Best hotel in town honestly. The room is perfect and such a nice view, everything is clean and we feel home.

A beautiful resort surrounded by nature — the views from the rooms are absolutely breathtaking and peaceful. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring, making us feel truly welcomed throughout our stay. The food was excellent, and the live music in the evening added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Still, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and connect with nature — we’d love to come back!

This was one of the best places we stayed during our trip. The price was great, the room was clean, and the location was perfect. We were welcomed with delicious coffee, and the breakfast each morning was fresh and tasty. The team was incredibly helpful, even assisting with our bags to the next hotel nearby. Thank you for such a smooth and lovely experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing Ella Rock view from the room! Air condioned room. Great rich breakfast. Staff was super warm & friendly. Even made us 1 lunch as a courtesy at no extra cost. Good location - generally quiet outside the super busy town center, yet still within 5 minute walk from the town's main street.

    Very friendly and vibrant town.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Ella is a small town with breathtaking views and well organized place for tourists, If you are a nature lover and looking for a good quality time of enjoying hikes / mountains / zip lines / pictures with your family for a good prize , Ella is the place. Very safe for solo travelers too. Don't expect 5 stay luxury restaurants / high class bars etc. Lots of sign boards around guiding tourists to select the places they like to visit. Tuk tuk prizes are fixed for most places. don't forget to take a dip in fresh waters Ella offers in high mountain water falls.

    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!"

    This hotel boasts an absolutely fantastic location (although high up a hill), making it easy to explore the area and not far from the Ella Rock hiking trail starting point. The entire property was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. To top it off, the breakfast provided was truly excellent and a great start to the day.

    The hotel has a fantastic view of Ella Rock and Ella Gap which was wonderful at both sunrise and sunset. We had a pleasant stay. The hotel is clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There are works going on at the moment to build a rooftop pool which I’m sure will be lovely when complete.
