The Residence Ella, hotel in Ella

Located in Ella, 3.3 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, The Residence Ella has accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

We had an absolutely amazing time at The Residence Ella. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great decor and comfy beds. The breakfast was delicious! It is at the perfect location with only a 3 min drive from Ella town, with a peaceful environment.The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. We were hours earlier than our check in time and they made sure to make the room ready as soon as they could. And Mr Thimira was so flexible as he allowed us to come back for a quick change even though we had checked out. Nothing was too much trouble. I can’t fault the place and will definitely go back. Highly recommend if you are planning a great trip to Ella!!

    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. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery.

    Ella is a chilled laid back kind of place like Bali used to be, However the TukTuk Mafia are despicable rude, price gouging and trying to rip off every tourist. If you go to Ella take your own transport. You can rent your own TukTuks and Scooters. I encourage people to use Uber andPickme it works in Colombo. Honest TukTuk drivers are bullied in Ella As well as other tourist hubs in Sri Lanka.

    Good starting place for visiting the mountain area of the country. Downtown noisy and inundated with tourists. Those who want a quieter but equally stunning settling but somewhat more limited in amenities may do better staying in a smaller and nearby setting. If you are taking the amazing train ride, do so ‘backwards’ and start in Ella area.

    Amazing location and the view (tho a bit remote from Ella, around 20-25 min drive, the hotel offers tuktuk for a good price.). If you’re looking for a peaceful gem with the astonishing surroundings this is it. The room was super spacious, nice bathroom, comfortable beds, very good standard. Pool with even better views (you have to climb quite a lot of stairs to get to it, it’s above the hotel). Delicious food in the restaurant, very reasonable prices. The staff is super helpful, quick, and nice. It was a pleasure to stay.

    We loved this hotel and are sad to leave. We already extended our stay by one night. The pool is perfectly clean with lots of sunbeds. It is the perfect place to chill and a short stroll down a hill to the restaurants and bars in Ella. The staff were so nice and friendly. The room had a fan but we didn't actually need to use it. The bed is comfy and we slept really well. And there's a pool table! It is such good value for money, we can't understand how it is so cheap.

    The room was so clean and well organized. The room was new with the all staff in it. There were some well thought details in the room like convertor first aid kit etc. The owner and his son Supun were so friendly and helpful. Hotel was located on the top of a hill with an amazing green mountain view. Traditional Sri Lankan breakfast served by the owner was so delicious. If you are going to visit Ella, Misty Peak View must be your place for staying.

    The hosts were very welcoming. They cater to you even on late night check ins. The hotel is amidst trees and you wake up everyday to a choir of birds. The view of the mountains from the top is amazing. They provide a very good breakfast of traditional Sri lankan cuisine. Don't forget to taste the cinnamon leaves. The location is very close to all sites in Ella. The hosts provide the locations of the sights and how to reach them easily.

Not in the main part of Ella, but a cheap Tuktuk drive away and well worth it for the view and serenity. Close to the Ella rock hike. Awesome spot to watch sunrise and listen to the early morning sounds of nature.
