Wow! As soon as we walked into our room the view of the mountains (Little Adams Peak) was breathtaking. We set our alarms and watched the sunrise from our balcony. The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. The buffet breakfast was lovely and included freshly cooked omelets, waffles and pancakes. Located a short (but hilly) walk to the town centre and walking distance to the Nine Arches bridge. The staff were all extremely friendly & helpful.

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.

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    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.

    This place was 100% romantic lying on a hillside. The view was great. It is not a luxury place but there is a fridge, water boiler, hairdryer etc. Breakfast is good and the owner is friendly. He also offers tuktuk service on request. I felt it is a bit a special place because it is so hidden. We were in another place in Ella before but that one was more expensive and not so special.

    In the nature, 20 min walking from the 9 arches bridge, 10 min by tuk tuk from the center. The owner has a shop and can provide you with anything you need. Incredible kindness and hospitality. Silence, which in Ella is rare. Of course you get what you paid for, so do not expect luxury.
