Amazing hotel with stunning views ! We came here for our honeymoon and the place is like a hidden gem in the mountains ! The pool area and the restaurant were our favorite spots because of the views! The staff were very attentive, they even do the laundry free of charge. The rooms were beautiful and clean. The hotel is close to downtown, if you need a taxi or Tuk tuk they order it for you. We love staying here and would love to come back .

What a stunning location and such a friendly and kind family! The rooms are absolutely stunning and the location genuinely unbeatable. You do have to be prepared to walk up and down a large flight of stairs to benefit from that beauty but it is totally worth it. The hosting family were extremely helpful, kind and thoughtful. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to any traveller looking for somewhere off the beaten track!

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.

Loved everything! Room was so cute and decent! Totally worth the price!

This is an exceptional accommodation option in Ella! Not only it has nice & clean room, excellent view but the owner is the person who’d make your stay! willing to help with everything, pick you up or drive within Ella in his tuktuk or even wake up in the morning with you to drive you to Little Adam’s peak for sunrise. And icing on the cake is the huge breakfast served right at your patio full of fresh fruits, local meals and hot coffee. We weren’t even able to finish it all :( Even though the accommodation is located a little bit further from Ella’s main street, thanks to the owner’s perfect care we didn’t even noticed. Thank you and hope to come back soon! 💚

Ella is a beautiful place for hiking and scenic views.

Ella is a beautiful place for hiking and scenic views. We prefer less crowded places which you can get here once you’re out walking, but the main strip here is over developed and too noisy, with loads of bars souvenir shops etc, Some people might love it, but the traffic pollution in the Main Street is quite bad too, I guess it’s only going to get worse over the years as you can see the new buildings going up everywhere where there’s a spare piece of land. However, despite this, I’d still return as it’s so beautiful, just stay as far away as you can from the main strip! The hikes here are incredible, enjoy exploring them Cool place to eat next to the train track on waterfall road, up the hill with tasty food, cheaper prices, good vibes and plays reggae music,

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.

This hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. And we got very lucky to actually discover it, after not-so impressive stay at another location in Ella. Our top floor penthouse offered unparalelled views on the valley and nearby falls, worth every penny. Our room was brand new, tasteful, comfy and very clean. Breakfast was a real delight, and one would love to sip coffee for long hours while seating on the terrace. Hotel staff was very helpful, they truly wanted to make our stay memorable and went extra mile to take good care of us.

Beautiful boutique hotel overlooking the hills of Ella. The room and balcony were stunning, food was excellent and service was faultless. Location is a little far from Ella (but short tuk tuk away) but you have little Adams peak and 9 Arches Bridge on your door step which are the primary attractions around Ella.
