The location is amazing—I don’t think I’ve ever slept in a better place than this. I was right in the heart of nature, far from traffic and the city center. There’s a stunning waterfall right in front, and birds sing all day long, including MANY peacocks. The owner and his brother are fantastic—always available and doing their best to help. I had a medical issue during my vacation, and they were incredibly kind and helpful. I truly appreciated it.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. Tucked away in the hill country, this charming little town offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. Surrounded by lush green tea plantations, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls, it feels like stepping into a postcard. One of the best things about Ella is how laid-back and peaceful it is, yet there's so much to explore. Whether you're hiking up Little Adam’s Peak or the iconic Ella Rock, walking across the Nine Arches Bridge, or just enjoying a quiet tea with panoramic views, every moment feels special. The town itself is small but full of character, with cozy cafés, local restaurants, and friendly people. It’s also very traveler-friendly, making it easy to get around or find a good place to stay. And let’s not forget the cool mountain air—a refreshing change from the tropical heat in other parts of Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, Ella is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a nature lover, a backpacker, or just someone looking to unwind in a scenic spot, Ella will leave you with memories you'll never forget.

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    Very friendly and vibrant town.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Ella is a small town with breathtaking views and well organized place for tourists, If you are a nature lover and looking for a good quality time of enjoying hikes / mountains / zip lines / pictures with your family for a good prize , Ella is the place. Very safe for solo travelers too. Don't expect 5 stay luxury restaurants / high class bars etc. Lots of sign boards around guiding tourists to select the places they like to visit. Tuk tuk prizes are fixed for most places. don't forget to take a dip in fresh waters Ella offers in high mountain water falls.

    If you are into luxury stays and instagram quality rooms this place is not for you. This place is.very affordable, cosy, family run house that is directly in the city of Ella. Rooms are adequate with.ensuite in all three rooms. Large fridge is available. Sudha, the owner, is lovely and spent time to chat with us. She is.very friendly and helpful and also prepares the awesome breakfasts we had. It is a two minute walk to the centre and four minutes to the train station. Highly recommend.

    This is an excellent hotel. We struggled in Ella because there are so many options and it's hard to tell from photos/reviews. We moved from another place to Ella Soul and it was great. Clean, spacious rooms. Top food in the restaurant with a nice view. Helpful staff. Good location 5 mins max walk from centre. And great value for money. Favourite hotel of Sri Lanka trip.

    The owner is very friendly and helpful in organizing TukTuks, Taxis and day trips. A nice way to get in touch with singalese people. You can walk to ella but it‘s not recommendable when it‘s dark because if the traffic. Tuktuk is easy to get, costs around 600 rupees. Rooms are very basic and simple, don‘t expect any luxury. Very good breakfast. Nice view

    In the nature, 20 min walking from the 9 arches bridge, 10 min by tuk tuk from the center. The owner has a shop and can provide you with anything you need. Incredible kindness and hospitality. Silence, which in Ella is rare. Of course you get what you paid for, so do not expect luxury.

    Lovely boutique hotel, set on the side of a hill, quite a few steps to our room but worth it for the views. Set a little outside Ella but just a short tuktuks ride. We had dinner in the hotel both of our nights and the food was exceptional. Staff all friendly and helpful.
