Amazing ambiance - such lovely and cozy rooms! Very modern an extremely clean. Location may be a bit tricky without car/tuktuk, but it is in such a calm place that it makes up for it. Lovely breakfast choices of either Sri Lankan food or continental breakfast. The hosts are very helpful and willing to arrange anything that is needed.

The view from the balcony is amazing. It is lovely to watch all the action down below on the 9 arches bridge. It is a little remote but there is a great little cafe run by the same family just below the cabin for some food and drinks, if you don't want to go into town for dinner. Also the owner is extremely helpful, thoughtful and he will pick you up from the train take you into town and pick you up anytime. He is lovely and as a solo traveller, it felt completely safe there. Also I had an early pick up for a tour at 5.15am and the owner made sure that I rearranged an alternative pick up point because cars cannot access the cabin, only tuk tuks. He then took me at 5.00am to the meet up point in his tuku tuk and also packed me a breakfast. At the end of my stay he arranged for a car to take me to Mirissa for a good price. On my second day I was there for breakfast and it was fantastic. I totally recommend this cabin if you want to stay out of Ella town and have an incredible view of nature and the bridge.

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    Very friendly and vibrant town.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Ella is a small town with breathtaking views and well organized place for tourists, If you are a nature lover and looking for a good quality time of enjoying hikes / mountains / zip lines / pictures with your family for a good prize , Ella is the place. Very safe for solo travelers too. Don't expect 5 stay luxury restaurants / high class bars etc. Lots of sign boards around guiding tourists to select the places they like to visit. Tuk tuk prizes are fixed for most places. don't forget to take a dip in fresh waters Ella offers in high mountain water falls.

    Walking to Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak are well worth it, as was walking to nine arch bridge to see the train coming across it with tourists either side of the tracks. We wished we had another day or so, as wanted to visit a tea factory and take a guided hike in the surrounding countryside.

    Staying at Crystal Springs Luxury Hotel, Ella has been an unforgettable experience. The view from the room was absolutely magical waking up to misty mountains and peaceful greenery felt like a dream. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a warm smile. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and truly lived up to the "luxury" in the name. Thank you for making our stay so special we’ll definitely be coming back!

    Staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful, always offered to drive us down the hill to the town. Amazing views from all aspects of this hotel. From showering overlooking trees to the rooftop bar with views of Ella rock. Bed was very comfortable. Restaurant on site with some tasty options and 2 hours of 241 cocktails. We preordered our breakfast and it came out promptly for the time we stated. They also came and collected us from the train station ☺️

    We absolutely loved our stay at nine arch gap. It’s a lovely family run hotel with unbelievable views over nine arch bridge. It’s a little out of Ella town, but this isn’t a problem because the views are worth it and the owners offer a Tuktuk service for a small fee. We stayed in multiple places around Sri Lanka during our trip and this by far had the best views. The family are lovely people with a gorgeous dog to top it 🥰
