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.

The hotel is located about 20 drive from Ella which means you are away from the bustle of Ella and in a very scenic and peaceful location. The historic buildings give it a unique character and there is a nice pool to cool down in. Our rooms had private balconies which provided relaxing panoramic views.

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.

This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options.
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.
Great location with a beautiful view. Breakfast in great portion and delicious. Room was spacious and good for the value.
Nimal is one of the best hosts in the business; he sent a list of things he could help with before we got to his hotel and indeed he booked a trip for us to Yala National Park and Diyaluma Falls. He even helped us with finding a ride from Ella to our next stop, what more could we ask for?
We enjoyed his conversation during our stay for 3 days in Ella and genuinely thank his supportive and helpful attitude during our stay.
Lovely stay at W1 Ella, hosts were fantastic and very accommodating. The views from the veranda were stunning too! Very comfy beds and good facilities. Also huge breakfasts!
You can walk to Ella Rock from here, along the train track and also into town. Lots of bars, restaurants etc close by, around a 15-20 minute walk. Make sure you have more than just flip flops with you.
Beware, the road leading up to the hotel is not suitable for any cars. You can rent mopeds or a tuk tuk will take you up there but definitely don’t drive a car!
We spent only one night in this beautiful hotel, located in a top of a mountain and 200m from the city centre, kavish and his team assisted us with everything what we wanted, they kept the kitchen open for bit late so that we could order food after we arrived late at night. Food was so delicious, and the breakfast too
They helped us to book tuk tuk to get down to ella Town.
This place deserves five stars for everything
We had a wonderful stay at Ella Planters Bangalow, greeted by friendly staff and a large room. The hotel is located in a hill with a lovely view of the mountains and there is a swing hidden at the end of the property which you can ride with a panorama view. We loved the breakfast which was a combination of western and local flavors. Overall a cozy, hidden gem we were glad we discovered and would highly recommend.
Wow, that was a prefect stay. Everything was perfect about this hotel - the staff, the breakfast, and the breathtaking view. The host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We had a great time at the hotel and in Ella in general. He even arranged a taxi from Ella to the hotel and you can ask for him to arrange a taxi for a cheaper price. I highly recommend Hights and definitely we will come again!
The hotel was fantastic. The rooms had a modern design and were brand new! All areas of the hotel were spotless and I would definitely stop here again! The staff were very accommodating and even cooked food for us during one of the tropical storms! Breakfast each morning was really filling and the staff were great at giving us recommendations and where to go and visit in Ella. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Best view in Ella, hotel is literally on top of the hill. Really nice rooftop with a pool, room was comfortable and they had free water and toiletries. Breakfast was nice and the staff was very accomodating because they let us have early breakfast the day we were leaving. Staff would also bring us up and down the hill in their shuttle which was very convenient.
Gorgeous cabins just outside Ella town for an excellent price. Staff and owner are amazing and so kind - they catered to our every need and took good care of us. The views are stunning, the cabins have every luxury you need (including Netflix!) and we loved the private pool and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was also delicious!
This hotel is located in a very attractive location in front of Ella Rock. So you see the best view. Apart from the geographical location, the property owner is a really nice genuine lady. The staff is also friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place.
The place was very clean and the host was the most friendly guy in all of Sri Lanka. He offered us coffee and tea and he gave us a ride and he did not ask for anything. Do not expect a very luxury room, but a very nice garden and room with the most kind host!
The Hotel has a great 360 view of Ella from its rooftop bar/restaurant and pool area. The Rooms have a good view as well, however, if you have a room on a lower floor your view does get slightly ruined by an ugly looking building next door.
Amazing location, clean hotel, nice staff, very close to the restaurants and the main street of ella. The views are great. The Breakfast is very good as well. Overall, the hotel is a really good one il Ella with good value for money.
Great location in Ella. Beautiful cottages and surrounding greenish fresh Air. easy access to Ella City. Breakfast was very very delicious.Nice Restaurant in Hotel. helpful staff. definitely come back and highly recommandation.
Amazing boutique hotel at central location surrounded! The owner and staff made our stay a unique experience, they were extremely helpful and provided assistance with transportation to and from the hotel!
very close to ella railway station. everything around hotel. solo traveler like this hotel. very cheap to stay. Isuru he is very helpful. very close to bus stop. i like to stay again. thanks ISURU.
All review comments are true: small boutique hotel with only 3 rooms - comfortable and with nice balcony. Excellent location in central Ella but quiet - friendly staff and an impressive breakfast!
For the money paid it was a great hotel and away from the crowds of Ella. Easy down hill walk to town or pop up the road and take railway track to Ella station and top of town.
Loved it. it’s not for those used to stay in luxury hotels but the place is amazing for relaxing and the views are amazing. The owner one of the best person i met in Sri Lanka.
