Tunnel Top Inn Ella

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★

📍 V3G6+Q75, Ella

"Well, this is a truly heartfelt place. The main highlight is the breathtaking view; it's absolutely stunning. Our room had a panoramic window looking out onto an indescribably beautiful landscape. The service was very attentive yet unobtrusive. Breakfast was another interesting experience, with local dishes prepared right in front of you. The rooms are modest but have everything you need, including a fridge with complimentary drinks. The famous bridge is literally 100 meters away, just one flight of stairs down. On the downside, the location itself can be tricky to reach by taxi or tuk-tuk. It's a bit far from Ella, and not every vehicle can find or climb up to the hotel. However, that's the trade-off for the amazing view and being one with nature. I definitely recommend it."

O2 Villas Ella
8.3 (50 reviews)

O2 Villas Ella ★★★★★

📍 No 04 Rathnagiri Watta Idamegama, Ella

"Okay so I paid too much for this experience to be so subpar. Where do I even begin - Most of the staff were FAR from being helpful. There’s no telephone in the room, they give a WhatsApp number to contact on…they only reply on WhatsApp sometimes and god forbid you need something at night or something goes wrong - they WON’T reply. To get to the best The rooms of the property - you have to take about 200 steps of stairs. No one wants to pay so much for the most expensive room in the hotel only to get to know that it’s the most inconvenient room. If you order food, you have to go down 200 steps and come back up. Not very well thought of design. As someone else said in another review - the walls are paper and the roof is tin, you get loud noises in the room from that tin roof all night. The stairs in the executive room are not very safe. The bathroom again - not very well thought of in terms of design which makes it inconvenient for the user. The public washroom on the ground floor don’t even think of using it. You can ask the staff for something as simple as bananas and they’ll act like you’re making their life difficult. The restaurant and in room dining menu - very limited. There was a lizard in our room but they don’t care. Too many extra switches, buttons and screens in the room lord knows why as they don’t function. The executive villa was aesthetically pleasing and cozy but they advertise it as executive villa with tea tasting and pairing which is far from the truth. They just give you tea sachets and tell you to make yourself tea. Nothing else. Not even one person tellling you anything about the tea or guiding you so that’s basically a scam. The pool has insects. The breakfast EXTREMELY LIMITED. No buffet just one curry and hoppers, one packed juice, one fresh juice. Tea sachets and warm water that’s it. In the middle of guests having breakfast they start their staff meeting within the restaurant and stop serving customers. The location is too remote and poor yet they don’t help with taxi services. They call a tuk tuk for you and ask you to go to town centre and find taxi for yourself. The location and service are the worst things about this hotel. The staff acts like you’re literally wasting their time and annoying them if you ask for literally the most basic stuff. They don’t want to accommodate with anything at all. The only nice staff member was the female staff member at the reception, I do not know her name."

Ella Village View Homestay

Ella Village View Homestay ★★

📍 Atulgashina road, kithalella, Ella

"We really enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse! We planned to stay there for a couple of days, but my temperature spiked and I had to recover for five days. Another thing I'd like to point out for those with their own transport is the rather steep approach to the guesthouse, which is especially scary the first time, but then you get used to it. There's a steep hill and descent, and a bike can stall if it idles. It's also difficult for a car to turn around if you're not used to it. If you're driving, you need to be proficient at driving in tight spots to get there and turn around. The guesthouse owner prepares delicious breakfasts; we didn't get tired of them even though we had them over and over again. The view is beautiful! Ella itself is a bit remote, but a doctor, covered by our insurance, came the next morning upon request. It's also not easy to get groceries; you either have to ride your bike or walk, but it's about 20-25 minutes. There's a shortcut across the railway, and you can quickly reach a cafe, but it's uphill! I recommend it, the main thing is you don't get sick. And the sound is fine, as long as your neighbors don't snore loudly."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★
"The location, ambiance, breakfast and dinner, and service all exceeded my expectations. My friend hopes to stay again and for several more days. Being in the mountains, the evenings are still quite cool even in the height of summer. The famous mountain train passes by the Nine-Arch Bridge right next to the hotel."

O2 Villas Ella ★★★★★
"I honestly don’t know where to start with this place. How O2 Villas Ella can be advertised as a 5 star resort is beyond me. This has been a 2 to 3 star experience at absolute best and after one problem after another we’ve just had enough. From the minute we arrived there have been issues. The toilet in our daughters’ room wasn’t working. They’ve also had problems with their shower. Our original room was downstairs with another room directly above us and the noise was ridiculous. The rooms seem to be made from what basically looks like cheap decking boards and there is ZERO soundproofing. I’m not exaggerating when I say you can hear absolutely everything. If someone walks past your room having a conversation, it sounds like they’re standing next to your bed. You hear every footstep, every conversation, every door, people walking around above you, people in the rooms next to you. There is basically no privacy at all. Trying to relax in the room is impossible because you are constantly listening to everyone else around you. Then, as if the noise wasn’t enough, we discovered OUR ROOM WAS LEAKING. Water was literally coming into the room and running into the carpet. So we complained and were moved upstairs. At least we no longer had someone directly above our heads, but we can STILL hear everything through the walls. Then we started repeatedly running out of hot water. Then today we went out for the entire day, came back to the hotel and discovered nobody had even bothered to service our room. Bed exactly as we left it, rubbish still in the room, dirty towels still there, nothing replenished. Nothing had been done at all. And then there’s the “pool”. The photos make the pool area look considerably better than the reality. It’s basically a small plunge pool. There are TWO sunbeds. TWO! For the entire place. We specifically chose a hotel with a pool because we wanted the option of spending a day relaxing around it. You simply cannot do that here. So after the broken toilet, shower problems, leaking room, having to move rooms, ridiculous noise, basically no soundproofing or privacy, repeatedly running out of hot water, no housekeeping and the disappointing pool area, we decided we’d had enough and asked if we could leave ONE NIGHT EARLY. We weren’t asking for our whole stay back. We weren’t even asking for compensation for all the problems we’d already put up with. We literally just asked them to refund ONE unused night so we could leave early. Absolutely not. They wouldn’t budge an inch. All we kept getting was “cancellation policy”. Apparently we need to give around four weeks’ notice to cancel. WE BOOKED THE HOTEL LESS THAN A WEEK AGO! How exactly were we supposed to give four weeks’ notice that the toilet wouldn’t work, our room would leak, there would be virtually no soundproofing, we’d keep running out of hot water and our room wouldn’t be serviced?! There is a huge difference between cancelling because you’ve changed your mind an"

"Great accommodation! It's a bit far from the center, but they offer to pick you up and take you wherever you need to go. In fact, we had to go to the doctor, and the guy didn't leave our side until everything was sorted. Not to mention the amazing views of Ella from there. They were super friendly from the moment we arrived. Without a doubt, if I return to Ella, I'd stay at this hotel again."

"Great accommodation near the town center, if you take the shortcut across the railway tracks. I had a fantastic room with a balcony and a direct view of the waterfall. A delicious local breakfast was served on the outdoor terrace. A good location for exploring the surrounding area. I would have loved to stay longer! 👍👍👍👍"
