Amazing stay a 5-10 min walk on the train tracks from the main town of Ella. Relaxing stay with a beautiful view over Ella rock and the valley. Great hospitality!! I don’t remember the name now but the guy who works there is such a friendly and kind human being :)

The place is so peaceful and serene. We loved the bed in the trees for relaxing! It is in a great location, just a short tuk tuk ride from Ella town and other main attractions. The staff are great - particularly Suren who made our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive to every detail. It was the best breakfast we’ve had so far in Sri Lanka. The room was very comfortable and cozy. Highly recommended!

Nine Skies is the definition of boutique luxury. It is a small hotel with only 5 rooms and the service we received from all the staff was truly so personable this really felt like a home away from home. The design of the whole hotel is beautiful with a wonderful living room, with a cosy fire in the evenings, and our suite room was beautiful with a terrace. The pool has an amazing view over the tea plantation. All the meals we had were delicious. Our host was very friendly and helpful, organising day trips for us and setting up our own table with lots of candles for dinner by the pool one evening, and also set up our own private breakfast at a look out point which were both lovely experiences. This hotel is brilliant if you want a very quiet, secluded spot in the Hill Country with excellent service and food. It is an expensive hotel but it is worth the money.

Staying at Wood Palace in Ella was one of the highlights of my trip. The location is perfect — it feels like you’re tucked away in the jungle, surrounded by nature and total peace, yet you’re only a short stroll from town, cafes, and everything you need. That balance between seclusion and convenience is hard to find, but this place nails it. The family who runs it make the stay extra special. The mother who prepares breakfast is absolutely adorable — she cooks with such care, and her warm smile makes every morning brighter. The breakfasts themselves are delicious, fresh, and generous. The owner is a great bloke too — kind, genuine, and always ready to help with tips, directions, or just a good chat. If you want a stay in Ella that feels authentic, welcoming, and beautifully set in nature without being far from the action, Wood Palace is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🌿✨

I loved the beautiful view from the hostel. It is located about 10-15 mins from Ella city center, worth the little walk. The beds are perfect - curtains provide for absolute privacy, and I think the beds are a little wider than usual. There is a lamp and socket by each bed, and everyone has a big storage to lock personal things, my onboard size suitcase fitted in it easily. The bathroom is ok. I also appreciated the possibility to get hot water any time from the machine by reception, to make a hot drink. The breakfast included in the price is definitely sufficient. Great value for money.

The facilities are amazing! We were so impressed by the gym and the activities on site. The staff couldn’t do more for us if they tried, they simply made the experience outstanding. We did a cooking class on site and i highly recommend to try it! AND the food was out of this world! Everything is made fresh and produce is farmed on site! The chef’s went out of their way to made a Sri Lankan desert we mentioned we liked and the ice cream is homemade!!!! Unreal!
