I really enjoyed the Little Adam’s Peak adventure area. The hotel I stayed at was in such a beautiful location — not just in one place, but surrounded by lovely views and a very nice environment all around.

One of our favourite places in SL, had much more of a town feel. It is touristy but just means lots of place to eat. The hikes are amazing and were one of our favourite parts of our trip. Beware the scammers when going up Ella rock - it's a little confusing to find the path and locals will try to lead you away from the main path to 'guide' you

Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

People are really friendly and welcome tourists.

People are really friendly and welcome tourists. City is very small, but attractive. The 9 arches bridge is a place everyone would like to visit. Food available in the restaurants are really testy in a reasonable price. The train ride to ella was a memorable one.

It is very safe and tourist-friendly, nice climate. not hot, not tool, cold. Nice view of the mountains. Lot of foreigners. Food and services are mostly for foreigners which is not too hot, a good mix of local and international food, but very reasonably priced.

I recently stayed at a wonderful hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka, and had an amazing experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. The highlight of my stay was the host, Dulshan, who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He went above and beyond to arrange everything I needed, from transportation to local tours and recommendations for the best spots in town. If you’re looking for a great place to stay with top-notch hospitality, I highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. And we got very lucky to actually discover it, after not-so impressive stay at another location in Ella. Our top floor penthouse offered unparalelled views on the valley and nearby falls, worth every penny. Our room was brand new, tasteful, comfy and very clean. Breakfast was a real delight, and one would love to sip coffee for long hours while seating on the terrace. Hotel staff was very helpful, they truly wanted to make our stay memorable and went extra mile to take good care of us.

During our trip to Sri Lanka, we stayed in all sorts of places from hostels to luxury resorts. This homestay was by far our favorite! Chandy was very hospitable and felt a little like our mom away from home. The room was very clean and tidy. The breakfasts every day, delicious (shout out to her homemade pancakes). Also her husband did not mind to drive us into Ella town with his tuk tuk. The view from the porch is amazing! Please go here, you will not be sorry!

We would like to thank all the staff. We had a wonderful stay. The luxury consisted of the great breakfast and the warmth of everyone on the premises. Our son really enjoyed the two dogs and the cat. We felt completely at home and very well looked after. We particularly recommend a treatment in the hotel's own lovingly designed spa.
