Magical peaceful space set about 2k from the city of Ella, with a short tuck tuck ride to the city centre. A family run business who was so kind and nice. A big, healthy breakfast. A large double room with a big private balcony. Really comfortable bed. Would highly recommend for people who don't want to be in the madness and loudness of Ella. The owner arranged everything for us. He even recommended a lovely restaurant and dropped us to the door.

Since I am not a fan of busy tourist places, the Maridian was the perfect place for me. It's worth the time to travel here, the view is spectacular. If I had more days to spend I would 100% have stayed longer.

Amazing host , room and location! Host was very nice, he prepared for us a great breakfast. We were so full we didn't feel the need to have lunch after. The room is very clean and has a lot of charm . The bathroom is spacious and clean. We slept really well since the location is very peaceful but still on a walking distance to all best nightlife. AC and insect repellent were a great plus. Best value for many ! Exceeded our expectation and we will definitely come back again!

When we give it a 10 out of 10, it is not because it is a luxury accomodation, but because it is value for money. Big cozy rooms, clean upon arrival, nice breakfast. Something different every day. Each day fresh juice. They even catered to 2 of us being glutenfree. Settled in the most amazing nature with views of the waterfall. The best location was top room to the right. Only a 10-12 minute walk to town as many others have described. Very nice family even though Senu is the only one who speaks good english. We can definately recommend this amazing homestay.

A very nice hotel in Ella. The rooms are large and clean. The manager is extremely friendly and courteous. He always asks if everything is okay and responds immediately to any requests. The breakfast is delicious and offers a wide selection of local and international specialties. The hotel is in a great location. It is secluded, so you can enjoy peace and quiet, but the main street is only a few minutes' walk away. The view is spectacular. We would definitely come back again.

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.

We loved the Mountain View’s.

We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

We had a fantastic experience at Moi Ella by DBI. The hotel offers a perfect mix of luxury and comfort, with stylish, well-appointed rooms and attentive service. The modern decor is sleek and welcoming, and the amenities are top-notch. The on-site restaurant serves delicious meals, and the location is ideal for exploring the area. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking for a relaxing, upscale stay. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was amazing, really top-notch! The view was beautiful, and the sound of birds made it so peaceful. We came here for our honeymoon, wanting something different from the usual hotels and buildings, and this place was such a special experience.
