10/10 Excellent

"This property has beautiful views all around, and you can even see the Ella train passing by from the room. Thanks to its location, the property is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, making it an ideal place for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly accommodating, welcoming, and excellent hosts. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Ella!"

Elevate Ella Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent new hotel with superb rooms (room 6 for three). Great heated pool and good value food and drink (swim up bar). Not an issue for us but you'll need to deal with steps to stay here. As you may expect halfway up a hillside. Sensational views btw"

The Cubes Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Peaceful location a short distance from the busy town centre. Breakfasts and dinner were excellent and large portions. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Laundry service was fast and inexpensive, with a 24 hour turnaround"

Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional Stay with Breathtaking Views and World-Class Hospitality Heaven Breeze Hotel is truly a gem in Ella. Set at a higher elevation, the hotel offers spectacular mountain views that make the stay feel like a retreat in the clouds, while still being very close to the beautiful and lively town of Ella. Its location is also ideal for exploring nearby attractions, including Little Adam’s Peak and Ravana Ella. What made our stay especially memorable was the outstanding hospitality. A special thank you to Sachini, who provided truly world-class guest service with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful breakfast service. The staff asked us the night before what we would prefer for breakfast, and everything was prepared fresh and served right on time. A beautiful location, stunning views, wonderful staff, and exceptional service—Heaven Breeze Hotel is highly recommended for anyone visiting Ella. We would happily stay here again!"

Poomaz Peace Palace - Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and great host."

Hotel Alta Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel but be aware there is an MASSIVE 300 metre hill that is very very steep to get to the entrance. Do not go here if you are old, have bad knees or are not very physically fit. On top of this, there are 8 floors and no lift, so many many stairs. This is the only issue we had, other than that a great place to say and dead central in ella."

98 Acres Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place. Can’t fault a single thing. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and it was amazing. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Always ready to help with a buggy. Spa was amazing in a very scenic set up. Secluded yet just a few mins drive to main city centre. Pool area is nice but the pool is rather small. Breakfast is very good, made to order. Complimentary guided trek to little Adams peak just behind the resort. They gave discount vouchers for Ravana pool club and zip lining but we didn’t have time to try. Overall fully recommend."

Ella Green Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Greeted by friendly staff who showed me to glean bright room. Quiet comfortable stay with delicious local breakfast. "

Misty Hills Ella Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly helpful warm and welcoming. The views were amazing from our room; from welcome area and pool area. Definitely recommend this place. The room was spacious and clean. Location was 1 km from ella so approx 500 SR to get to town (uphill!) but an easy walk ( downhill ) to get back !!"
