clean, spacious, astonishing views, really good and huge space and very calm It is about seven km away from Ella city center with one bus going there every hour (TukTuk is about 1.000 Rps per Ride)- so concider this if you plan to explore Ella and the rocks and waterfalls from the accomodation

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! 💚

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.

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.

The view was amazing! You can see Little Adam's peak and Ravana falls. The breakfast was yummy and changed daily (omelette, hoppers, crepes, rotti, fresh fruit, egg toasted sandwich (jaffles), juice, tea and coffee). The rooms were spacious, clean and really nice shower with good pressure and plenty of hot water. Elevator was convenient for luggage. We stayed in the luxury room, howeve, can't say what the cheaper rooms were like. Quiet (no noisy busses). Breakfast ladies were lovely and helpful :)

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!

Although it's not located in the city center, it's right at one of the train station stops. Following the tracks, you can get to the city in a 25-minute straight line, with views and all kinds of animals to boot. The hotel owner also has his own tuk-tuk and offers to pick you up and take you on a tour of Ella at the best price. The breakfasts are delicious. And, without a doubt, the best value for money.

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.
