The hotel was beautiful. We loved the infinity pool. The walkway to your room is so pretty with flowers hanging down. It’s a great spot to take pictures. The breakfast is great as well. We woke up earlier than when breakfast started and they rushed to get it ready for us. I would definitely stay again!

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%.

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!

This place was exceptional! It’s run by a family and they make sure you have everything you need. The whole property including the room and the bathroom were very clean and spacious. Obey, the gentleman who runs the place gave us recommendations of places to have dinner. He even looked after me by getting me some medicine from the shop as o wasn’t feeling too well. I must also add that the breakfast was so delicious, the best breakfast we’ve had in our 5 day road trip. We requested the local breakfast instead of the western breakfast. So, all in all, we had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at Ella Forest Paradise hotel. The location is central yet not on the main road. The staff was friendly and attentive and they helped us organise our drive to our next destination on the south with a comfortable car and nice stops on the road. The room was equipped with warm blankets during our stay (it was around 16 degrees at night).
