This was one of my favourite accommodations in Sri Lanka. The room and the balcony were very beautiful and comfortable. But the best part was the incredibly nice and thoughtful hosts, who were always available to help and make sure the stay is as comfortable as possible. And not to forget the amazing food! Breakfast was massive and delicious, and I had one of my best meals in Sri Lanka for dinner. It is located right on the main road, which makes it very accessible, but you can hear the vehicles passing. It is about 20min walk or short Tuktuk (which the hosts will be happy to help organize) to the center. I would stay again if I ever come back!

From

The entirely wooden home was an amazing sight and the view was even better. We arrived in the evening and woke up to a spectacular sight hearing the river/waterfalls down below. Absolutely stunning. The family that runs Wood Palace is amazing and has been great in accommodating us with anything we needed during our stay, first making arrangements for me as I was planning to propose to my girlfriend and later whilst our son got sick. The amazing starry nights from the balcony and fireflies lighting up the view topped it off. It’s located a little outside of Ella (5min drive) which made it very peaceful and quiet. The owner has a TukTuk and can bring you anywhere you need very quickly. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a very memorable stay

Really nice homestay!! Great location! It’s downtown Ella but away from the main road in the nature so it’s quiet and peaceful! 3 min walking to the main road by the shortcut.The garden and patio are beautiful. Breakfast is really good and big! The owner and his wife are so welcoming and generous, always ready to help and making sure we have everything we need. I recommend this homestay!

Fernando (the guy who takes care of the property and helps you out with everything you need) is a great guy with a good heart. The location is in the jungle with a great view and great sounds of nature. Not the best place for those who wanna go out for party (it takes about 12min by car from Ella to get there) but the best place to stay, relax, enjoy the nature and so on. Everything is clean and nice made. Great location and great property. Bis thanks to Fernando!!

We just loved our stay at Downtown’s! The place is simple but nice and clean. The location is perfect, just a 3 minute walk from the train station. Shehan is the most helpful host you can imagine - he did a very spontaneous cooking class with us (the food was SO good) and even organised a Safari in Udawalawe and transport to the south coast for such a good price! If you’re in Ella this is the place to stay (:

Had a lovely stay at Ella Alpine Resort. The hotel is situated above the Ella town and has probably one of the best locations for scenery in Ella, with a spectacular view of Ella Rock and directly opposite "Flying Ravana" The rooms were very spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were also extremely polite and accommodating. I'll definitely stay here the next time I'm in Ella.

Royal Mount Ella is a perfect place to stay in Ella. It is away from the city center with a gorgeous view of Ella Rock. The train tracks are close enough by to enjoy, yet the trains were quiet enough that we weren't woken up by them. I cannot say enough about the family that run this place. They helped us with rides, tours, and provided us with fantastic breakfasts and dinners. Boy, can the mom cook! Our room was clean, comfortable, and decorative with a beautiful view and balcony.
