros: So nice and kind family ♥️ the greatest view in Ella for sure.

Pros: Very friendly owners. The place was clean. No AC but has mosquito nets above bed. Be aware there are slats of wood that is open to the outside. Warm water in shower. Great view with their morning tea.

Cons: Didn't clearly know how high the guesthouse is on the mountain. Only can take a tuk tuk up all the way which is a very bumpy ride. Or the tuk tuk can drop you off at bottom of stairs and you have to climb up. A bit steep. If you are in good condition then not a problem. Just be aware.

Pros: For one day great.

Cons: Far from the mainroad. Long climb uphill. Damp beds/linnen.

Pros: Great local cuisine served by the family. Delicious cinnamon tea. Very nice view. Calm, suitable for families.

Pros: Very kind hosts

Pros: The family is helpful and the breakfast was very good. Room is functional and clean.

Cons: Too much light coming in from the windows

Pros: This was my nicest stay in Sri Lanka. The bed was luscious, the shower was nice and warm, and the view from the balcony was lovely.

Cons: It didn’t bother me, but be aware that the guesthouse is up a big hill. That’s how you get the views!

Pros: Great place to stay in Ella. Room was sufficient and comfortable. Located in a quiet street but very central still.

Pros: The room is big and very clean, there are many facilities, location on the heart of ella, staff is very friendly and kind if anyone will go to ella i will highly recommend to stay on Senasuma homestay

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Big spacious room with large comfy bed. Bathroom was big and clean and staff was so nice to us. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Its located few mins from the centre by walking.

Pros: Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Bed was very comfortable. Beautiful views.

Cons: The bathroom had a very bad smell and as much as the owner tried to clean it and spray airfreshner it didn't disappear. Almost like a sewage smell. We kept the bathroom door locked and that seemed to keep it from the bedroom.

Pros: Clean room with fridge and a nice shower. Comfy bed. We had breakfast one time, that was good. The other days we left before 6:30 am, so to early for breakfast. Great location, walking distance to the main street and train station.

Pros: We enjoyed our stay in Ella. Especially the spacious veranda was great. Our hosts were very friendly and provided us with everything we needed. The breakfast was huge and delicious.

Pros: Very nice and clean room. Very friendly host. A big and delicious breakfast. Very close to Little Adam's peak and bridge. Reccomended!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Lovely place to stay with a nice private balcony to relax on. Comfortable and clean accommodation. The hosts were helpful and friendly and made us a very nice breakfast. The location was perfect too, nice and close to the main town but in a quiet area.

Cons: Slight smell of damp in the room.

Pros: Tasty breakfast and nice veranda. The owners are friendly but not as helpfull as we experienced at other places. Maybe because they are a bit shy. Accidently I broke the toiletseat and they did not make a problem of it.

Cons: We did not like the bathroom and shower at all. The bedsheet was to small (there are fleece blankets though). Room is small but you can sit outside. Location is beautiful but it is a tough walk to the centre.

Pros: Beautiful spacious room, with very friendly and helpful owners.

Cons: Road back at night time wasn’t very well lit.

Pros: Owner is nice, breakfast wonderfully rich. Calm surroundings with a lot of birds, bananas trees just in front of porch.

Cons: No hot water even during sunny days - we were told owner has solar heating system for the water - it did not work obviously :( The smell in room was somewhat moldy

Pros: Hostfamily is very nice Breakfast was great Children were very polite Five minutes to city centre Easy laundry service Wifi worked properly

Cons: View completely blocked by banana trees Room is damp, because water in the shower stays on the floor (between super-fancy rocks) You have to open the windows frequently, otherwise it gets too wet and hot In the night stray dogs bark on the terrace, so you have to keep the windows closed - which makes the nights hot and loud Water was always cold ~Family was super nice, but you have to handle the noise in the night and the wet room

Pros: Really nice accommodation, quiet location with nice view, though close enough to the city center. Nice owner. Exceptionally clean bathroom compared to what we encountered in Sri Lanka.

Pros: Good location for little Adams peak. Also for people that want to be away from the busyness and noise of the center. Only 10’min walk from the center. Nice breakfast. Each rooms have their own terrace. Friendly staff.

Cons: A lot of humidity in the room. The smell was strong. Surrounded by dogs that yelled in the night. No hot water in the shower...

Pros: Hosts - They couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was great - timings were flexible and we even got a pack up on our last day for our early train journey. Great location, far enough from town to be away from the noise but close enough to be an easy walk in and out. (15 minutes walk from station) Safe location.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great view and restaurant just a couple of doors down. The host Arun was fantastic and made the stay a wonderful experience for my wife and I. Thanks for all

Cons: Nothing, All was great

Pros: Clean and comfortable room .good view. Staff very friendly and helpful. delicious breakfast and dinner. We book this place only one night but we staying two more night.... We really enjoying and highly recommend this place......

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Arun and Anbu were both friendly and extremely helpful. We stayed for 03 nights and for the last day, we requested for string hoppers for breakfast and he gladly obliged with no extra cost. They were quick to help us when the water was too hot in the shower and made our stay extremely pleasant.

Pros: Nothing more important (not the bed, not the breakfast, not the hospitality) than feeling safe and comfortable in the place you reserved... and this was missing!

Cons: ⛔!!! Pleaseeeeee Be Careful from this host! He stole from our belongings !!!!!⛔ ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Usually if i didn't like my booking.. i put 2 or 3 stars and leave.. but for Aura Breeze i couldn't!. 1) He stole my

Pros: Our host was simply amazing. Not just that he drove us 2 times for free into the city, he also took care about our friends, who needed a drive to the national park. Our friend Kiki wants us to mention the wonderful and soft wool blanket. And I need to be very honest: the rooms are clean and very coozzy. We are traveling with a princes, who loves animals, so she was amazed by the dog babies and by the monkeys during the day. In total this place is super good, if you want to be in the nature, but also very close to Ella City. We can simply support your decision, if you want to book Aurora Breeze Ella.

Pros: The property is up in the mountains which I was worried about but the sound of the birds and the fresh, clean mountain air is beautiful & it is only 400 rupees tuk tuk to the town of Ella. A friendly local gave me a lift for free one day The hosts Aruna & Chathuri are lovely and made sure I had wifi and everything I needed The breakfast was big and fresh and the room I had was a good size with a nice bathroom and hot water I had a room facing the rd but off to the right on the balcony I could see the mountains and sunrise

Pros: Comfortable bed and clean room . this hotel little bit out of busy city. We were very happy.the staff was always cordial and friendly.we were happy for three days.the look of our room is very beautiful.Each room shows a blue mountain range.Facing the blue hills.It consists of comfortable rooms and bathrooms.It can be named as a lovely place to pay for.Recreations is a great place to relax.certiainly was a recommended place.if I ever go back to Ella this is where i'd want to stay again.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Yes,its comfortable as we hope.we really enjoyed the days we spent there.bedroom and bed were clean and comfortable.bathroom also clean and with hot water . Its not far from the Ella .and we could rent a taxy for small amount Its very close to ella rock and its easy travel there ..owner also flexible enough to made our stay comfy.breakfast and dinner also super and delicious. Recommend this place to stay calm and quietly ..

Pros: Good view and delicious breakfast . clean and comfortable bed. Staff very friendly and helpful.i highly recommend this place.......

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing view from the room we got. Very good breakfast!!! Host offers taxi service to all touristic destinations at a fair price. That was really convenient for us as we had to leave for Galle during national holiday where drivers generally take the day off.

Cons: Shower pressure was very low. Room can get really hot at night. Need to keep the door or window open

Pros: Staff is very accommodating

Cons: Not really a value for money.

Pros: The view is really amazing. The food is also really nice, and compared to the places down at the main street it's more or less equally priced, that surprised us in a good way.

Cons: The staff is very nice and extremely polite, but could be a bit more confident and relaxed. Maybe the place is a bit overpriced compared to other places we stayed in Sri Lanka.

Pros: clean with excellent staff

Cons: the facilities were in the sister hotel down the road. No AC.

Pros: Very nice hotel with amazing views. The room was great and had everything we needed. The staff is super friendly and willing to help. We recommend this place.

Pros: Delightful staff. They were very accommodating and provided us with a wonderful breakfast, with a large choice of options. Rooms were clean and quiet. Bathrooms were very spacious and very clean.

Cons: Everything about our stay was perfect. The road leading to the hotel is a little broken and quite narrow, but isn't an issue for most vehicles.

Pros: - Exceptional concept - sensitive combination of architecture and nature - Truly excellent manager - Customer oriented staff - Delicious Food (both Srí Lankan and Western) - Infinite pool

Cons: - WiFi only works around reception - The place is “hidden gem”, it is not easy to find it ať the first time

Pros: The comfortable wooden chalets have a wonderful pine scent, and amazing views! The staff is very kind, and they provide an extensive breakfast with great pancakes! Highly recommended!

Pros: The staff is amazing, helping with every little thing. The views is exactly what we looked for, you can see any interest point in Ella from it. The infinity pool has the perfect view. We were upgraded due to off season so we got a very nice room, big and comfortable!

Cons: During the night there is a lot of noise of animals from the outside, personally I couldn’t fall asleep easily though my husband didn’t mind it at all. We got a couple of lizards in our room that made an annoying noise as well. But this is something to take in consideration when you travel to Sri Lanka, these animals and insects are everywhere and it’s hard to avoid them.

Pros: Staff extremely attentative and helpful.

Pros: The view, the staff, the cabin and restaurant

Pros: The people are really friendly and they are very willing to do everything for you. The manager speaks good English and they are very kind in everything. The location and the view are outstanding and beautiful. We stayed in a luxury room and had a great balcony from which you could see Ella Rock. It’s also a great place to do your laundry.

Cons: There was no fridge in the room. We brought a stroller and the road to the location is very steep so not really ideal with a baby because after the steep road you still have to walk some stairs.

Pros: The personnel was very friendly, had great advice on what to do in the Ella area, and when to do it. Also the breakfast was prepared with love, which showed. The best thing about this place was the view, very nice!!

Cons: The windows in the room had air filters in it. While this is nice for fresh air, this did not hold any noise outside. With a lot of barking dogs, temples starting their prayers around 04:30 and cafes in the surroundings, this disrupted our nights.

Pros: After the way up to this guest house, you’ll meet wonderful and kind people who will help you with anything you need. We had a simple but nice and comfortable room by the garden. Breakfast was huge and delicious. Just get ready to climb up the street to get there but it’s nothing. You are less than 5’ walk from the main road and all shops and restaurants.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very near the Main Street in Ella, right off chill bar which was handy. Staff were really friendly and helped with our luggage up the (very) steep hill.

Cons: Shower had no basin and splatters all over the floor, takes a really long time to dry out. Couldn’t flush toilet paper.

Pros: The accommodation is very clean. The bed was very big and comfortable. In the morning the friendly staff serves a nice breakfast.

Pros: Very basic though clean room with an amazing view from the terrace. Quite a good location: near the main road with all the restaurants, bars, shops, etc. Worth its money

Cons: The last 300m to the hotel is very steep climb, our car didn't manage to get there even. The breakfast was not that tasty

Pros: Sipping coffee in the morning with an unobstructed view of ella rock

Pros: Room size, wifi and breakfast were all really good

Cons: It was a steep walk to the property but the view was worth it

Pros: Very clean rooms and an amazing view. Could leave the bags with the manager when we went hiking on our last day.

Cons: There are construction works going on so enjoying the view in silence was wishfull thinking. Really a dissapointment. Also: on the door in the bathroom was mentioned that they would clean at least once a day: we stayed two nights but the bins were never cleaned.

Pros: Good bed, central location. Spacious room, nice terrace! Breakfast good!

Cons: Very steep way up; maybe not suitable for elderly. No cleaning of room in 3 days; bathroom would have been nice. They’re constructing lots of buildings in the surrounding. Buddhist temple very loud but that’s not their fault : bring ear plugs!

Pros: Great location. The breakfast was fantastic .

Cons: Water pressure was very very low.

Pros: Nice and clean room. Great view on Ella Rock! Good breakfast and the owner is helpful :)

Cons: One part of the shower didn't work

Pros: Fantastic location, really beautiful, quite and relaxing but also really short walk on to the Main Street. Loved my time at this hotel, the couple that run it could not have been more helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay

Pros: Ella Ridge View is located away from the hustle of the main streets and the rooms have breathtaking views on the Ella Rock. It's a nice 20 mins walk through a residential area or 5 mins in a tuck-tuck from the main streets. There's no common area, just the rooms but each with a little balcony where you will get your breakfast and 2 super comfy beanie bags to chill on while admiring the views. The family that runs it is very nice and helpful! They have 2 children so our little one was able to play with them which was an added bonus for us :)

Pros: Beautiful view. 7 min walk from the center but still isolate and quite. Nice owner

Cons: Low water pressure in the shower . The shower a little dirty. But i will return to this place

Pros: Very nice view on Ella Rock and Ella Gap! Lovely breakfast on our balcony with the stunning view. The room was big, had everything we needed and was clean. The host did everything he could to help us. The rooms are located close to the nine arch bridge and Little Adam's Peak.

Cons: It's a little far from the main street with restaurants and bars. You can take a tuktuk to the centre but it costs 300 rupies one way.

Pros: Fantastic view of Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock. The breakfast was home cooked and absolutely fantastic. Great start for a day of hiking in the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We had a great time here.

Pros: Nice and caring owners, very nice and comfortable cabin with great mountain view right out of the bed and a super tasty breakfast on the own terrace. Well located for hiking to little Adam's peak.

Cons: Shower either icecold or superhot

Pros: Very nice family owned cottages, amazing view, very friendly owners. Breakfast was great. Would definitely stay here again

Cons: Rien

Pros: The view from the room was fantastic, looking out to Ella rock. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. They served a very good breakfast and it was plentiful. They were helpful with any of our requests, even for early morning breakfasts. We really enjoyed our stay as it is close to the centre of Ella, yet felt like you were more secluded.

Cons: Water pressure in the shower was a bit low.

Pros: We loved everything about this lovely place. It’s just over the train tracks and so you can walk into town via them or other attractions. The staff are amazing. Room lovely. View spectacular . Breakfast outstanding . Would stay again and recommend highly to anyone. 5 mins in tuk tuk to town. Love love loved it

Cons: Not a thing only we couldn’t stay longer, but will do next time for sure .

Pros: Excellent location with stunning views. Fabulous hospitality and the best Sri Lankan breakfasts. Very relaxing location.

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic

Pros: The room view, the quietness, the breakfast and the staff.

Cons: Repeated black out, old style bathroom and missing a laggage table.

Pros: The balcony and the view at the back , comfortable room . Breakfasts were great ! Kunjer was really very hospitable and nothing was any trouble at all !

Cons: No road access . Accessing the property was by crossing the railway line .

Pros: Very friendly staff and peaceful surroundings. Beautiful breakfast included on the patio.

Cons: Our bathroom window needed repair. Some of the room furnishings were a little worn.

Pros: Lovely staff and location

Pros: The owner is so friendly and helpful. He can help you with all clones of service and looks after the safety of the guests. For example this was the only hotel in Sri Lanka which offered a flash light in the room. Very handy when there is hardly any street lights. The view of the surrounding is amazing.

Cons: It’s a little bit noisy close to the rail track and with surrounding sounds from religious buildings. We woke up early a couple of times.

Pros: The location is beautiful, just in the middle of the nature and actually very close to the town centre, just a few minutes walk over the rails. The man working there is very friendly and willl try to help you as much as he can, he also prepared really nice breakfast for us.

Cons: Unfortunately, the windows and doors are not closing properly and when you are in the middle of the nature this means you'll get lots dust and insects in your room and might have unwanted visitors like we did during the night, mice! We mentioned this to the man working there and he inmediately bought some poison. The room was not very clean and the whole bathroom gets wet when you have a shower. I think that compared to other accomodations in Sri Lanka, this one was overpriced for the quality you get.

Pros: The staff was wonderful and helped with everything, breakfast was amazing, the room was clean and spacious, good value for money. Nice view from the little terrace of the room.

Cons: Close to the railway so the noise from the trains passing by can be annoying, first train around 6 am. Bathroom shower had no curtain but it was doable.

Pros: The view from the bedroom is Amazing! Also the Stuff was super Kind and caring. Having a delicious breakfast while looking at the Mountains and waterfall was the past part. We Would totally stay There again and recommend This lovely accomodation

Cons: We had troubles with the electricity. It Went off quite often, so we Couldnt use the wifi and charge the phone theoigh all the time

Pros: We were in Ella for three days. Staying at this place was amazing, because of the Mountain View (all rooms are with Mountain View!), very clean and cosy apartments, delicious breakfast (also include some Sri Lanka dishes), you could take also a dinner (it would be Sri Lankian and spicy for Europeans:) ,but tasty!) Owners are the family, so you could feel yourself there like at home! In the end hostess gave us a little souvenir,and it was really pretty))

Cons: Not found

Pros: Great views and 5 minutes walk to town. Eranga was an awesome host.

Pros: The view was stunning and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and the fruit platter included passion fruit from their own tree. There is a short cut into Ella town and it takes only a minutes to get there. The bed was comfy and I really enjoyed our stay at Laura and recommend this place.

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: Hotel Laura had fantastic views across the valley to little Adams peak, Ella rock and also the train travelling around the mountain. We read a number of negative reviews about certain aspects at this property but we didn’t experience any. It would be quite hard to find the property initially on your own when first arriving in Ella especially with luggage so would recommend getting a Tuk Tuk which was an easy and cheap ride. All the drivers knew where the hotel was. The owners were quiet but in this tranquil setting was perfect and they were always available to give us advice and friendly chit chat. They also showed us a short cut on the 5-10min walk across the railway track to the town. We had a free bottle of water, tea & coffee in the room and there were refrigerated bottles of water and soft drinks that cost as little as £0.46. Breakfast was nice offering omelette or scrambled egg, toast with jams, freshly made fruit juices, fresh fruit, tea and coffee. Whilst there was no air conditioning the fan sufficed, we found Ella to be a slightly cooler climate than other places we’d visited so it was fine for our trip in September. Such a pleasant stay with breathtaking views! Would definitely recommend.

Pros: Beautiful location. Staff was friendly. Delecious food. I would like to stay there again. Few minutes walk to Ella town & railway station.

Pros: An excellent place to relax, to view Ella Rock with their superb breakfast. The room is very spacious with almost all the facilities. We will go there again. We were given a souvenire by the owner. Very friendly staff. Thanks for everything.

Pros: Since Ella is the most beautiful place i have been to in Sri Lanka, i believe that exactly this place helped me to have this experience. It is not far from the railway station, there is actually a shortcut that leads you to the property, you just ask around cause you might get very tired after the trip and it is a bit tiring to walk up to the hill :) The property is a bit on a hill and it has just an amazing view and just in front of Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. I could just stare at the view and have the feeling like the whole world is yours! The family that owns it is really pleasant and helpful! Wish to go back again! Recommended!

Cons: There is absolutely nothing i didnt like about this place :)

Pros: Room with a view of Ella rock and little adam's peak

Pros: Everything was better than described. Comfortable bed, lovely verandah and the view, the view, the view. Will definitely return!!

Cons: Nothing to improve. The owner has got this!

Pros: Staff were really lovely and helpful

Pros: Nice view to Ella Rock, very well maintained and nicely illuminated. Very friendly and always present staff. Breakfast was quite big. Hair dier, water heater and fridge as well as good illumination in the room.

Cons: The accomodation is a little bit outside the village (10-15 minutes by foot). There was only little water if you took a hot shower.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and supportive. The breakfast was very nice.

Pros: Good breakfast and the familyroom has a good size for a family of 5

Pros: There were such a nice stuff! The two ladies who work there are so professional, sweet, kind and really helpful (we had problems with our car and they helped us fixing it). Amazing location (just 5min walk to ella), but really quiet and with mountain views! Amazing breakfast and rice and curry for a good price! I would go there again for sure!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Friendly staff, good breakfast, walking distance to the center of Ella.

Cons: Outdated bathroom and not very clean sheets

Pros: New Blue Home is a great place. Not far away from the Ella town (10 minutes to walk) and little Adam's Peak. And the staff are very welcoming and helping. The breakfast was very tasty. We decided to stay one more night. Highly recommended.

Pros: The rooms were clean and comfortable with mosquito nets. Rose and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even organising a great cooking class for us which was great food and value (definitely do this). Breakfast was great and always filled us up. Location was great with only a 5 minute walk to the Main Street, close to the nine arch bridge and about an hour walk up to little adam’s peak.

Pros: Nice host, good location-on the way to 9 Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak, close to the city center but far enough not to hear the music from there.

Pros: very very very very beautiful view, the staff was almost perfect. nice dinner and delicious nice and very big breakfast. perfect concept only too far from the city

Cons: insects

Pros: Clean rooms and a nice view. The boys that welcomed us were very friendly and gave us some recommendations about the area. They dragged our suitcases all the way to the top, made us some tea and made us feel welcome.

Cons: There was a hostel right below the hotel, where they were partying till late, something we were definitely not expecting. Because of that, the serenity and quietness we were hoping for wasn’t all that. The box/room itself was tidy, but very small. The water pressure was very low. We are not the type of people that stays in luxurious places, but this felt a little bit like camping to be honoust.

Pros: The breakfast, the view and the staff were just great! The staff brought tea and biscuits to the room without being asked. The view is breathtaking, so is the peace and quiet. During our stay we were very fortunate to witness a thunderstorm followed by a full rainbow, we felt privileged! The bed is comfy and the hot shower very good. Considering that, after all, you are staying in a 40 foot container, this is not bad at all! My wife and I did some trekking in the area for five days and it was the perfect place to come home to after a day's trek. Suggestion: When you book a (refurbished) container on top of a mountain as your hotel room, for that price, you obviously do not expect 5-star comfort, but with the simple addition of a kettle and complimentary tea/coffee/drinking water, a hairdryer maybe, it would be more comfortable, as the location is a little remote, which is great, but you just can't pop out and go to the shop, you are 5 km from town!

Pros: The serviced by staff and friendly welcome...

Cons: The entrance way was very hard to go up because i went by byke that’s was slipped

Pros: Everything was perfect Very nice and cosy place

Pros: My wife and I stayed here for one night. The hotel consists of two shipping containers which have been made into very comfortable rooms with a superb view over the hill country around Ella. The staff were very friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make us feel welcome. They greeted us with tea on arrival and cooked us a delicious omelette before we left for our next hotel.

Cons: The location is too far to easily walk from Ella town although the view compensates for this. We got a tuk tuk into town which cost about 500 rupees each way. However, a tuk tuk can't get up the driveway to the hotel from the main road with two people in the back so you will need to walk the last bit.

Pros: View from box is great, neighbourhood is calm and quiet. Perfect place if you want to chill and rest. Stuff is young, smiling, helpful and full of energy.

Cons: Room is a bit far from the city center. Tuk tuk costs 800 rupees each side - stuff in the hotel can help you to organize that. Also, in my opinion stay is a bit overpriced.

Pros: The staff was really nice and very accommodating, the place has an amazing view, great spot for sunset and sunrise.

Cons: The place is up a hill so be ready for the hike. A little bit far from the centre.

Pros: Lovely place Excellent staff Superb service Unforgettable memories

Cons: Parking is little difficult

Pros: We booked the big room with a balcony with the best view ever! You can see Ella Rock and Little Adams peak and the hills right there. They bring the breakfast to the room everyday and having it on that balcony is just unbelievable. Also the room is general is very cozy, feeling like a cabana in the woods. The woman running the place and the staff were very friendly and helpful in everything.

Cons: It can get a bit noisy because is near a main road, also owls might drop staff on your roof during the night, apart from that, some insects noise,

Pros: Very friendly and hard working people! Amazing view on Ella rock!

Cons: Curtains let all the light tru

Pros: Amazing view from the balcony! The room was nice and clean. And the staff was so nice.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very close to Ella strip, lovely family run hotel, views are amazing!

Cons: Bath was made of concrete which wasn’t appealing, too much furniture in the room. No need for a sofa

Pros: Simply stunning. Open planning, gorgeous floor to ceiling glass windows and sparkling clean rooms with all the amenities made our stay at Country Homes one to remember. We were greeted with fresh juice and great big smiles, and the check in process took no time at all. Freshly cooked breakfast was hand delivered to our bedroom the next morning and the views were nothing short of breath taking. Only regret is we didn’t stay here longer. Would highly recommend staying at Country Homes - we just loved it!

Pros: - amazing view from balcony - available and really nice staff - breakfast to go when you leave very early (6am) - close from Ella center

Cons: - bad smell in the bathroom

Pros: The best place to stay in Ella. Close to the restaurants and railway station. The staff was totally amazing about their hospitality and helpful. Breakfast was big and different every day. The welcome wine was really tasty!

Pros: The amazing view from the balcony, nice breakfast, kind staff, and walking distance from the village.

Pros: Defenitely one of the best advantages is the view from our room! We slept in a very cosy wooden cabin, everything was clean and we felt instantly at home (even better) aswell our host was very lovely and uncomplicated.d

Pros: The view is unparalleled. We didn’t want to leave when it came time for check out!
