Ravana Range Ella ★★★
"Excellent location with a short walk to the main strip, staff were friendly and very helpful, pool was excellent. Very happy and wanted to stay longer"
EKHO 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 ★★★
"Truly one of the best homestays we’ve been in. From start to finish we have received the best and kindest service from Krishantha who made us feel at home and was always checking in if we needed anything. The room itself is spacious and has everything you need and overlooks a gorgeous view of Ella. Couldn’t reccomend more!"
Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★
"Although the location is a little inaccessible, that’s how the beautiful view of train coming out from tunnel can be seen. And the inaccessible location is overly compensated by the service, there is TukTuk to fetch you from Ella Town or Ella station when you arrive. During your stay, they fetched us back from Ella town after dinner around 9pm to the accommodation for the convenience. Also upon check out, they sent us back to Ella station. So, you can to enjoy the view in absolute nature without compromising the convenience. Absolutely love the place. Just walking distance to 9 Arch."
The Scenario Ella ★★★
"It offers great value for money, is in a newly built building, and is all good, but the location is a bit disappointing. However, even this is acceptable considering the price."
Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★
"Keeping in mind this is a 3 star hotel, the positives are the rooms are big with a balcony looking out at amazing views (ours anyway), and the pool is clean and quite big also with amazing views and a concrete elephant water feature!!! The location of the hotel is pretty good too - far enough from other properties to be quiet but close enough to Ella main drag that you can walk in 10-15 minutes or pay a tuk tuk driver double the rate of Colombo to get to and from. The big negative for us was that despite being told upon checking in that the room would be cleaned every day, it was not. And I was told the reason why was that we didn’t hand in our key for it to be done - which seems bizarre after staying in hotels for decades and not being told to or having to hand in a key in order to get a standard daily room clean. The insinuation that it was our fault for not handing in a key (not that we were told to do so on checking in) was extremely irritating. Food was ok but overpriced so we ate elsewhere (lots of options). There were lots of little things in the rooms that could be easily addressed to make them nicer - definitely not having ripped old bath towels, and removing an empty TV bracket from the wall (like a TV used to be there but not anymore - or was it just our room, who knows). All these little things add up to I really think the room rate is too high - but we are here in the high season so maybe that’s just the going rate."
Heaven Breeze Hotel 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 ★★★
"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 ★★★
"This was my first time staying at their guesthouse, and I was very satisfied with their service. It's really only 50 meters from the attractions, no joke! They also provide a generous breakfast. This photo was taken from their balcony."

O2 Villas Ella
"We loved our stay here. All staff members were amazing and made us feel so special. We got a free upgrade as well which was very kind. The breakfast was also good. Really recommend it!"
Moi Ella by DBI
"If you’re looking for a peaceful and tranquil stay then Moi Ella is the place! We had such a lovely & relaxing stay here. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, we were greeted with some tea and delicious coconut pancake on arrival which was just what we needed after a long drive. The breakfast and dinner was also amazing. The hotel offers 360 views of the beautiful hills and mountains of Ella, and you can even head up to the top floor to catch sunrise - we did this one morning and it was absolutely breathtaking!! If you’re looking to stay in/near Ella then you might want to find somewhere closer to the town as this hotel is about a 30 minute drive out of town so you’ll need transport. We didn’t mind though as we loved how peaceful and secluded the hotel was :)"
Oak Ray La Ella Breeze
"Lovely service and very good choice of food. We were served by Githmi who was fantastic. Service with a large smile."
Nine Skies
"This is one of the best hotels we've stayed in and was truly the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. Having only 5 rooms ensures a quiet and restful stay with wonderful service. We really did feel at home straight away. The food, the location and level of comfort are all 5 stars."
Ella Flower Garden Resort
"Spent 2 nights at this hotel during our holiday. Small comfortable rooms ours had a gorgeous view over the flowers and onto the mountains. Breakfast plentiful We had a very early departure and staff were up to help with bags and provide us with a packed breakfast for the journey! Restaurant is next door - connected to hotel but separate (you can’t add the meal to your room bill) Just note if staying at full moon no alcohol served. Very convenient location for walk to 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s peak and a 15-20 minute walk down to main part of town"
Mum Jungle Inn
"Wonderful accommodation in a peaceful environment next to the train station. The room was clean and comfortable. What's more, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would go back there with no hesitation."
Tea Garden Holiday Inn
"Unfortunately, I arrived very late and didn't feel like looking for somewhere else. The door could only be locked with a padlock and the room wasn't really clean. The best thing about the accommodation was the view, which is really beautiful."
Heritaz Villa Ella
"Great location. Good and filling breakfast. The only downside was that it rained, so the air conditioning wasn't enough to keep us warm, and it was damp and chilly. Otherwise, the room was spacious and decent. There was a fridge, hot water, and a good shower."
Ivory Canopy resort
"Very good hotel with good service and quite room With good view"
Velora Hill Ella | Panoramic Hilltop Stay
Viewfront Ella
"Stay away from this hotel! The hotel rooms isn’t what’s pictured on booking sites, the entrance is through a forest on a mountain and through other buildings. The walls is stained, door is leaking, and the room are nasty. The entrance pathway crumbled under me so a nail went through my foot and got several scratches. It is NOT a hotel, not even a bungalow. I would rather sleep with the homeless dogs than stay there one night. We checked out 30 minutes after we checked in. At least the manager was nice enough to give a full refund and drive us to another hotel."
Ella Trail Luxury Villa
"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
"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
"We usually stay in higher-end hotels, but our stay here was incredibly comfortable despite the seemingly simple and modest interior. The owner, Priyanatha, is a very friendly and pleasant person, always ready to help and resolve any issues. We stayed in January and slept with the door ajar all night; the temperature was comfortable, and insects didn't bother us."
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."
