I recently stayed at this budget-friendly hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the value for money. We received a warm welcome on arrival, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We booked a family room which was very clean, with comfortable beds and pillows that made for a good night’s sleep. The bathroom was also clean, though the only minor issue was the water temperature in the shower, which could be a bit tricky. Bottled water was provided in the room, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was served outside on the patio, with a simple but satisfying choice of omelette or eggs, along with toast and fresh fruit. The hotel is in a quiet side street but still close to the town centre, with a great restaurant on the corner. It’s also in a perfect spot for sightseeing – the famous Nine Arch Bridge is only about a 15-minute walk away. Overall, this is a very reasonable option for the price you pay – clean, comfortable, and well-located, with helpful staff who make you feel welcome.

Lovely beautiful and peaceful location with wonderful views and lovely rooms. Was wonderful to wake up to and ate breakfast on the balcony admiring the hills. Ella is very busy and planters bungalow is in a much more chilled location, so glad we stayed here instead! Food was lovely too. A great experience.

    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.

    It's an amazing town to be in.

    It's an amazing town to be in. I admire the way everyone makes sure that the town is clean and secure for anyone visiting. If you want to know how good the food is, look at the dogs on the street. They are an attraction in itself! It is definitely a happening place and everyone should visit Ella at least twice a year! If you are visiting the Nine Arch Bridge, beware of the Tuk Tuk drivers who try to "take you for a ride!"

    We had an unforgettable stay in Ella!

    We had an unforgettable stay in Ella! Our favorite spots were Little Adam’s Peak, the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, and the stunning Ravana Falls — each offering breathtaking views and peaceful moments surrounded by nature. We enjoyed delicious meals at local restaurants, sampling authentic Sri Lankan dishes and fresh fruit juices that really brought the flavors of the region to life. Getting around was super easy and fun thanks to renting a scooter. It gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace and discover hidden gems around town. Ella is the perfect getaway for couples looking for adventure, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing atmosphere.

    The scenery is amazing, weather was very pleasant, we visited the waterfalls and 9 arch bridge. A Buddhist temple. Lots to see if you have the time. The town has lost it’s beauty crawling with back packers and tourist. It’s better to stay out of town and do a day trip to the town. We had a delicious meal at cafe chill. Highly recommend visiting Ella and eating at Cafe Chill

    Do not miss Ella! Ella is such an awesome place for families! We spent 4 nights there but could have stayed another couple of nights. Our favourite cafes were Rainbow Cafe for delicious smoothie bowls and Honey Bee Restaurant for authentic Sri Lankan food and juices at a reasonable price.

    Lovely hotel. Staff were so lovely and welcoming and made us feel so special. They were so lovely with my son. Room was clean and comfortable, with incredible views overlooking Ella’s rock and Little Adam’s Peak. Food was really good too, we had dinner and breakfast and everything was cooked fresh for us by the lovely chefs. Perfect location for exploring Ella! We chose to get tuktuks as didn’t want to walk up the hill but they are super cheap. Ella has so much to offer, I wish we had longer. Would definitely recommend.

    Gorgeous location and absolutely beautiful buildings. Incredible wildlife; we saw beautiful endemic birds, a lemur and a small wild cat of some kind. Hotel manager was so kind and patient and the breakfasts were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Top tip, ask him to put you in touch with Sugala, a brilliant tuktuk driver - super reasonable and lovely bloke. Also close to a set of stairs for a challenging but unique entrance to Ella Rock!
