Ella Flower Garden Resort
8.7 (66 reviews)

Ella Flower Garden Resort ★★★★

📍 3rd mile post, passara rd, Ella, Badulla

"Spent 2 nights at this hotel during our holiday. Small comfortable rooms ours had a gorgeous view over the flowers and onto the mountains. Breakfast plentiful We had a very early departure and staff were up to help with bags and provide us with a packed breakfast for the journey! Restaurant is next door - connected to hotel but separate (you can’t add the meal to your room bill) Just note if staying at full moon no alcohol served. Very convenient location for walk to 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s peak and a 15-20 minute walk down to main part of town"

Senu Ceylon Ella
9.8 (7 reviews)

Senu Ceylon Ella ★★★

📍 Madapathana, Kirimatiya, Ella

"We had a pleasant stay at Senu Ceylon Hotel. Breakfast and fried rice are delicious. Room is clean. They can arrange the tours around the city. Krishantha and Abhi are welcoming and they did a great job. Thank you."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella
9.9 (26 reviews)

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★

📍 V3G6+Q75, Ella

"Excellent hotel in the mountains with a wonderful view from the balcony. The room itself is very spacious and well-equipped. The fridge offers free drinks and beer. The breakfast was quite good. The staff met us with a tuk-tuk even though we arrived late and in the rain, as a car couldn't get through. The service was fantastic."

Bridge Front Inn Ella
10 (11 reviews)

Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★

📍 Nine Arch Rd, Ella

"Excellent hotel and location. The views are simply mesmerizing! The people are very hospitable. Yogesh helped with everything! The breakfasts are very filling, almost too much food!"

Misty Hills Ella Resort
8.1 (34 reviews)

Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★

📍 Wellawaya-Ella-Kumbalwela Hwy, Ella

"An excellent location in the heart of the mountains, offering breathtaking views. The city is around 15 mins from the resort and it's very lively with plenty of options for food and having an evening stroll. Transportation with tuk tuk is available at ease. The staff was very friendly and it has a nice infinity pool. "

Viewfront Ella
8.3 (13 reviews)

Viewfront Ella ★★★

📍 Waterfall Rd, 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."

O2 Villas Ella Hotels in Ella

O2 Villas Ella

"It’s a very cozy hotel in the heart of the jungle surrounded by trees and a breathtaking scenery. The rooms are kind of small but still worth it. Very friendly and helpful staff they ordered us a tuk tuk and waited for us even after the breakfast time to make us food. For those who aren’t used to mosquitoes, get some bug spray as you might have like 2 or three in the room but nothing dangerous. Special thanks to Dinith and the team."

Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella Hotels in Ella

Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella

"This relatively new hotel is only 5 minute drive from Ella town and down a steep slope off the main road (well sign posted). This in turn provides you with silence and tranquility in allowing you to have a great night's sleep, which we had. As you arrive the building is eye catching in it's design as it's fairly open planned and of a high standard build. The staff here were very attentive, interested in you and extremely polite (if somewhat new & some appeared to be recently trained ie nervous). We stayed for two nights and the hotel wasn't busy so it was fairly quiet which to be fair suited us. As it's fairly new, some minor works were still taking place (although not early morning or late evening), however did prevent us from using the pool, but we did understand though that the work was necessary to further enhance the hotel. The breakfast was beside the outdoor pool with amazing views and it's an excellent breakfast with good variety of choices, well presented by their kitchen. The rooms are a very good size, big bathroom, large bed and great balcony with unbelievable views over the countryside and the temple on the mountain above. Our room was extremely clean with all amenities provided (nice touch in staff turning your bed down each evening). I would fully recommend this hotel as it's unique in its style and presentation with attentive staff and luxurious rooms in an amazing location."

Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel Hotels in Ella

Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel

"Beautiful location close to the main strip and easy access to all the restaurants. Rooms are nice and tidy. Value for money is good here and has access to a mini bar in your room. Slight road noise but that stops at night. Great atmosphere with western music being played on a speaker. Short walk to 9 arches bridge and mini adams peak. We did the sunrise and took us 45 minutes to reach the peak. Service for breakfast was good with a large buffet selection, Nalaka was our host and was very good."

Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella Hotels in Ella

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."

Nine Arch Jungle Inn Hotels in Ella

Nine Arch Jungle Inn

"A couple of rooms in a house located directly across from the Nine Arch Bridge, surrounded by forest. Clean and well-appointed rooms, very good and plentiful breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the bridge and watching the trains clatter by. Very friendly and attentive service. The only downside is that to reach the main road, you have to walk down a very steep path that can only be accessed by Tuk-Tuks; make sure you have a flashlight...or a charged phone for the evening!"

Duet Hearts Hotels in Ella

Duet Hearts

"This place is a little gem! The room is newly decorated and the same goes for the bathroom. Aircon and Wi-Fi are working great. Everything is spotless clean and super comfortable. You wake up in paradise and breakfast is just delicious. But moreover is the courtesy and kindness of the hosts that makes the difference. We have been treated with gloves, we couldn't ask for more. The location is excellent for exploring Ella and the surroundings but in a quiet corner of the town. And they also offer an exceptional car service to move around and/or to your next destination. I cannot recommend more this place, the best stay we had in Sri Lanka!!!"

EKHO Ella Hotels in Ella

EKHO Ella

"A very poor experience. While you wouldn't expect much in a tourist area for 2,000 yuan a night, the soundproofing was extremely poor and the hotel was located right next to the road, making the clatter of cars clear and loud even early in the morning. The windows were the worst kind of striped blinds, with huge gaps between them, effectively blocking out any light. The hot water was alternately hot and cold, making you scream with both cold and heat. The strange, large spider in the room wasn't worth mentioning. The only positive thing was the restaurant, situated on the cliffside, with a beautiful view."

Ella Alpine Resort Hotels in Ella

Ella Alpine Resort

"We arrived tired and out of sorts, but we were greeted so warmly that our spirits immediately improved. The hosts gave us tea, chatted in a homely way - you feel like a welcome guest, not a client. The hotel is on top of a mountain, and each room has an exit to a terrace with a stunning view. You wake up in the morning - and in front of you there are only mountains and silence. The room is clean, cozy, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Breakfast was prepared especially for our preferences: fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast, even smoothies! The staff is not formally polite, but truly kind. If you want to not just spend the night, but feel cared for and relax your soul - this is definitely your place. I want to come back again and recommend it to everyone. Many thanks to the hosts for such an atmosphere!"

"Room was clean & spacious. Abit hard to drive up to but the view makes up for it (you can see the railway tracks from the villa). Service was also great, very helpful. Hotel breakfast was very nice. Very relaxing environment, recommend for those who want a little getaway."

Lakshmis Hotel Ella Hotels in Ella

Lakshmis Hotel Ella

"Very accommodating. Can't do enough for you. Would come back time again. Very good breakfast Lovely clean room The hotel is only a very short easy walk to the town centre, but the last 10 yards to hotel is very steep we're not young but managed. The owners Laksmis and Kurt and all their staff are 1st class 👏"

Ella Retreat Hotels in Ella

Ella Retreat

"Our stay at Ell Retreat was nothing short of serene. The atmosphere was very peaceful. The room and the linen were immaculately clean and spotless, which made our stay even more comfortable. The food was delicious and satisfying, adding to the overall experience. A special mention must go to Kushan from the staff, his warm and homely service truly stood out. He made us feel right at home with his attentiveness and kind demeanor. We’re looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking tranquility and excellent service!"

Ravana Range Ella ★★★
"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."

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 ★★★
"Perfect Stay in the Heart of Ella! We recently stayed at Bridge Front Inn and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything about this place is excellent. The staff here are incredibly attentive and friendly; they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We were greeted with a complimentary freshly made passion fruit juice, which was a delicious way to start our stay. The location is simply ideal — right next to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, making it super convenient for exploring Ella's main attractions on foot. Although we didn't use their shuttle service because we weren't aware of it when booking, the owner kindly agreed to drive us to a restaurant one evening, showing true hospitality. The food was another highlight, absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet deserves a special mention as there is an enormous selection of dishes to choose from. Our room was spotlessly clean with fresh bed linen and brilliantly white towels. Highly recommended!"

Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★
"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience my family and my friend's family had during our visit to Misty Villas on 14th August. Misty Villas is truly a beautiful place. We were greeted with a warm welcome, and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, and every one was very friendly and accommodating to the guest. The rooms were luxurious, truly comparable to a 5 star hotel. I would especially like to commend Mr. Roshan, the manager. Who was incredibly kind, friendly, helpful and lovely. His expetional service made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you once again for providing such a memorable experience. Krishan Rukmal."

Alta Vista ★★★
"The breakfast included in the booking was very tasty, varied, and served buffet-style, with freshly prepared egg dishes (scrambled eggs, omelets, etc.) (see photos 1 & 2). The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotel owner speaks decent English. The room was lovely with a great view and access to a terrace (see photo 3). However, due to the very central location (which is very advantageous overall) and the thin walls, sleeping was a bit difficult. Furthermore, you should always expect mosquitoes at night, as the room isn't completely airtight (see photo 4). Unfortunately, there's no hairdryer, even though it's listed as an amenity. Overall, though, a very nice and pleasant hotel."
