The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

What an amazing place to stay! The sunrises are out of this world! The rooms were big and I was worried about the lack of AC but slept just fine with the fan. The breakfast was delicious (I do feel that it should have been included in the price of the stay.) And the fact that they had a tuktuk to take us up to the main road anytime we wanted was great. You can walk the railroad tracks into town in about 20-25 minutes.

The place is in a rather unique location, not easily accessed, but grants a great view. The room has a comfortable terrace with a kitchenette, which could be great for long stays - ask the host about the gas stove though. A lot of nature around. Great breakfast, efficient communication on WhatsApp.

The family room was great! Two stories, both balconies (up and down) have a lovely veiw. Excellent bed with the best soft linen, good shower, everything so comfortable. Great breakfast served to the balcony with a choice of western or Sri Lankan. The manager was so nice and did everything he could to help. Nice and quiet, but close to the center. We recommend it!

The absolutely perfect place for couples! High above the bustle of town, this stand-alone cottage with a private patio set in a lush garden is a mountain oasis. A/c is not needed due to the elevation and fans both inside and outside. Although a solid 30 minute walk from town its worth the peace and quiet and the walk is easy mitigated by renting a scooter (which I strongly suggest) or, if you are uncomfortable with a scooter the host can arrange a prompt and inexpensive tuk tuk. The breakfast is delicious and varied and the host is super responsive and gracious. A bonus is one can start the hike to Ella Rock from the doorstep of the property (+/- 3 hours). My advice is to absolutely stay more than one night!

The view from the cottages is breathtaking. You can see the sunrise, a lot of chipmunks, peacocks and it's just absolutely beautiful. It is right next to the train line where all people walk when they want to get to Ella rock. The host was the most accommodating and kindest one we've met so far. The hotel is a bit further from the main street, so a tuk-tuk is needed to get there and he came to pick us up. He dropped us even a couple of times free of charge for no reason at all. Breakfast was delicious and the room was very clean and cozy. Our host was so kind and nice, best customer service! We loved our stay at the Ella 100 view cottages and we recommend! :)

    This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.
