Hotel Onrock, hotel in Ella

Staff were very professional and friendly. Location was great just a short walk up a hill from the main strip in a quiet area. Also very close to most of the attractions in the area which is helpful if you want to reduce $$ on transport. The property were also very accomodating with our dates of stay given some unexpected circumstances.

98 Acres Resort & Spa, hotel in Ella

Featuring the luxurious comforts of a boutique hotel, 98 Acres Resort & Spa is set in Ella amidst a stunning landscape also known as the 98 acre tea estate.

The best hotel I've ever stayed with. The views are incredible. The experience of staying essentially in a tree house was so much fun. The breakfast food was the best meal I've had in my entire Sri Lankan trip.

    Ella is a tourist town, so many of the activities and services are geared for tourists. The variety of restaurants is wide with options from around the world. Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area.

    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery. Loved arriving here with the train, meeting other travellers and eating plenty of delicious food :) Will come back soon, next time for longer because there is so much more to see.

    Great location with a beautiful view. Breakfast in great portion and delicious. Room was spacious and good for the value. Nimal is one of the best hosts in the business; he sent a list of things he could help with before we got to his hotel and indeed he booked a trip for us to Yala National Park and Diyaluma Falls. He even helped us with finding a ride from Ella to our next stop, what more could we ask for? We enjoyed his conversation during our stay for 3 days in Ella and genuinely thank his supportive and helpful attitude during our stay.

    Lovely stay at W1 Ella, hosts were fantastic and very accommodating. The views from the veranda were stunning too! Very comfy beds and good facilities. Also huge breakfasts! You can walk to Ella Rock from here, along the train track and also into town. Lots of bars, restaurants etc close by, around a 15-20 minute walk. Make sure you have more than just flip flops with you. Beware, the road leading up to the hotel is not suitable for any cars. You can rent mopeds or a tuk tuk will take you up there but definitely don’t drive a car!

    We spent only one night in this beautiful hotel, located in a top of a mountain and 200m from the city centre, kavish and his team assisted us with everything what we wanted, they kept the kitchen open for bit late so that we could order food after we arrived late at night. Food was so delicious, and the breakfast too They helped us to book tuk tuk to get down to ella Town. This place deserves five stars for everything

    We had a wonderful stay at Ella Planters Bangalow, greeted by friendly staff and a large room. The hotel is located in a hill with a lovely view of the mountains and there is a swing hidden at the end of the property which you can ride with a panorama view. We loved the breakfast which was a combination of western and local flavors. Overall a cozy, hidden gem we were glad we discovered and would highly recommend.

We had a great time at the hotel and in Ella in general. He even arranged a taxi from Ella to the hotel and you can ask for him to arrange a taxi for a cheaper price. I highly recommend Hights and definitely we will come again!

    Best view in Ella, hotel is literally on top of the hill. Really nice rooftop with a pool, room was comfortable and they had free water and toiletries. Breakfast was nice and the staff was very accomodating because they let us have early breakfast the day we were leaving. Staff would also bring us up and down the hill in their shuttle which was very convenient.
