Senu Ceylon Ella ★★★

📍 Madapathana, Kirimatiya, Ella

"The hotel view was absolutely stunning, which was definitely the highlight. Plus, the pick-up and drop-off services to and from the hotel were a huge convenience, making my stay very satisfying. The amenities were also excellent, and I had absolutely no complaints."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella
9.9 (27 reviews)

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★

📍 V3G6+Q75, Ella

"When we originally booked there was only 1 review so we were hesitant to book but decided to anyway. It turned out to be the best decision and we couldn’t be happier. The room and view is absolutely beautiful. Watching the sunrise and hearing the birds from the big and comfortable balcony was a highlight of our trip. The hosts really thought of everything. They have a tuktuk service to take you into the city, the hotel is a few minutes walk from the nine arches, lots of amenities you might need, and delicious breakfast. We hope to stay again! Thank you."

The Scenario Ella

The Scenario Ella ★★★

📍 Halpe road, Rathnagiri Estate Rd, Ella

"A very pleasant hotel. It's located a bit away from the city center, but that means it's very quiet in the evenings. There's a good restaurant nearby, and breakfast at the hotel is served on a terrace with an excellent view."

Misty Hills Ella Resort
7.9 (37 reviews)

Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★

📍 Wellawaya-Ella-Kumbalwela Hwy, Ella

"This is an inoffensive hotel set in the hills below Ella with a stunning view over the mountains. Our room was big and spacious with a comfortable bed and large bathroom. The hotel pool is excellent but can get quite busy. The hotel gave the vibe of being unfinished. The lift broke during our stay and we had to literally climb down the side of the building because there were no stairs. Our shower did not get hot water and the WiFi didn't reach our room. Even so, we had an enjoyable stay."

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 (3 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
9.9 (15 reviews)

Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★

📍 Nine Arch Rd, Ella

"This independent guesthouse, styled like a private home, offers spacious and clean accommodations. The staff are friendly, and the delicious breakfast, prepared with care, is a particular highlight."

"Best Staffs.. very friendly. We chilled at the villa cause it was so relaxing 1 whole day. Breakfast was very good, we got a pool villa, chill with friends a drinks. Most rooms (top floor) has a very nice scenic view. The front office staff (manager), we thought he worked in Maldives, his service was next level. The hotel atmosphere was beautiful.. very koh samui like if we go ella, for sure we will stay there again"

"Stunning hotel set high in the mountains offering amazing views. Staff were exceptionally polite and attentive. Room was reasonable size and offered balcony with incredible view over pool and mountains. Breakfast was very good and evening meal was good. The hotel is a little dated and disconnected but the vast pool, stunning views and great staff more than make up for its decor. They also helped book rail tickets which were proving a challenge so thank you."

"Ordered peppered beef curry, which proved to be a mistake. Looked good, smelt good but no amount of chewing could render the meat swallowable. The vegetarian side dishes were lovely, and the poppadoms were great. My wife’s Tom Yum soup was tasty but full of lemongrass shards. Shame really; with a little more care of the ingredients this could have been a lovely meal. Wasn’t charged for the beef component of the rice and curry meal, so fair enough."

Tea Garden Holiday Inn

"I hate to say this, as I know how important the business is to these small run villas, but unless you're absolutely desperate, don't stay here. Yes it was very cheap and the views are very nice from certain vantages, but the place is dirty and falling apart. No hot water so didn't shower during my stay. Bathroom falling apart. Window screen broken so any creatures can come through at night. Beds and bedding dirty. Towels beyond usable. Mosquito nets beyond use. Safety also a concern. Bathroom window not secure and front door - single small latch. You're given a luggage padlock to secure you're room when you leave. As mentioned, views are nice and good location to the city centre, but I would not stay here if given the choice. Id rather pay more and they upgraded this inn."

Heritaz Villa Ella Hotels in 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."

Ella Alpine Resort Hotels in Ella

Ella Alpine Resort

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay here, thanks to the incredibly warm and hospitable staff. Our room had a breathtaking mountain view, allowing us to truly experience the beauty and peaceful atmosphere of Sri Lanka's hill country. Waking up to those views every morning was unforgettable. What made our stay truly special was the staff. They were exceptionally kind, attentive, and always looked after us, often going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Their genuine hospitality made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. The food deserves a special mention. It was, without a doubt, the best food we had anywhere during our trip across Sri Lanka. Every meal was freshly prepared, and the staff would often ask what we were craving and happily customize the dishes to our preferences. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. Having stayed at several hotels in different parts of Sri Lanka, this was easily one of our favorites. From the spotless cleanliness and comfortable rooms to the excellent location, stunning mountain views, outstanding food, and exceptional hospitality, every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

"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."

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."

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 ★★★
"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."

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!"
