Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area.

    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery.

    Lovely stay at W1 Ella, hosts were fantastic and very accommodating. The views from the veranda were stunning too! Very comfy beds and good facilities. Also huge breakfasts! You can walk to Ella Rock from here, along the train track and also into town. Lots of bars, restaurants etc close by, around a 15-20 minute walk. Make sure you have more than just flip flops with you. Beware, the road leading up to the hotel is not suitable for any cars. You can rent mopeds or a tuk tuk will take you up there but definitely don’t drive a car!

    While we didn’t have the best weather in Ella, it was worth coming for the view from the hotel and the staff’s hospitality alone. We had the smaller room with no view but they let us use the kitchen and the top floor balcony which had the BEST view. They also did our laundry for a good price (cheaper than in town). The breakfasts were also great. You can walk to Ella main street in maybe 10-15 minutes from the hotel. Nine arches bridge and little Adam’s peak are also within a reasonable distance.

    Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.

    We love the jungle setting that is just 10mins walk to the town. The sound of nature surrounds the property. The place is so well designed and decorated that it's more like a upmarket boutique hotel than a homestay. There are even 2 indoor swings in the common lounge. The provision of a kettle and a fridge in the common lounge is very thoughtful. The host Angelo was very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

    Clean and comfortable room, good bathroom, good location, reasonable price. The owner was friendly. He helped me find a luxury AC bus to Colombo and booked a seat on it for me, which I would never be able to find. He even accompanied me to the bus stop, waited with me, and helped me find the bus and get on it. Finding the bus would also probably not be possible for me.
