Amazing hotel with stunning views ! We came here for our honeymoon and the place is like a hidden gem in the mountains ! The pool area and the restaurant were our favorite spots because of the views! The staff were very attentive, they even do the laundry free of charge. The rooms were beautiful and clean. The hotel is close to downtown, if you need a taxi or Tuk tuk they order it for you. We love staying here and would love to come back .

A wonderful place — the view from the room will stay with us for a long time. The staff are extremely helpful and always ready to assist with whatever you need. Access to the property is only possible by tuk-tuk, and the road can be a bit intimidating the first time, but the driver is very experienced. With each ride you get used to it — and it’s absolutely worth it, as the location is truly picturesque. In previous reviews I saw comments about a lack of hot water — there is hot water, you just need to reduce the water pressure. Thank you for a beautiful time

We got stranded in the jungle with the owners during Ditwah cyclone and they have not thrown us out, but instead took care of us and ensured we remain safe by allowing us to extend our stay for additional 3 nights. They are ready to help with anything you might need. - We have stayed in the wooden cottage and the views are beautiful. - The size of the cottage is spacious. - The hotel is not in Ella city center but the host offers tuk tuk service to take and pick you up whenever necessary (ca. 5min to get there) - The breakfast includes toast, jam, butter, fresh local fruits they have grown themselves, pancakes, jogurt, coffee/tea.

I had a wonderful stay at Idyll Cottage Ella! The bed was very comfortable, and the location offered an incredible view that made our experience even more special. Dashana, our host, was exceptionally helpful and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

The room was clean, spacious, very well equipped and close to Ella center, but in a quiet area. The breakfast was big delicious, it is a putty we could not eat all. One day we tried the Sri Lankan breakfast and it was delicious (spicy, but this means traditional here). Also, the host was very nice and willing to help us with train tickets for Kandy, with taxi for Tangalle. They also have a laundry service at the property which is very good rated (Obey laundry service in Ella). We used it and we liked it, really recommended.

Three amazing nights at Senu and his family's. The view of the waterfall and the mountain is beautiful, the accommodation is in a perfect location for Ella Rock hiking and to reach the town of Ella on foot by following the tracks. Senu is always attentive and available. Breakfast in the morning was both hearty and delicious. If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I would! Thanks again

Ella is a pictursque town with a lot of attractions around.

Ella is a pictursque town with a lot of attractions around. The very famous Nine Arches Bridge was a great place to spend few hours. The visit ti the Ravana Cave needs a climb of about 700+ steps - but worth it. The Ravana Falls was also pretty good. The main City road has a lot of restaurants and shops for purchasing Sri Lankan Tea and other Souvenirs. The train ride from Ambewela to Ella was scenic and excellent (please sit on the left side for everlating views)! Getting around Ella is also very easy with lot of Tuk-Tuks! Ride in one of them for an unique experience!! Ella is a must visit place in Sri Lanka in my opinion!!

A trip to Ella is a highlight of any Sri Lanka itinerary, offering a blend of misty mountain air and lush tea plantations. For the ultimate experience, a hike up Little Adam’s Peak at sunrise or a visit to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge is a must. When it comes to accommodation, ‘All Joys Ella’ Guest House is the best place to stay in Ella. Renowned for its exceptional hospitality and breathtaking mountain views, it feels like a home away from home. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay, making it the ideal base for your adventures.

The city i liked the most in sri lanka. Refreshing views, enjoyable hiking, sweet people and not too expensive or crowded compared to the south. There are diverse activities like discovering a tea factory, temple on the mountains, cooking classes, massages, yoga etc.. And the people are so nice! Easy to get aroud since everything is quite concentrated + tuk tuks everywhere. I recommend eating local but there are some fun european like food options too ( trap sometimes though).

A naturally beautiful place spoilt by tacky shops,bars and tourists. Didn't help that it was grey and damp. The station is lovely and the short ride to Badulla worth it. The tea factory visit overpriced but if you get the right guide, worth it. Tuk tuks here are a rip off.

The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay at the hotel. We were greeted with smiles everyday and help on what best places we should visit while in Ella, we were given a superb breakfast every single morning and were always checked on to ensure we were comfortable and if there was anything we needed. The most amazing people here at Tunnel Top Inn & would 100% stay here again and recommend anyone to come here as it exceptional.

The hotel is new, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The rooftop pool is nice with a good view of Ella Rock. The staff are wonderfull, and were available to help with everything I needed. Especially Ajey helped me feel welcome and gave me his personal phone number to communicate comfortably if I need anything. And even helped me find a room when I wanted to stay longer and the hotel was fully booked.

Although it's not located in the city center, it's right at one of the train station stops. Following the tracks, you can get to the city in a 25-minute straight line, with views and all kinds of animals to boot. The hotel owner also has his own tuk-tuk and offers to pick you up and take you on a tour of Ella at the best price. The breakfasts are delicious. And, without a doubt, the best value for money.
