I got a comfortable room. I have stayed for one night. I love the location of the place. But the location is somewhat outside from the busy Ella town. But anyone can work to Ella through railway track. As a low budget traveller, the place is perfect. The staff is very kind and supportive. They supported me before the arrival, during my stay and after the check out. Don't need to worry to select this place for your stay. Thank you.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Floor Garden Ella. The property has a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere and is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the charm of Ella. A very special thank you to Mr. Camilus and Mr. Raj, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality really stood out. In fact, the entire team deserves recognition—everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. The service was excellent, the accommodation was comfortable and well maintained, and we truly felt looked after throughout our stay. Thank you, Mr. Camilus, Mr. Raj, and the whole Floor Garden Ella team for making our visit so enjoyable. Exceptional hospitality and a truly memorable stay. Highly recommended!

Tiny cosy town. Prepare for a little cold too. Have gone so many times but never enough. Early morning are best for views and hikes. Night life is good too. Ella 360 is expensive but great ambience and good food. The souvenir shops have a bit too expensive stuff, yet good items are available.

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!

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!

We stayed in Ella Trail Luxury Villas for 2 nights. It was a wonderful stay with Asanka and the team. The room was clean and large with a lovely bathroom. The location and view from the rooms is stunning as you look across the hills. The breakfast and dinner was really tasty and very reasonably price. The location is outside of Ella town therefore does require a tuk-tuk to travel in and out of. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

It is indeed a paradise! The terrace with the view is stunning! This was the best breakfast we had in 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and we stayed in way more luxury places too. The room is comfortable and clean and you have airconditioning, something rare in Ella. And the host Shan is amazing! He gave us great tips and arranged everything for us. Always responsive, the tuk tuk available, he made our stay! Thank you so much Shan!

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.
