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
"Although the location is a little inaccessible, that’s how the beautiful view of train coming out from tunnel can be seen. And the inaccessible location is overly compensated by the service, there is TukTuk to fetch you from Ella Town or Ella station when you arrive. During your stay, they fetched us back from Ella town after dinner around 9pm to the accommodation for the convenience. Also upon check out, they sent us back to Ella station. So, you can to enjoy the view in absolute nature without compromising the convenience. Absolutely love the place. Just walking distance to 9 Arch."
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!"
Moi Ella by DBI
"The welcoming and staff are amazing and so is the dinner; however, the hotel is really far from downtown. My room was small but okay, it had a nice balcony with mountain view. The bathroom is big, but it flooded everytime I took a shower since there is no shower curtains or box. Watch out: the floor becomes very slippery! They did not clean my room or even asked me if I wanted it to be cleaned. I asked them for a silent room (my only request) and the front desk girl gave me a room over the restaurant which means noise started at 6:30am ):"
Ella Nature Nest
"The number listed in the contacts is not valid, but they waited for us and checked us in. There is parking for one car, but then you have to go down the stairs on foot, about 50 steps! The water was hot, and there was a mosquito net too! There is breakfast, but if there are men in the company, it is better to stock up on something else for refreshment)"
Senu Ceylon Ella
Velora Hill Ella
"A warm welcome, a wonderful, filling breakfast, and especially delicious coffee. A modern, clean room with a mountain view. I highly recommend it!"
Poomaz Peace Palace - Ella
"Stayed at the super villa category and must say it is a huge room . The place is just steps from main street . Poorna is very caring homestay owner. Poorna has taken care of us smilingly . Must recommended for all tourists if looking for a clean property near the main street."
Ella Nature Life Guest and Restaurant
"The basic facilities in the room are relatively simple. There is no air conditioning, only a fan. There is no hot water for showering. The location is also a distance from the main road. If you ride a motorcycle, the price-performance ratio is good. It is suitable for one person to spend a night in Ella"

Misty Hills Ella Resort
"Hotel situated just off the main road. It was fabulous stay. recently done lot of renovations. comfortable bed. beautiful sun rice in the morning. very good service. very good breakfast. Good looking pool. unfortunately we had no time to dip."
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."
Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella
"We stayed here for 1 night at the end of May'26. We are af amily of 4. Hence got a large look with 2 queen beds. The room had a very good view of the hills around. POsitives: 1. New hotel where everything is clean. 2. Very good views 3. Nice infinity pool 4. Excellent food. Hotel was flexible to convert our breakfast into a set menu lunch as we were delayed (after coming back from a hike and the 9 arches bridge). 5. The Sri Lankan lunch dished out by Chef Mr. Asela was the BEST food we had in our entire Sri Lanak trip of 8 days and 7 nights. He was attentive and dished this lunch for us instead of breakfast. This was an excellent meal 6. Traditional welcome was nice Negatives: 1. Located about 300-400 mtrs down the main road where your normal van wont go. Small cars can go. 2. You have to message the hotel to send their Tuktuk to pick you up from the road. 3. Slightly outside town, not much though about a 5 mins Tuktuk ride. BUt I dont think th enegatives are much. This is a lovely hotel. recommended."
Dowa Elegance Resort
"We stayed here two nights. It is a small ride to get to the hotel, but the hotel itself is totally worth it! We were welcomed friendly and they provide you with a whatsapp number to provide your dinner/breakfast preferences. If you need anything, they respond quickly. Food is good and plenty of choice. For breakfast you can choose between western and Sri Lankan food."
Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel
"Very convenient location, good environment, and a decent breakfast."
Amado Homestay (Family room)
"My accommodation in Amado homestay was the best we had in Sri Lanka! Very clean, beautiful with amazing view and so delicious breakfast!! The family is so kind and warm hearted. If you are looking a cozy and comfortable stay in Ella , you choose this homestay for sure ✔️"
Ella Dream Catcher Resort
"Very good place to stay with awesome views. The staff took great care off us. Only downside to gaving good views the location is quite far from the city centre. So pick me and uber drivers won't take any rides since the app prices are way cheaper so no choice but to pay tourist fares. Room as an electric fan but AC would have been nice."
Ella Retreat
"A beautifully run place in the midst of nature. The manager Shri was a very kind host who made our stay so very pleasant and relaxed. Highly recommended for those travelers who want to wake up to the sound and view of a waterfall, monkeys jumping overhead in the trees and close to, yet far enough removed from the tourist hustle in Ella."
Hotel Onrock
"Definitely gotta be one of the best hotels in Ella, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious, and the view is even better, I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Ella"
O2 Villas Ella
"Brilliant hotel with attentive staff. The food and drinks manager and service was second to none."
Ella Flower Garden Resort
"Ella Flower Garden Resort Hotel is located in the central city street of Ella, Sri Lanka, very close to 98 Swimming and Entertainment Center and Adam's Peak. The location is okay and the breakfast is average."
