We had a perfect stay at Iddyl Cottage Ella! Everything was perfect: the room was very clean and comfortable, and the view from the terrace was simply breathtaking. The staff was very kind and attentive. They went above and beyond to make our stay easy and enjoyable, helping us with tuk-tuks, organizing excursions, arranging taxis, giving restaurant recommendations, and even assisting with small needs like adapters or bottled water. The homemade breakfast was delicious and very generous! Served on the terrace of our room, it was a real treat every morning. This accommodation was the highlight of our trip to Ella, and we can’t recommend it enough!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and everything was spotless. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure every need was met.

The location was super close to the city. (4min by walk to the main street and restaurants. So super practical when it’s raining! The staff was super super nice. They even have a laundry service that is useful if you travel light. The breakfast was amazing and they can adapt when you need to take it. (coming from a french person that the greatest compliment:) ) Even the nice decorated room itself had everything you need : a good hairdryer, tea stuff, fridge, qtips, warm blankets and AC, even a small light when the city is running out of electricity.

I did not like Ella.

I did not like Ella. Too touristy, too expensive, maybe if it had been sunny, it would have been different. For people who are used to traveling, for people above 50 yo, there are other places to go.

One of the best little towns to spend a quiet holiday. Ambience and the vibe is great and it never fails to amaze me. There are so many places to see and one trip is never enough as there are man hidden gems to discover. I have been there over 5-6 times but I think there are more places for me to discover. Food is great and people are very friendly.

Vibrant high street with lots of restaurants bars and local shops. Places of interest mini Adam’s peak and 8 Arches bridge. Mainly tourists therefore prices were a little high. However worth a visit and ease of access to other places of interest. Easy to get around walking

We arrived in Ella via a different route than many ( from the west coast) due to weather impacting our plans. We’d experienced real’ Sri Lanka in Negombo, Bentota and Haputale, and on our journey in to the hills through Ratnapura. If we’re honest, arriving in Ella felt like arriving in a European holiday resort. It lacked authenticity and burgers and pizzas are all the thing. Take your time to seek out the Sri Lankan restaurants to get a true experience. Having said that the tourist sights were impressive - even if they were over run with instagrammers!

Ella is a small busy town we stayed 5 mins out at the tip top hotel where you could see the nine arches bridge We could walk down to the train line although a goats track it was still a great way to walk into Ella following the train line Highly recommend to eat at Mateys Hut best food and great value for money Don’t forget to include little Adam’s peak and stop at 98 acres pool club on your way back for a cocktail

If you are into luxury stays and instagram quality rooms this place is not for you. This place is.very affordable, cosy, family run house that is directly in the city of Ella. Rooms are adequate with.ensuite in all three rooms. Large fridge is available. Sudha, the owner, is lovely and spent time to chat with us. She is.very friendly and helpful and also prepares the awesome breakfasts we had. It is a two minute walk to the centre and four minutes to the train station. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous cabins just outside Ella town for an excellent price. Staff and owner are amazing and so kind - they catered to our every need and took good care of us. The views are stunning, the cabins have every luxury you need (including Netflix!) and we loved the private pool and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was also delicious!

Lovely boutique hotel, set on the side of a hill, quite a few steps to our room but worth it for the views. Set a little outside Ella but just a short tuktuks ride. We had dinner in the hotel both of our nights and the food was exceptional. Staff all friendly and helpful.
