The hotel is perfectly located with a direct view on Ella Rock. It s 5 min walking distance from everything you want in the city center. The service was impeccable and the food very tasty. We loved the breakfast (fresh tea, pancakes, eggs, fruits, sri lankan food as well) and the food in general (curry ordered for dinner was excellent). You can do yoga classes, massages, access the pool, enjoy your balcony. We recommend 100%.

Very beautiful property surrounded completely by nature. The staff was extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms even had a telescope, which was a very unique touch. The location is slightly inside, near the railway station, so reaching it may take a little extra effort, and they only accept cash for payments. But honestly, the overall experience makes it worth it. Breakfast was freshly prepared and very good quality as well.

One of the most unique aspects of the property is its exceptional location near Kithaya Ella, a lesser-known waterfall, which adds a sense of exclusivity. Guests can take a short walk to the waterfall, where they can enjoy the soothing sounds of cascading water while being immersed in nature. The service is personalized and warm, with staff who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable.

Context: I did a safari tour, so spent 12 days in rural areas and in national parks. This part of Sri Lanka I highly recommend. Then I felt it necessary to do some 'cultural touring' on my own in the hill country: Kandy, Nuwarra & Ella. This part of my trip was a waste of time. The scenery surely was interesting, but the entire experience was spoiled by the weight of tourists and the focus on exploiting them. Traffic was unbearable in all three locations. Every point of interest was almost spoiled by tourist traps and touts & souvenir stands etc etc. How disappointing. Even the famous train to Ella was overcrowded and frankly a bit over rated. Ella, like the other places, just spoiled by tourist exploitation: the 'rock show' that surrounds the 'famous' bridge was unexpected, although the path to stroll down there was a nice walk. The walk up to Little Adams Pk was a joke: a virtual gauntlet of Tuks, souvenir stands and speeding four wheel drives; capped off by the most outrageous theme park of a pool resort and 'adventure playground' full of influencers and other shallow, self-indulgent types. Nearly spoiled the walk and view. Not quite, but it was a margin call! I perched myself in a restaurant for dinner overlooking the hellish chaos of Main Street, just marvelling at the tourist trap it's become. That was quite enjoyable. My advice: skip the hill country all together or travel very quickly through it: tourism has thoroughly ruined it.

One of the best cities in Sri Lanka! Nine arch bridge visit- must visit! Lots of souvenir shops, so you’ll definitely find something authentic to bring home. We had dinners in Rainbow cafe, UFO and The Barn - all three places were perfect, tasty food and big portions!

Sunrise Mount View is a fantastic place to stay while exploring Ella. The location is peaceful, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and a beautiful sunrise every morning. It's close enough to Ella's main attractions while still offering a quiet escape from the busy town. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. Waking up to the fresh mountain air and scenic views was the highlight of the trip. I highly recommend Sunrise Mount View to anyone visiting Ella. It offers great value, a relaxing atmosphere, and an unforgettable experience.

Our favorite spot was Little Adam’s Peak, which was great for an easy outdoor activity and offered a wonderful view from the top. We ate at Chill Café, a nice, relaxed place with good food. I was impressed by the low cost of the food and drinks. Getting around Ella is very easy; you can move everywhere by tuk‑tuk at a very low cost. There are several family‑friendly activities, including pools, small adventure spots, playgrounds for kids, and even animal farms. Along the way, you can also see birds, monkeys, and other wildlife, which makes it fun for children. But if you love hiking and climbing, this is the place to be. You can easily walk 15 km a day just exploring the surrounding nature.

We only stayed in Ella for one night, but the hotel, and the family that run it, are amazing. The building is constructed of mainly reclaimed wood and fits into the landscape effortlessly. The room was HUGE and the balcony gave views into the trees where we saw monkeys and countless birds. Breakfast was a feast, even by Sri Lankan standards. And the owner / manager (Laal) was so helpful, kind and generous. This was one of the nicest boutique hotels that I have ever stayed in. Thank you.

A stunning view from the balcony, the breakfast restaurant and the bar. Rooms were large and clean as were the balconies. Excellent (sri lankan) breakfast, which differed at bit every day. A quiet location outside main Ella, but easy to reach by tuk-tuk. (approx 800 rupies). Very friendly and attending staff. Its a small hotel with homestay wibes. Music from bar and poolroom as well as kitchen noise stops at 10pm. Close to other restaurants and the Ella Rock trail.

Stunning view, amazing hosts and great breakfast! 5 mins by Tuk tuk from the Main Street in Ella where all the restaurants and shops are located. A great point to start all your experiences while in Ella. The host and the entire family are a gem and I highly recommend a dinner there! You can ask to cook with the mum and learn the real Sri Lanka cuisine! Room clean , hot water and comfortable bed. Do not expect anything luxury but a REAL experience!

Waking up the the sun rise with Adams Peak and Ella rock as the backdrop was STUNNING….this was the view from bed/looking out from the balcony. Staff super friendly, we rented a scooter too which was prefect to explore Ella for 3 days. They also helped us with transport to our next destination. Amazing value for money and nice to have a hotel room after lots of hostels…a bit of luxury!
