One of the most amazing places I've ever been (and I've been to a lot of places :-)) Close to the centre of Ella, but in the countryside. Beautiful location, you can just lie in the hammock and calmly watch Little Adam's Peak, Ella Rock and waterfall. Swim in the pool, get a massage, have a wonderful dinner, a perfect breakfast and go hiking around Ella.

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.

    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.

    98 Acres Resort is located in an idyllic setting amongst the lush mountainous region of Ella. The view from our villa, and especially from reception, is spectacular. When we checked into the hotel, there was a lovely Hindu welcome ceremony. The villa itself was quite comfortable but I would not say that it was luxurious. Even though 98 Acres Resort is set in a fairly remote region, our villa had no problem with hot water or the shower’s water pressure. Breakfast was good with ample offerings.

    An excellent boutique accommodation at Ella. It is nestled in the middle of a tea estate. 20 minutes drive from Ella. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful 180° view from room balcony including Ella Waterfall. Manager Lahiru and his team of staff look after every guests' needs. All rooms come with tea, coffee making facilities, and bathroom toiletteries are provided. The infinity pool is located on top of a hill. It's absolutely stunning. Anyone can spend the whole day. Highly recommended.

    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 🥰
