Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel

Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel

📍 Ella - Passara Rd, Ella
★★★ 8.6 (47 reviews)

"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."

Ella Nature Life Guest and Restaurant

Ella Nature Life Guest and Restaurant

📍 Ella Nature Life Guest and restaurant, 07th mile post Diyamadiththa, Ella
★★★ 8.2 (20 reviews)

"The place is a long ride up the mountain on a narrow winding road… (and unfortunately the local PickMe App has no use in Ella!) The food service was good but a bit pricey for the area of Sri Lanka. The “Single Room“ was as rather small and had an all glass “front door” and there was no fan or air conditioning… so with the open ventilation ducts most conversations from anywhere in the building could be heard inside of the room… Overall it was pleasant but not as nice as I had imagined from the listing…"

📍 Wellawaya-Ella-Kumbalwela Hwy, Ella
★★★ 8.1 (26 reviews)

"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"

📍 Waterfall Rd, Ella
★★★ 8.4 (11 reviews)

"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

Ella Green Cottages

📍 Waterfall Rd, Ella
★★★ 8.1 (30 reviews)

"The hotel is 200 meters from the railway, which you can walk along to a waterfall and a nine-arch bridge, enjoying stunning mountain views. The balcony overlooks the jungle, and you can watch monkeys hopping through the trees. My room was dirty, renovated in the 19th century. The hotel owner is friendly and welcoming. But he's building another house, so there's construction right outside, noise, and drilling from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m."

"The hotel was a little out of the way, but a beautiful location, and the owner drove me to the city center and picked me up, and also took me to the train station….all for FREE ! The breakfast was amazing (but way too much for one person). I would stay the again."

"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."

"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 ):"

"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"

Alta Vista ★★★
"**"An Outstanding Stay at Alta Vista – Highly Recommended!"**   We had an **absolutely wonderful** experience at Alta Vista, thanks to the **exceptional hospitality** of **Nandan and his team**. The **spacious, well-equipped rooms** (with both fans and AC) provided a **comfortable and relaxing retreat**.   The **breakfast was a highlight** – a **delicious, wide spread** that set the perfect tone for our days. The **prime location** was unbeatable – just a **2-minute walk to the main city center**, with easy access to **trending restaurants and vibrant spots**.   What truly made our stay special was the **attentive service and warm atmosphere**. **Great food, fantastic service, and genuinely caring staff** – we couldn’t have asked for more!   **Highly recommend** Alta Vista for travelers seeking **comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality**. **Thank you for a memorable stay One thing which can make more effective is WhatsApp service. WhatsApp will speed up things. Service was prompt if you have a Srilanka number over phone call."

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."

"Amazing trip to Sri Lanka! Feel free to book 2 nights or more at the Dowa Elegance ! This hotel is an incredible experience! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. An hotel lost in the middle of the mountains, change of scenery assured. We recommend it. Sabine et Magali"
