The host was great, he didn't even ask for anything and drove us everywhere, he wanted us to experience the best for the short amount of time that we were staying there. The location is in the forest with an amazing watetfall view, even though it's up on the mountain, we could still get to the city and the main street relatively fast. All the tourism objects were nearby, we could access everything easily. They have their food, the breakfast was included and very tasty. The dinner was for a reasonable price, homemade, deliceous. I recommend this place

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

The view was amazing! You can see Little Adam's peak and Ravana falls. The breakfast was yummy and changed daily (omelette, hoppers, crepes, rotti, fresh fruit, egg toasted sandwich (jaffles), juice, tea and coffee). The rooms were spacious, clean and really nice shower with good pressure and plenty of hot water. Elevator was convenient for luggage. We stayed in the luxury room, howeve, can't say what the cheaper rooms were like. Quiet (no noisy busses). Breakfast ladies were lovely and helpful :)

I had an amazing stay at Nest of Peak in Ella! The hotel offers great service, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure guests feel comfortable. The location is perfect, with beautiful views and easy access to Ella’s top attractions. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and cozy, providing a relaxing stay. For the price, it’s definitely worth the money—you get great hospitality, comfort, and a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ella!
