Mountain Heavens, hotel in Ella

Overlooking scenic nature, Mountain Heavens offers modern and tranquil accommodation with free WiFi access in its public areas.

Our stay at Mountain Heavens exceeded all our expectations. The view is breathtaking and we felt so lucky to wake up to it every day. All of the facilities were excellent but we have to give the biggest shout out to the dining room and kitchen staff. Keerthi's service was so fantastic, he was so attentive and kind. He even brought food to our room when I was ill. The best waiter and bartender EVER!! And thank you to Imalka and Kumara for the most delicious food we have had in any restaurant. They shared a recipe for one of the curries for my partner who is also a chef. We had so much fun with them and it's the best breakfast we've had, I've never seen my partner so satisfied! Bohoma Istuti guys!!

Featuring the luxurious comforts of a boutique hotel, 98 Acres Resort & Spa is set in Ella amidst a stunning landscape also known as the 98 acre tea estate.

The best hotel I've ever stayed with. The views are incredible. The experience of staying essentially in a tree house was so much fun. The breakfast food was the best meal I've had in my entire Sri Lankan trip.

    I recently visited Ella in Sri Lanka and had a wonderful experience. The views from Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak were breathtaking. The town had a relaxed vibe with charming cafes and shops. I enjoyed hiking to Ravana Falls and taking a train ride through the tea plantations. Ella is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    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.

    I had an amazing stay at Morning Dew Hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka! The location was perfect, and the service was top-notch. The staff, especially Chamidu, were incredibly friendly and professional, making my experience even more enjoyable. The proximity to the road for Ella Rock hiking was very convenient, and the views from the pool were simply breathtaking. Plus, the delicious breakfast added an extra touch of delight to my mornings. I highly recommend this hotel for a wonderful and memorable stay in Ella.

    Two thumbs up, amazingly friendly staff and breathtaking views of Sunset and moonset. View of the nine arch bridge and the valley was absolutely beautiful And the hotel was quite secluded and isolated from the busyness of the town in Ella. We would certainly stay again and will stay next time we visit Ella. Special thank Dharshan (one of the staff members) who was very friendly, accommodating, and always greeted us with a warm smile whenever we saw him. Thank you!!

    I think we had one of the most delicious breakfasts so far! The host asked what we love and made us Sri Lankan fusion breakfast which was super delicious. It is a home stay and not a boutique hotel. The room is located in a house on the hill with many steps. however the host and her sister are very welcoming and sweet. we were the only guests and had a big terrace with table and daybed for ourselves. The place has hot water, clean sheets, delicious breakfast.

    Warm and cute family-run hotel, where we felt at home. The stuff was very friendly, the rooms were comfortable and quiet which ensured a very good rest. The views from the hotel are impressive, and it’s just a few minutes ride from central Ella by tuktuk. The breakfast was also very nice. It’s a family-run business that is slowly growing. You can feel they invest a lot of love on it.

    The property is in a good area for those visiting Ella just a few minutes tuk tuk from town, for the low price you get what you would expect from a property on the budget end, basic rooms/facilities and friendly staff. The stay isn’t luxury however neither is the price point and is more than fair for what is provided.
