This property has a very unique location in the mountains, away from the turysty crowds with amazing views surrounding you. The place is extremely clean and well equipped with a desk, open shelving, kettle, tea, coffee, etc. The breakfast was delicious, served on time with a smile and a lot of attention. The property is away from town but provides complementary tuk tuk service to town which we found extremely helpful.

Amazing ambiance - such lovely and cozy rooms! Very modern an extremely clean. Location may be a bit tricky without car/tuktuk, but it is in such a calm place that it makes up for it. Lovely breakfast choices of either Sri Lankan food or continental breakfast. The hosts are very helpful and willing to arrange anything that is needed.

I need more stars! 5 is not enough in any of these categories! Seriously, this is an absolute gem of a place to stay. It's not just a room, this is an experience and worth every penny and more. First of all, this room is way up on the mountain with the front balcony overlooking the 9 arch bridge. You can watch the trains come and go right there in your own space! There is a footpath that goes down to the bridge and takes you all around it so you can see it from every angle and it's extremely beautiful! The bed is VERY comfortable with actual bedding unlike much of Sri Lanka where you get what feels like a tablecloth to cover yourself. I slept very well. Every detail is covered: cards and books, umbrellas, kettle. Mini fridge, every type of drinkware, sugar, coffees/teas, hairdryer, washclothes and even the adapter for plugs. There are tons of outlets to plug into, one on each side of the bed as well as reading lamps. Huge windows to let tons of light flanked by curtains to darken the room as well. The neighbor property is Upali's brother's property which now also houses a bar/restaurant overlooking the tracks! Delicious breakfast is served on the front patio and is more than I eat in a day! Fresh fruits, little rolled pancakes with coconut and sugar, hoppers, hoppers with eggs, yogurt and coffee. The best part of the stay? Upali. He is an incredible host. Need a ride back down the hill? He's there. Need a ride back? Ok! Want to go climb Little Adam's Peak? Let's go! Anything you need he is ready and willing to help! I've never experienced anything like it. He even checked the oil, lights, brakes and everything in my tuk tuk and gave it a little wash. Made sure I was safe traveling alone as a woman. Just so amazing! Anyway, I urge you to book now, don't hesitate because it will be gone if you wait! Wish I could have stayed forever! Thank you Upali for a wonderful stay! I can't wait to return!

One of our favourite places in SL, had much more of a town feel. It is touristy but just means lots of place to eat. The hikes are amazing and were one of our favourite parts of our trip. Beware the scammers when going up Ella rock - it's a little confusing to find the path and locals will try to lead you away from the main path to 'guide' you

Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

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!

Lovely hotel. Staff were so lovely and welcoming and made us feel so special. They were so lovely with my son. Room was clean and comfortable, with incredible views overlooking Ella’s rock and Little Adam’s Peak. Food was really good too, we had dinner and breakfast and everything was cooked fresh for us by the lovely chefs. Perfect location for exploring Ella! We chose to get tuktuks as didn’t want to walk up the hill but they are super cheap. Ella has so much to offer, I wish we had longer. Would definitely recommend.

If you are looking for the perfect place in Ella to relax, stop looking you’ve found the right hotel. The staff was a real bonus, they are always trying their best to make you feel at home. Regarding the room itself, it’s quite spacious, very clean & the bed will offer you the best sleep. The cubes are truly the highlight of our trip around Sri Lanka. We initially booked one night but came back for 3 more nights. There is a room service and laundry can be done too. Special thanks to Eprival 🙏🏻

hotel and restaurant are located smack in the center of town with a Bank of Ceylon atm (no transaction fees) downstairs. the room is cheap and cheerful and the balcony is a shared terrace with furniture overlooking the main street. Now the best bit, the attached restaurant is very good quality and our included breakfast was one of the best we had in sri lanka. Make sure you have one meal here if you are staying in Ella
