Ravana Range Ella

Overall, the property is excellent, and the view is stunning, just 10 minutes from the city center. The restaurant is moderately expensive for the portion size, but the quality is very good! Plus, the staff is very kind and helpful!

The hotel was a bit hard to find. We stopped the car and the driver called for someone to pick us up, but no one came after waiting for about ten minutes, so the driver had to call again. The room was very small, and the swimming pool water was murky. We booked dinner, but it was a very simple buffet with only a few dishes. Among all the accommodations during our 9-day island tour, this guesthouse was the smallest and had the most basic facilities. However, the mountain view from the room was quite nice.

We booked a room with 2 king-size beds, and the condition did not meet Western standards. The entire room needs a complete renovation (mold everywhere!), and the cleanliness was also unsatisfactory. Our air conditioning was so loud that we couldn't leave it on at night (not necessary at 20 degrees anyway), and while the front desk staff did try to resolve the issue, they didn't take it seriously enough in the end. What I would like to highlight positively was the restaurant staff; the chef cooked wonderfully, and the waiters were super friendly and did their best.

The views are absolutely stunning, you can see both Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. The terrace is spacious and private, and the room itself is large. There's also a pool, and the staff are very friendly. Once you get used to it, the walk up the hill isn't that far.

The hotel is located halfway up a hill, requiring a turn off the main road onto a very narrow and steep path. A 7-seater car can't make it down, so you'll need to take a tuk-tuk. This guesthouse-style hotel has exceptionally friendly staff; they always greet you with a smile. It truly offered the best service throughout our entire Sri Lanka trip. The hotel views are indeed stunning, offering a clear sight of Little Adam's Peak. The food was decent; dinner wasn't a buffet but a set menu where you could choose from a few options, and the taste was fine. However, the rooms definitely need improvement. Firstly, pest control was inadequate; ants crawled on me several times while I was sleeping. Secondly, the bedsheets didn't feel very clean; they seemed unwashed and rather flimsy. Lastly, it would be much better if they provided a proper duvet instead of just a sheet and a blanket.

Excellent hotel with a beautiful view. Very friendly staff. Great breakfasts and dinners. I recommend this hotel. The room is spacious. The beds are comfortable. In the morning at sunrise, there are beautiful views of the mountains. By the pool, there's a mini-bar where you can order beer, snacks, cocktails – everything you need. We loved everything. It's close to the city center where all the cafes and restaurants are, and not far from the Nine Arch Bridge. Choose this hotel, you won't regret it.
