Hotel Onrock, hotel in Ella

Offering a restaurant, Hotel Onrock is located just 1312 feet from the Ella Railway Station. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a work desk and flat-screen TV.

The photos are real! Headline pictures are so often the very best of the best and not reflective of an average experience, but these are - the hotel was spotless and really well appointed (and busy - which says a lot given the off season). Fantastic location, with unbelievable views from our balcony. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were really helpful and genuinely interested in what we were doing. The reception manager was a really fun guy, and we shared a passion for similar music so I now have several new bands to sample! Definitely a 10/10.

The residence was super nice! Thimira was such a wonderful host and was so friendly, smiley and helpful. Easily one of the nicest people we met while staying in Sri Lanka. The room was super spacious and had a gorgeous terrace where we had breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was very nice too. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Ella Forest Paradise Hotel, hotel in Ella

Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, Ella Forest Paradise Hotel offers free Wi-Fi and houses a restaurant – Crazy Horse, which serves local Sri Lankan cuisine.

This hotel is so beautiful and incredible value for money. They greeted us with fresh juices and brought us to our room with a nice view over the town. The room was spacious and clean. There were a few ants on the wall but that is to be expected for a hotel in the middle of the forest. Pool was nice to cool off in and the pool table was lots of fun. Staff were all very kind and helpful.

Ella Planters Bungalow, hotel in Ella

Offering an outdoor swimming pool, Planters Bunglow is an boutique style eco friendly property located in Ella. Free WiFi access is available in the public areas of the property.

Excellent staff and service from the team. We had a driver already so the trip to Ella was not so far. The property had incredible views of the local valley and the fireflies dancing at the windows in the evening were a true highlight for our young daughters. Great reception and breakfast at the outdoor dining area with lovely views and welcome drinks.

    I recently visited Ella in Sri Lanka and had a wonderful experience. The views from Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak were breathtaking. The town had a relaxed vibe with charming cafes and shops. I enjoyed hiking to Ravana Falls and taking a train ride through the tea plantations. Ella is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

    Ella is a tourist town, so many of the activities and services are geared for tourists. The variety of restaurants is wide with options from around the world. Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area. Hotels can also provide information about the local attractions as many are within easy walking distance.

    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    Little Folly is in a perfect location to Ella, the hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, the hotel has a really lovely little rooftop area to chill out in the evening and it's incredibly peaceful. The room was clean with a terrace area to sit out on. Unfortunately during our stay it was heavily raining so didn't get to enjoy this but I can imagine it would be relaxing in the dry weather. The cake was amazing too!

    Beautiful boutique hotel overlooking the hills of Ella. The room and balcony were stunning, food was excellent and service was faultless. Location is a little far from Ella (but short tuk tuk away) but you have little Adams peak and 9 Arches Bridge on your door step which are the primary attractions around Ella.

    An incredible stay! This is more of a boutique hotel with a personal touch, run by a lovely family who couldn’t do enough for us. The location, right by the waterfall, is stunning and we highly recommend the cooking class with Champi. Easily the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka.
