The loveliest hotel room we have ever stayed in- mostly because of the view… wow! But we couldn’t fault anything in the room either is was so lovely. The breakfast was super nice too was served on the table and chairs outside our room overlooking the view.

The entirely wooden home was an amazing sight and the view was even better. We arrived in the evening and woke up to a spectacular sight hearing the river/waterfalls down below. Absolutely stunning. The family that runs Wood Palace is amazing and has been great in accommodating us with anything we needed during our stay, first making arrangements for me as I was planning to propose to my girlfriend and later whilst our son got sick. The amazing starry nights from the balcony and fireflies lighting up the view topped it off. It’s located a little outside of Ella (5min drive) which made it very peaceful and quiet. The owner has a TukTuk and can bring you anywhere you need very quickly. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a very memorable stay

It was the best stay we had in Sri Lanka! The hotel looks even better in real than at the pictures. The staff is incredible, freidnly and helpful, soo lovely people🙏 Waking up with the view from the window and having delicious breakfast in the open restaurant is sooo magical. Moreover the hotel is located pretty close to the centrum (especially by tuk tuk). Highly highly recommended!

An astonishing location, exactly as seen in the photos, with a comfortable balcony offering a great view of the Nine Arches Bridge. The host was very friendly, and the room was meticulously decorated. They even provided games for guests to play. Although there was no air conditioning, it didn't bother us as the evening temperature was pleasant. Just be mindful that there are more insects around, given the mountainous area.

Loved everything! Room was incredible, views like nothing else, delighted to have a bed that could roll onto the balcony and a hammock for relaxation. Spa was beautiful with serene views and reasonably priced (it was cheaper than the place we went to in town!). Restaurant staff were lovely. If the sights of Ella weren't so fantastic, we would have happily spent every second in this room.

A very nice hotel in Ella. The rooms are large and clean. The manager is extremely friendly and courteous. He always asks if everything is okay and responds immediately to any requests. The breakfast is delicious and offers a wide selection of local and international specialties. The hotel is in a great location. It is secluded, so you can enjoy peace and quiet, but the main street is only a few minutes' walk away. The view is spectacular. We would definitely come back again.

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.

98 Acres Resort is located in an idyllic setting amongst the lush mountainous region of Ella. The view from our villa, and especially from reception, is spectacular. When we checked into the hotel, there was a lovely Hindu welcome ceremony. The villa itself was quite comfortable but I would not say that it was luxurious. Even though 98 Acres Resort is set in a fairly remote region, our villa had no problem with hot water or the shower’s water pressure. Breakfast was good with ample offerings.

The views from our room (306) were absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is peaceful and quiet, which is a top priority for us—and features an amazing terrace overlooking Ella Rock. We highly recommend catching the sunrise from your room or the terrace for a truly unforgettable experience. The breakfast buffet at the Sky Bar was good, offering a mix of Sri Lankan and continental options.
