Spice Ella

We stay here for 3 nights and it was a lovely experience! The rooms were clean and tidy, we got fresh towels each day and new bottles of water! They were happy to tidy the room each day which was the first time we had this on our whole journey in Sri Lanka so was a lovely extra touch for us but we were happy with just new towels and water! They are currently renovating downstairs to build a restaurant so we were a little confused when we first arrived but this did not take away from the experience of the hotel, the staff were super friendly and accommodating! The hotel is in the perfect location on the main road through Ella with bars, restaurants and shops everywhere! With the train station a short 5 min walk everything is accessible. We would 100% recommend to stay here for your trip to Ella

Unfortunately I can’t recommend this hotel. We stayed 2 nights. The rooms are totally different on websites. A renovation is needed. The building was under construction when we arrived and we were a bit shocked and scared. The staff though was truly kind. Tüzde at the reception helped us with an extra bed since the bed for 2 people was very very small. The room was not clean and the curtains were really dirty. The price was not low at all but in Ella the most of the hotels are expensive.

The location was great. Centre of the Ella *****. Owner was welcoming. From the outside looking in, you’d be a bit skeptical because of construction works on the front, however was the best stay for our first night. Brilliant double room, clean and comfy beds. Worth the money!

We stayed at 49 Ella and had a great experience. Despite reaching at 3 AM due to a delayed departure from Colombo, the hotel honored our booking without any advance payment — a gesture we truly appreciated. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and overall, it was a great value-for-money stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ella!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Location 10/10. Rohan the manager was very accomodating and nice. Staff greeted you as you came and went. Cocktails were awesome. Got introduced to the owners brother who was a Sri Lankan cricket captain, great bloke. Enjoyed our stay

Had an excellent breakfast in a very calming atmosphere. The service was top notch specially Mr. Pasan who was very friendly and welcoming. Overall an outstanding place would definitely like to revisit.
