Literally we loved everything in this charming hotel.

The staff is very professional and polite, the rooms were super comfortable and clean, and the location is perfect in the heart of Ella. Not to forget the breakfast that was delicious with generous portions.

Ella Flower Garden Resort, hotel in Ella

Overlooking panoramic mountain views, Ella Flower Garden Resort is nestled in Ella. Rooms are equipped with a spacious private balcony and free WiFi access is available at all public areas.

The views from the hotel are spectacular. The flower garden is very pretty. Our room was spacious and clean. We had dinner at the plate which was very good. Service and hospitality from Lalith was excellent he was knowledgeable and friendly. Same for breakfast in the morning. Breakfast gets busy with people who have just hiked mini Adams peak. It’s right at the bottom of the trail and a good location for this. Overall it’s a great hotel with great staff. Maybe a little overpriced compared to other comparable hotels. But still great.

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery. Loved arriving here with the train, meeting other travellers and eating plenty of delicious food :) Will come back soon, next time for longer because there is so much more to see.

    Ella is a chilled laid back kind of place like Bali used to be, However the TukTuk Mafia are despicable rude, price gouging and trying to rip off every tourist. If you go to Ella take your own transport. You can rent your own TukTuks and Scooters. I encourage people to use Uber andPickme it works in Colombo. Honest TukTuk drivers are bullied in Ella As well as other tourist hubs in Sri Lanka.

    Good starting place for visiting the mountain area of the country. Downtown noisy and inundated with tourists. Those who want a quieter but equally stunning settling but somewhat more limited in amenities may do better staying in a smaller and nearby setting. If you are taking the amazing train ride, do so ‘backwards’ and start in Ella area.

    Nice Nature, but very touristic city center.

    Nice Nature, but very touristic city center. Ella Rock walk is great, but you can leave out the entrance fee to the top - the view during the walk is way better, and the top can be very crowded. Little Adams Peak has a nice view on top, but the whole way is full of people who want to sell you stuff & a lot of tuktuks cross you while you are walking. That’s not really enjoyable. The Zip Line there is also overrated and expensive, wound not recommend that. Walking at the train tracks was a great experience. And explore the restaurants in the city, don’t go in the overcrowded places. I was at the Lion restaurant, which has great service, an amazing view(!) and really good food.

    Unfortunately Ella which is a lovely spot with beautiful views and nature has been spoilt by too many people. Very overdeveloped and what used to be pleasant country walks are now crowded with people. On a positive side there are lots of facilities including a Zip Line.

    Nice place in the mountains, but town itself is a tourist trash. You can find nice restaurants, tourist shops ... along loud bars and drunk and trashed tourists. Dont stay on the main street, rather take a calm place with views on a hill. Nature around is amazing, take a climb to the Ella rock, visit one of many tea factories in the area.

    The most beautiful views!!! Wow. The staff are also very sweet. Breakfast was delicious. The room itself is clean and has really nice timber furniture. There’s so many monkeys that hang out in the tree next to the verander and it was fun watching them :) You could walk into town if you really wanted to, however you’ll likely need a tuk tuk. The hotel organised the tuk tuk for us on our first day and we kept the drivers number as he was nice and cheap compared to others :) Ella town itself is so nice! Many restaurants to choose from.

    The host, Chanaka, made sure we had the perfect stay in beautiful Ella. It's a relatively new place and is still a work-in-progress, but despite that we had a pretty cozy 2-night stay. Since the hotel is a little downhill from the main road, free tuktuk service is available on call to the main road. The room had hot water available along with oven, mini fridge and electric kettle to make the stay even more comfortable. Last but not the least, the view from the room was breathtaking!

Staff were super friendly and accommodative. Breakfast was top notch and we felt very relaxed though we were only passing by.

    The location right inside a tea plantation, and Ella Rock view from the bedroom are priceless. You can have access to Little Adam’s Peak, the Flying Swing, and the Zip Line within minutes right from the hotel, which made us save a lot of time and benefit from a discount on activities. The room was very clean, and the staff were helpful. Breakfast was great in terms of variety and taste.
