Best Ella Hotels

"Nestled in the lush highlands near Ella, my stay around Ravana Falls was nothing short of breathtaking. The property, often referred to locally as “Ravana Rabge,” perfectly captures the charm and serenity that make this region one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved travel destinations. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning architecture and its seamless blend with nature. Built across multiple levels on a hillside, the structure offers panoramic views of rolling green mountains, dense forests, and the distant valley below. The design is both modern and rustic, with warm wooden finishes, open balconies, and large glass windows that allow natural light to flood in throughout the day. Early mornings here feel magical—the soft golden sunlight gently touches the hills, while birdsong creates a peaceful wake-up call. One of the highlights of the property is its beautifully maintained outdoor space. The pool area is particularly inviting, offering a refreshing escape after a day of exploring nearby attractions. Sitting by the pool, surrounded by greenery and fresh mountain air, creates a sense of calm that is hard to find elsewhere. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, encouraging you to relax and fully enjoy the moment. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Each space provides a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, with attention given to both aesthetics and functionality. Waking up to a balcony view of the hills is an experience in itself—perfect for enjoying a cup of tea or coffee while soaking in the scenery. The overall ambiance makes it ideal for couples, solo travelers, or even small groups looking for a peaceful retreat. Another major advantage of staying here is its proximity to key attractions. Ravana Falls is just a short distance away, offering a spectacular natural sight and a refreshing stop for visitors. Additionally, the vibrant town of Ella is easily accessible, where you can explore cafes, local markets, and famous viewpoints like Ella Rock or the Nine Arches Bridge. The service at the property is warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any needs or travel tips. Their hospitality adds a personal touch to the stay, making guests feel truly cared for. If there’s one thing to note, it would be that the hillside location involves some walking and stairs, which may not be ideal for everyone. However, for most travelers, this is a small trade-off for the incredible views and peaceful environment. Overall, Ravana Rabge offers a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and scenic beauty. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or simply a break from busy city life, this place delivers an unforgettable experience. It’s not just a stay—it’s a memory you’ll carry long after you leave."

"Great location about 10 min walking from the train station, good staff and the place is clean and tidy. Looks like kind of a chain and that was what I wanted. The room is really small tho and there was no TV. But at least it’s very comfortable and you feel safe. As a solo women traveling I would recommend this place "

"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."

"Hospital reception, excellent breakfast and especially delicious coffee. Modern, clean room with mountain view. Recommend 100%!"
