We stayed for 2 nights and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer our questions and assist us. The view from the balcony was absolutely beautiful, a perfect place to relax. Although the location is a bit far from the city, the property offers its own shuttle service to the center at any time you need, which was very convenient. The only small downside was that the room got a bit chilly in the evenings.

Very nice and helpful owner and staff, we felt very welcomed! :) Room was modern and nicely furnished with a great view into the hills. We loved the relaxing and quiet atmosphere a bit far from Ella town. Good a la carte breakfast where you can choose from Continental with egg or Sri Lankan.

The staff at the place was very friendly and nice. The breakfast was good and the view was exceptional, you can see the waterfall from the breakfast area outside the rooms. A bit outside the city centre, but there is a shortcut up some stairs and a walk along the train tracks, about 10 mins. Highly recommend.

    We loved the Mountain View’s.

    We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

    Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. Tucked away in the hill country, this charming little town offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. Surrounded by lush green tea plantations, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls, it feels like stepping into a postcard. One of the best things about Ella is how laid-back and peaceful it is, yet there's so much to explore. Whether you're hiking up Little Adam’s Peak or the iconic Ella Rock, walking across the Nine Arches Bridge, or just enjoying a quiet tea with panoramic views, every moment feels special. The town itself is small but full of character, with cozy cafés, local restaurants, and friendly people. It’s also very traveler-friendly, making it easy to get around or find a good place to stay. And let’s not forget the cool mountain air—a refreshing change from the tropical heat in other parts of Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, Ella is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a nature lover, a backpacker, or just someone looking to unwind in a scenic spot, Ella will leave you with memories you'll never forget.

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    Very friendly and vibrant town.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful, always offered to drive us down the hill to the town. Amazing views from all aspects of this hotel. From showering overlooking trees to the rooftop bar with views of Ella rock. Bed was very comfortable. Restaurant on site with some tasty options and 2 hours of 241 cocktails. We preordered our breakfast and it came out promptly for the time we stated. They also came and collected us from the train station ☺️

The modern decor is sleek and welcoming, and the amenities are top-notch. The on-site restaurant serves delicious meals, and the location is ideal for exploring the area. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking for a relaxing, upscale stay. Highly recommended!

    This is a really lovely homestay! It is clean and comfortable and a wonderful haven oasis in the jungle, away from the hectic main road of Ella town. This is not a 5* luxury hotel, it's a clean and comfortable room part of a family's home. It is a little walk - 20 minutes on hilly bumpy road - from the main town, but for me it was perfect. You are already on the way to climb ella rock! I really enjoyed my stay here.
