Ravana Range Ella ★★★
"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."
Ella Flower Garden Resort ★★★★
"This hotel is worth staying for the stunning mountain views alone. Otherwise, the rooms are a bit dirty, especially the bathroom, with lots of dead insects on the curtains. The bathroom lacks even basic amenities (soap dish, glass for toothbrushes, etc.). There were mosquitoes in the room upon check-in. The staff didn't seem particularly concerned."
Senu Ceylon Ella ★★★
"Great view can see little Adam’s peak and Ella rock from balcony delicious breakfast and dinner, Aruna can help with any arrangements you need"
Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★
"This place is beautiful. Right in the Ella jungle, with an incredible view. The room was beautiful - new, spacious and well equipped with everythng you'd need. It is literally a four minute walk from the Nine Arches Bridge. Getting into and out of town was easy - they offer a free tuk tuk service. The breakfast was very generous indeed and you will not go shy of fresh fruit! The two guys looking after the place were amazing - so kind and attentive; they will look after you. Solid recommend."
Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★
"The location was absolutely stunning in the heart of the jungle but only a short walk to the nine arch bridge (you can even see the train passing through the trees during the day). The bird song and jungle noise was so peaceful, the rooms were clean, quality bedding and well thought out little touches in terms of toiletries (even some books on the shelf). The breakfast was delicious and so much food! But most importantly to note Yugesh was fantastic at attending to our needs whether that be to organise our laundry to be sent out and cleaned, making sure we had everything we needed for breakfast or coming with us on the walk to the bridge to get the best spots to film the train crossing, pictures etc. He was very kind, professional and thoughtful, he really made our trip. Another person to note was Nimal, the TukTuk driver who helped us easily get about. Free shuttle to Ella town from the hotel which is great! Anything else at an extra cost. Highly recommend this unique stay."
Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★
"Overall we are satisfied. The renovated rooms are comfortable and spacious. The beds are great, and breakfast is good (even if the food is sometimes cold). Just be aware that the hotel is still undergoing renovations, so make sure to request a renovated room. We stayed the first night in a non-renovated room: the air conditioning was broken, the fan was noisy and impossible to use at night, the fridge was constantly running, and the safe didn’t work. We asked to change rooms, and they accommodated us the next day. The staff are friendly as well. The hotel is located a little outside Ella, which is actually a plus since the town can be noisy. And of course, the best feature of this place is the incredible view of the valley and Ella Rock! I would definitely go back to Misty Hills if I return to Ella."
Viewfront Ella ★★★
"Stay away from this hotel! The hotel rooms isn’t what’s pictured on booking sites, the entrance is through a forest on a mountain and through other buildings. The walls is stained, door is leaking, and the room are nasty. The entrance pathway crumbled under me so a nail went through my foot and got several scratches. It is NOT a hotel, not even a bungalow. I would rather sleep with the homeless dogs than stay there one night. We checked out 30 minutes after we checked in. At least the manager was nice enough to give a full refund and drive us to another hotel."
Ella Green Cottages ★★★
"This hotel is very much in the jungle and has spacious rooms close to Ella town. The staff are very helpful"
Alta Vista ★★★
"Service was top notch but it’s located on a hill. Even though the entrance to the hotel is on the main Ella street, it takes a lot of effort to walk up the steep slopes up to the hotel. The decoration is also very dated. Views are great but it’s just a very old hotel that I don’t feel comfortable in"

Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel
"Hotel is in the very center of Ella with markets, bars and nice restaurant just few steps away. It is clean and food is delicious with wast self service options. Staff gives a warm welcome, they are all very nice, especially lady Vijaya who made our room clean and nice ss a home. Highly recommend."
Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella
"Almost brand new hotel just out of Ella over looking tea plantations and countryside. It was fantastic. Breakfast buffet lovely and rooms were a good size. Nice to be a little out of the town and an easy tuktuk ride to town."
Moi Ella by DBI
"This hotel is basic. No duvet in the room, apparently you have to request one. Nice welcome tea and some local snacks while waiting to check in but beware there are still mosquitoes around despite the cooler temperature. I got bitten twice whilst waiting to check in. I was put on the ground floor with a view of the car park which was disappointing given the incredible views on offer of Ella from the rooms higher up. They have a swimming pool from what I can tell is a bit cold! The omelette at breakfast was good and they found me some green tea when I asked for it. The buffet at dinner was ok and included slices of pizza. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all I imagine this hotel offers great views but it is way too far out from the centre of Ella so if you plan to go into town in the evening you’re looking at paying around 5,000 rupees for a taxi to take you, wait there for you and bring you back. So unless you’re there for a specific reason I’d stay closer to all the shops and bars in town."
O2 Villas Ella
"Very Good place amazing. Danith and the team served us very well and they are professional. The room is clean and the hospitality is great. I highly recommend the place."
Tea Garden Holiday Inn
"We had a confirmed booking at “Tea Garden Holiday Inn” in Ella, but on arrival at 7 PM om 20th April, (after informing them in advance), the host /manager refused check-in, saying it’s “not suitable for elderly people.” This was never mentioned during booking, despite us having elderly family members and an infant. We were left stranded at night after a long journey. The host also misled us to another property claiming it was theirs, which turned out to be false and more expensive. Very unprofessional and irresponsible. I would not recommend this place."
Tea Ridge Ella by Sans
"The place is great the staff are friendly . Breakfast was hot and time upon request thank you for hospitality. My issue is : I had to repay cash my staying , knowing im already prepaid it online . Now i have refund request ongoing, hoping it will closed soon . My whole trip schedule changed and plan due to my current budget ."
Uga Ghiri - Ella - All Inclusive
"We arrived to celebrate my Dad’s Birthday on 26/07/26. The Birthday welcome was excellent. Our two days at UGA GHIRI felt like gentle escape into a peaceful dream. It was a perfect staycation for a relaxed getaway. It’s a very well maintained cozy Hotel surrounded by the hills beauty and excellent breathing of Ella. Every moment was filled with a friendly smile, calm, warmth and joy. It wasn’t just a stay - it is a feeling we will carry in our hearts for a very long time. Leaving this place was truly the hardest part. We are especially grateful to the whole staff, their team effort, their wonderful care with the welcoming friendly smiles, delicious healthy meals made our stay even more special. We greatly appreciate and are thankful to the Joint Venture Management of Uga Ghiri for introducing this all inclusive experience to this eco friendly tourist area. All the very best to Uga Ghiri. May God Bless your Esteemed Establishment. Prashanth together with my parents, Shiranthie & Tilak Sylva (Captain, SriLankan Airlines)"
Mum Jungle Inn
"Wonderful accommodation in a peaceful environment next to the train station. The room was clean and comfortable. What's more, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would go back there with no hesitation."
Greenland Villa Ella
"We had a wonderful stay at Greenland Villa. It is perfectly located right next to the Kithal Ella train station, from which you can directly board the famous train that goes through the nine arch bridge. The property was beautiful, very well equipped with everything we needed including a great kitchen. It was clean, well ventilated, and more importantly it felt like home. The owner took time to decorate it with great taste. On top of that he was such a humble and polite person.Upon arrival he gave us a ride to get our groceries; another day he brought us his homegrown vegetables, which was such a nice gesture. Having said that, there were a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. The WiFi connection was not great, probably because of the location, but we struggled with it. And the breakfast was very carb-heavy, which may work for you but wasn't particularly to our liking. Nonetheless, We would book it again if I ever come back to Ella. We can only recommend Greenland villa highly."
Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella
"As expected from a location at the highest point of Ella, the view is the best! .. However, due to the surrounding chaotic development, the roads are narrow and steep, so driving there is thrilling ㅜㅜ.. Since it is still under construction, only the first floor and some facilities are open, and ingredients are not yet fully prepared.. The staff try to be friendly, but charging that price in the current state is excessive."
Ella Walkers Nest
"The hotel is well located, next to a store. Breakfasts are delicious. The only disappointing thing was that they gave me a room downgraded (I didn't realize it at first, but once we checked in, I didn't want to argue; it was only one night)."
Mango Shadow Inn Ella
"It's true that this guesthouse is a bit out of town (a small road). But what peace and quiet, and what authenticity! I really appreciated the warm welcome from this dedicated gentleman. And what a pleasure it was to wake up and discover this place nestled in the heart of the forest. My best breakfast of my entire stay in Sri Lanka, with a view of the mountains and lush vegetation. The room, with its original decor ;-) is very clean and offers all the essential amenities (great Wi-Fi, hairdryer, blankets—essential in this cool mountain spot...). But above all, it's authentic, and the gentleman is lovely and incredibly attentive. He truly deserves to work more. I will definitely return. It's a welcome change from hotels!"
Ella Alpine Resort
"We usually stay in higher-end hotels, but our stay here was incredibly comfortable despite the seemingly simple and modest interior. The owner, Priyanatha, is a very friendly and pleasant person, always ready to help and resolve any issues. We stayed in January and slept with the door ajar all night; the temperature was comfortable, and insects didn't bother us."
Velora Hill Ella
"everything is great, good owners"
Poomaz Peace Palace - Ella
"The host is very nice and welcoming and easy to talk to since he speaks good English. room is clean, the location is exactly what we wanted- The place is close to the Main Street but in a quiet area. Breakfast was great and varied, we really enjoyed it!"
Ella Retreat
"The hotel is really nice, we woke up by the sound of monkeys in the trees (best alarm you can have). If you visit please try a cooking class with shenu! She is very kind and the food is amazing! Also you can swim in the waterfall closeby which is a very refreshing experience. Groetjes!"
