I just enjoyed a very nice 02 night stay with my wife at the beautiful hotel, will definitely be returning back to the same place with family. It was a newly opened hotel, and functioned very well with no issue, the rooms was spacious and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful, food was amazing, the portions sizes were very big. The linen was not as soft, maybe because its still fresh, but overall loved everything.

This place has the most breathtaking panoramic view over Ella and the whole region — truly from another dimension. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, the property is modern and beautifully designed, and everything feels fresh and new. The food was absolutely amazing! One of the very few places where we enjoyed genuinely non-spicy food prepared with so much care and love. The room was comfortable, clean, private, and perfect for relaxing. The staff were incredible — extremely kind, attentive, and always ready to help us with transport arrangements and every question we had. We would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

One of the most unique aspects of the property is its exceptional location near Kithaya Ella, a lesser-known waterfall, which adds a sense of exclusivity. Guests can take a short walk to the waterfall, where they can enjoy the soothing sounds of cascading water while being immersed in nature. The service is personalized and warm, with staff who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable.

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!

Sunrise Mount View is a fantastic place to stay while exploring Ella. The location is peaceful, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and a beautiful sunrise every morning. It's close enough to Ella's main attractions while still offering a quiet escape from the busy town. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. Waking up to the fresh mountain air and scenic views was the highlight of the trip. I highly recommend Sunrise Mount View to anyone visiting Ella. It offers great value, a relaxing atmosphere, and an unforgettable experience.

Our favorite spot was Little Adam’s Peak, which was great for an easy outdoor activity and offered a wonderful view from the top. We ate at Chill Café, a nice, relaxed place with good food. I was impressed by the low cost of the food and drinks. Getting around Ella is very easy; you can move everywhere by tuk‑tuk at a very low cost. There are several family‑friendly activities, including pools, small adventure spots, playgrounds for kids, and even animal farms. Along the way, you can also see birds, monkeys, and other wildlife, which makes it fun for children. But if you love hiking and climbing, this is the place to be. You can easily walk 15 km a day just exploring the surrounding nature.

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 :)

The owner and his family were so kind and helpful to us during our stay! They assisted us with transportation to our activities. The breakfast each day was simple and delicious, we missed it one day due to an activity and the Sir organised it for us once we came back which was incredibly kind! The hotel was a short 10min walk to the busy central town. The hotel had a beautiful rooftop garden area which we enjoyed catching the sunshine facing the incredible Ella Rock! We also loved the cute dog!

What a special place! It’s a luxury to sit on the terrace and enjoy breakfast watching the wild life, monkeys, birds, deers in the jungle The lodge/wooden structures are really nicely made: charming, spacious and comfortable. You hear the outside, be it the restaurant playing music or the frogs making sound. For us it was perfect as it offers an immersive experience in nature and is also close to everything. The service was top and we were really well taken care of.

You can not surpass the views from this property. It is ideally situated near the top of a hill that affords uninterrupted views of Ella gap. The service staff were all very friendly, helpful, and approachable, in particular Ranjith, in the restaurant. Breakfast is plentiful and varied. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom is clean and utilitarian. It's a nice hotel but those views are the star attraction.

The host has been very attentive and nice. It’s a cheap stay for what you get, so don’t expect luxury. It’s a repurposed house, where they sublet rooms, if your plan is to come to Ella, stay out visiting all day and coming back to sleep, this place does the job. Wifi was very good and the room size was good.
