Ravana Range Ella ★★★

📍 V2CW+J6X, Ella

"1. My room has an excellent view of the hills! 2. It provided me with whatever I need.  3. Service is excellent; in particular, staff at the restaurant. 10/10.  4- On short notice, p.i.c. at reception even helped me to book a tuk tuk sight seeing tour of hotspots in and around Ella. Will surely stay here again should i be in Ella again."

EKHO Ella
8.9 (74 reviews)

EKHO Ella ★★★★

📍 Sandungama Rd, Ella

"A very poor experience. While you wouldn't expect much in a tourist area for 2,000 yuan a night, the soundproofing was extremely poor and the hotel was located right next to the road, making the clatter of cars clear and loud even early in the morning. The windows were the worst kind of striped blinds, with huge gaps between them, effectively blocking out any light. The hot water was alternately hot and cold, making you scream with both cold and heat. The strange, large spider in the room wasn't worth mentioning. The only positive thing was the restaurant, situated on the cliffside, with a beautiful view."

Senu Ceylon Ella
9.8 (7 reviews)

Senu Ceylon Ella ★★★

📍 Madapathana, Kirimatiya, Ella

"We had a pleasant stay at Senu Ceylon Hotel. Breakfast and fried rice are delicious. Room is clean. They can arrange the tours around the city. Krishantha and Abhi are welcoming and they did a great job. Thank you."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella
9.9 (26 reviews)

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★

📍 V3G6+Q75, Ella

"Excellent hotel in the mountains with a wonderful view from the balcony. The room itself is very spacious and well-equipped. The fridge offers free drinks and beer. The breakfast was quite good. The staff met us with a tuk-tuk even though we arrived late and in the rain, as a car couldn't get through. The service was fantastic."

The Scenario Ella ★★★

📍 Halpe road, Rathnagiri Estate Rd, Ella

Misty Hills Ella Resort
8.1 (34 reviews)

Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★

📍 Wellawaya-Ella-Kumbalwela Hwy, Ella

"An excellent location in the heart of the mountains, offering breathtaking views. The city is around 15 mins from the resort and it's very lively with plenty of options for food and having an evening stroll. Transportation with tuk tuk is available at ease. The staff was very friendly and it has a nice infinity pool. "

Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella
8.7 (18 reviews)

Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella ★★★★

📍 Sapumal Tenna Rd, Ella

"As expected from a location at the highest point of Ella, the view is the best! .. However, due to the surrounding chaotic development, the roads are narrow and steep, so driving there is thrilling ㅜㅜ.. Since it is still under construction, only the first floor and some facilities are open, and ingredients are not yet fully prepared.. The staff try to be friendly, but charging that price in the current state is excessive."

Nine Arch Jungle Inn
8.8 (2 reviews)

Nine Arch Jungle Inn ★★★

📍 No 1, Getehewelapathana Passara Road, 3rd Mile Post, Ella

"A couple of rooms in a house located directly across from the Nine Arch Bridge, surrounded by forest. Clean and well-appointed rooms, very good and plentiful breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the bridge and watching the trains clatter by. Very friendly and attentive service. The only downside is that to reach the main road, you have to walk down a very steep path that can only be accessed by Tuk-Tuks; make sure you have a flashlight...or a charged phone for the evening!"

Bridge Front Inn Ella
10 (11 reviews)

Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★

📍 Nine Arch Rd, Ella

"Excellent hotel and location. The views are simply mesmerizing! The people are very hospitable. Yogesh helped with everything! The breakfasts are very filling, almost too much food!"

"Room was clean & spacious. Abit hard to drive up to but the view makes up for it (you can see the railway tracks from the villa). Service was also great, very helpful. Hotel breakfast was very nice. Very relaxing environment, recommend for those who want a little getaway."

Ella Retreat Hotels in Ella

Ella Retreat

"Our stay at Ell Retreat was nothing short of serene. The atmosphere was very peaceful. The room and the linen were immaculately clean and spotless, which made our stay even more comfortable. The food was delicious and satisfying, adding to the overall experience. A special mention must go to Kushan from the staff, his warm and homely service truly stood out. He made us feel right at home with his attentiveness and kind demeanor. We’re looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking tranquility and excellent service!"

Ella Alpine Resort Hotels in Ella

Ella Alpine Resort

"We arrived tired and out of sorts, but we were greeted so warmly that our spirits immediately improved. The hosts gave us tea, chatted in a homely way - you feel like a welcome guest, not a client. The hotel is on top of a mountain, and each room has an exit to a terrace with a stunning view. You wake up in the morning - and in front of you there are only mountains and silence. The room is clean, cozy, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Breakfast was prepared especially for our preferences: fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast, even smoothies! The staff is not formally polite, but truly kind. If you want to not just spend the night, but feel cared for and relax your soul - this is definitely your place. I want to come back again and recommend it to everyone. Many thanks to the hosts for such an atmosphere!"

Hidden Pine Ella Hotels in Ella

Hidden Pine Ella

"This was my first time in this city and my stay here was amazing. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, offering a full immersion in nature that you can't find in big cities. The atmosphere and accommodation were very private. The owners provided excellent service, making me feel like family. The rooms were large and spacious, not at all intimidating. On my arrival, I requested to try on traditional Sri Lankan clothing, and the accommodation provided it for me. I was extremely impressed."

"The views are absolutely stunning, you can see both Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. The terrace is spacious and private, and the room itself is large. There's also a pool, and the staff are very friendly. Once you get used to it, the walk up the hill isn't that far."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★
"This place is beautiful. Right in the Ella jungle, with an incredible view. The room was beautiful - new, spacious and well equipped with everythng you'd need. It is literally a four minute walk from the Nine Arches Bridge. Getting into and out of town was easy - they offer a free tuk tuk service. The breakfast was very generous indeed and you will not go shy of fresh fruit! The two guys looking after the place were amazing - so kind and attentive; they will look after you. Solid recommend."

Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★
"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience my family and my friend's family had during our visit to Misty Villas on 14th August. Misty Villas is truly a beautiful place. We were greeted with a warm welcome, and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, and every one was very friendly and accommodating to the guest. The rooms were luxurious, truly comparable to a 5 star hotel. I would especially like to commend Mr. Roshan, the manager. Who was incredibly kind, friendly, helpful and lovely. His expetional service made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you once again for providing such a memorable experience. Krishan Rukmal."

Nine Arch Jungle Inn ★★★
"This place was great! The views, the nature, the peace, the breakfast!! I dont think you could be closer to the 9 arch bridge, outside the inn is the path to the bridge and its about 3min walk from there, downhill. Forewarned, I arrived in the evening and it was dark, I would suggest arriving in the daylight as its a little scary otherwise! The roads can only be accessed by tuktuk, they are very steep and you're so in nature my brain couldn't adjust to all the noises without visual clues...but once I seen it all in the daylight, it was amazing, my brain adjusted and I could appreciate all the nature noises. The roads are steep, but doable. Everything (other than bridge) is about 20/30min walk away. There are restaurants about 10/15mins away. I would recommend, it was one of my favourite stays, I enjoyed sitting on my balcony watching the trains come in, watching the monkeys or squirrels..enjoy!"

Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★
"Perfect Stay in the Heart of Ella! We recently stayed at Bridge Front Inn and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything about this place is excellent. The staff here are incredibly attentive and friendly; they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We were greeted with a complimentary freshly made passion fruit juice, which was a delicious way to start our stay. The location is simply ideal — right next to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, making it super convenient for exploring Ella's main attractions on foot. Although we didn't use their shuttle service because we weren't aware of it when booking, the owner kindly agreed to drive us to a restaurant one evening, showing true hospitality. The food was another highlight, absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet deserves a special mention as there is an enormous selection of dishes to choose from. Our room was spotlessly clean with fresh bed linen and brilliantly white towels. Highly recommended!"
