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.
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.
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.

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.

Nice Nature, but very touristic city center.
Nice Nature, but very touristic city center.
Ella Rock walk is great, but you can leave out the entrance fee to the top - the view during the walk is way better, and the top can be very crowded.
Little Adams Peak has a nice view on top, but the whole way is full of people who want to sell you stuff & a lot of tuktuks cross you while you are walking. That’s not really enjoyable.
The Zip Line there is also overrated and expensive, wound not recommend that.
Walking at the train tracks was a great experience.
And explore the restaurants in the city, don’t go in the overcrowded places. I was at the Lion restaurant, which has great service, an amazing view(!) and really good food.
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!
The place is amazing! Feels like a 5-star hotel but with love approach.
The host pays attention to the small details: the towels are soft and fresh, there are roses in different places as welcoming, arrival drinks with a cake.
I felt in love with the place. The terrace is also so nice. I could observe the squirrels and some special Sri Lanka bird.
The furniture is modern and stylish. It is very near to the center and bus station.
I will stay there next time when I am in Ella. Amazing hospitality.
This was our last hotel of our trip. The hotel itself was ok. The breakfast very basic only 3 types of fruit, bread or toast, then a Sri lanksn breakfast. You had a choice of eggs but that’s pretty much it.
No other meal service here and no bar.
Great location only 1.2km from Ella town so only 500 in a tuk tuk. Beautiful view of the waterfall and you can see the train track from the room.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Overall this hotel was good.
Stunning view, amazing hosts and great breakfast! 5 mins by Tuk tuk from the Main Street in Ella where all the restaurants and shops are located. A great point to start all your experiences while in Ella. The host and the entire family are a gem and I highly recommend a dinner there! You can ask to cook with the mum and learn the real Sri Lanka cuisine! Room clean , hot water and comfortable bed. Do not expect anything luxury but a REAL experience!
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.
Super nice host. Made very delicious breakfast each morning. They have a small restaurant just next to the Apartment.
The view into the valley is gorgeous from 2 sides. Good opportunity to put the hammock between the trees on the other side of the upper street.
I booked it to be alone and have my space without distortion. That worked out here. So if you do not have big claims for luxury I would definitely recommend this place.
We had a great stay at Morning Dew Hotel in Ella. The hotel is located on the top of a hill with a stunning 360 degree view from the roof (pool and bar also on the roof ☺️) very friendly staff who did their best to make our stay very remarkable! The buffet for breakfast is very varied and delicious. We had a room on the top floor with a great view, very spacious and modern design.
Thanks to the team from the hotel :)
We love the jungle setting that is just 10mins walk to the town. The sound of nature surrounds the property. The place is so well designed and decorated that it's more like a upmarket boutique hotel than a homestay. There are even 2 indoor swings in the common lounge. The provision of a kettle and a fridge in the common lounge is very thoughtful. The host Angelo was very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Indika was an excellent host and his accomodation is in a quiet secluded location. There so much to do around here being close to Stage 15 of the Pekoe Trail, close to tea tours of Amba Tea Plantation and so many other interesting walks. It is not a fancy boutique hotel. But it is exactly right for those wanting to feel more closely connected with the real Sri Lanka.
Shining Green View is located high above the lovely town of Ella. Having a tasty breakfast on the rooftop area looking over the hills was a great way to start the day. The staff led by Ruban were always a delight, nothing was difficult and they assisted us in any way they could. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to have the opportunity to visit again.
The hotel is on height.. Providing great views from balcony of Ella gap...good room size.. Good washroom.. with Hot water.. 2 min (steep) walk from ella main street..all main attractions are 5-10 min quick tuk tuk ride away...very professional staff.. Specially kavish.. On reception..
Majestic View of Ella Rock & Little Ad. Peak, Top Quality Room, aminities & Staffs,
they provided us a complementary honeymoon bed decoration whuch was made by Hotel Service Keeper Dinesh, who was an excellent person, and well behaved, special thanks to Dinesh. just loved the Hotel
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!
Ella Lucky Panoramic hotel has one of the best views for the Ella Rock and little Adams Peek. The owner of the hotel is very polite, helpful and guides throughout the journey. Located near a few tourist places is one of the plus points.
The location is quiet, although hard to find. there is a footpath through the forest which makes it closer to the center. Do not expect too much luxury when booking the budget room.
Host is friendly.
Mosquito net is provided.
It depends on your interest. location is at the heart of ella. so many restaurants and tourists and you can walk to the hotel from ella train stations. staffs was very friendly and well-coming. it defiantly worth the price.
The view is indeed amazingly beautiful! That alone was worth the stay. However, on top of that the staff was kind and helpful, and the hotel offered tuk tuk services around Ella for fair prices. Loved it!
The most beautiful view in Ella. This place is pure luxury, we got milkshakes and cocktails delivered our room and the bath was incredible! Couldn’t recommend it more!
It is close to Ella town center. Clean room and bathroom, provided hand soap (which ends up being a luxury compared to some other places). Really nice host.
