Lovely large bright room with floor to ceiling windows looking out across a valley. Great shower and comfortable bed. The hosts very kind and helpful. Location was good for stages 13 and 14 combined of the pekoe trail. It’s a 15min walk to Heel Oya rail station and from there you can get the early train to the start of stage 13 at Haputale. Stage 14 ends at Makulella and from there it’s a short tuk tuk ride back to the hotel.

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.

I had a really wonderful experience in Ella. The room was perfectly clean and everything felt new. Bed linen and mattress are hotel level. There’s a balcony with a view of jungle and mountains, sometimes you can see monkeys and mongooses from it. The location is very calm but at the same time just short walk away from good restaurants, also tuk tuks to the Ella are cheap and fast. Duzi is a great host, very attentive and professional, he showed me Ellas main attractions, and always made sure that I was doing well. Could not recommend enough!

The hotel is new, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The rooftop pool is nice with a good view of Ella Rock. The staff are wonderfull, and were available to help with everything I needed. Especially Ajey helped me feel welcome and gave me his personal phone number to communicate comfortably if I need anything. And even helped me find a room when I wanted to stay longer and the hotel was fully booked.

This hotel boasts an absolutely fantastic location (although high up a hill), making it easy to explore the area and not far from the Ella Rock hiking trail starting point. The entire property was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. To top it off, the breakfast provided was truly excellent and a great start to the day.
