Ravana Range Ella
8.4 (169 reviews)

Ravana Range Ella ★★★

📍 V2CW+J6X, Ella

"Excellent location with a short walk to the main strip, staff were friendly and very helpful, pool was excellent. Very happy and wanted to stay longer"

EKHO Ella
8.9 (74 reviews)

EKHO Ella ★★★★

📍 Sandungama Rd, Ella

"A very poor experience. While you wouldn't expect much in a tourist area for 2,000 yuan a night, the soundproofing was extremely poor and the hotel was located right next to the road, making the clatter of cars clear and loud even early in the morning. The windows were the worst kind of striped blinds, with huge gaps between them, effectively blocking out any light. The hot water was alternately hot and cold, making you scream with both cold and heat. The strange, large spider in the room wasn't worth mentioning. The only positive thing was the restaurant, situated on the cliffside, with a beautiful view."

Senu Ceylon Ella
9.9 (8 reviews)

Senu Ceylon Ella ★★★

📍 Madapathana, Kirimatiya, Ella

"Truly one of the best homestays we’ve been in. From start to finish we have received the best and kindest service from Krishantha who made us feel at home and was always checking in if we needed anything. The room itself is spacious and has everything you need and overlooks a gorgeous view of Ella. Couldn’t reccomend more!"

Tunnel Top Inn Ella
9.9 (27 reviews)

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★

📍 V3G6+Q75, Ella

"Although the location is a little inaccessible, that’s how the beautiful view of train coming out from tunnel can be seen. And the inaccessible location is overly compensated by the service, there is TukTuk to fetch you from Ella Town or Ella station when you arrive. During your stay, they fetched us back from Ella town after dinner around 9pm to the accommodation for the convenience. Also upon check out, they sent us back to Ella station. So, you can to enjoy the view in absolute nature without compromising the convenience. Absolutely love the place. Just walking distance to 9 Arch."

The Scenario Ella
9.1 (45 reviews)

The Scenario Ella ★★★

📍 Halpe road, Rathnagiri Estate Rd, Ella

"It offers great value for money, is in a newly built building, and is all good, but the location is a bit disappointing. However, even this is acceptable considering the price."

Misty Hills Ella Resort
7.9 (37 reviews)

Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★

📍 Wellawaya-Ella-Kumbalwela Hwy, Ella

"Keeping in mind this is a 3 star hotel, the positives are the rooms are big with a balcony looking out at amazing views (ours anyway), and the pool is clean and quite big also with amazing views and a concrete elephant water feature!!! The location of the hotel is pretty good too - far enough from other properties to be quiet but close enough to Ella main drag that you can walk in 10-15 minutes or pay a tuk tuk driver double the rate of Colombo to get to and from. The big negative for us was that despite being told upon checking in that the room would be cleaned every day, it was not. And I was told the reason why was that we didn’t hand in our key for it to be done - which seems bizarre after staying in hotels for decades and not being told to or having to hand in a key in order to get a standard daily room clean. The insinuation that it was our fault for not handing in a key (not that we were told to do so on checking in) was extremely irritating. Food was ok but overpriced so we ate elsewhere (lots of options). There were lots of little things in the rooms that could be easily addressed to make them nicer - definitely not having ripped old bath towels, and removing an empty TV bracket from the wall (like a TV used to be there but not anymore - or was it just our room, who knows). All these little things add up to I really think the room rate is too high - but we are here in the high season so maybe that’s just the going rate."

Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella
8.7 (18 reviews)

Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella ★★★★

📍 Sapumal Tenna Rd, Ella

"As expected from a location at the highest point of Ella, the view is the best! .. However, due to the surrounding chaotic development, the roads are narrow and steep, so driving there is thrilling ㅜㅜ.. Since it is still under construction, only the first floor and some facilities are open, and ingredients are not yet fully prepared.. The staff try to be friendly, but charging that price in the current state is excessive."

Nine Arch Jungle Inn
8.8 (2 reviews)

Nine Arch Jungle Inn ★★★

📍 No 1, Getehewelapathana Passara Road, 3rd Mile Post, Ella

"A couple of rooms in a house located directly across from the Nine Arch Bridge, surrounded by forest. Clean and well-appointed rooms, very good and plentiful breakfast served on the terrace overlooking the bridge and watching the trains clatter by. Very friendly and attentive service. The only downside is that to reach the main road, you have to walk down a very steep path that can only be accessed by Tuk-Tuks; make sure you have a flashlight...or a charged phone for the evening!"

Bridge Front Inn Ella
9.9 (15 reviews)

Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★

📍 Nine Arch Rd, Ella

"This was my first time staying at their guesthouse, and I was very satisfied with their service. It's really only 50 meters from the attractions, no joke! They also provide a generous breakfast. This photo was taken from their balcony."

Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella Hotels in Ella

Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella

"This hotel is truly amazing. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the architecture and interior design are beautifully thought through, creating a space that feels both stylish and in harmony with the surroundings. The rooms are clean, contemporary, and very comfortable, and the food offers a fresh take on traditional dishes. What really makes the stay special is the staff — they are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Although the hotel is just a short 5-minute tuk-tuk drive from the centre of Ella, it feels peacefully tucked away in nature. It’s the perfect spot if you want to enjoy the stunning scenery of Sri Lanka while still being conveniently close to the town. A beautiful and relaxing place to stay that I would highly recommend."

"We loved our stay here. All staff members were amazing and made us feel so special. We got a free upgrade as well which was very kind. The breakfast was also good. Really recommend it!"

Moi Ella by DBI Hotels in Ella

"If you’re looking for a peaceful and tranquil stay then Moi Ella is the place! We had such a lovely & relaxing stay here. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, we were greeted with some tea and delicious coconut pancake on arrival which was just what we needed after a long drive. The breakfast and dinner was also amazing. The hotel offers 360 views of the beautiful hills and mountains of Ella, and you can even head up to the top floor to catch sunrise - we did this one morning and it was absolutely breathtaking!! If you’re looking to stay in/near Ella then you might want to find somewhere closer to the town as this hotel is about a 30 minute drive out of town so you’ll need transport. We didn’t mind though as we loved how peaceful and secluded the hotel was :)"

"Stay away from this hotel! The hotel rooms isn’t what’s pictured on booking sites, the entrance is through a forest on a mountain and through other buildings. The walls is stained, door is leaking, and the room are nasty. The entrance pathway crumbled under me so a nail went through my foot and got several scratches. It is NOT a hotel, not even a bungalow. I would rather sleep with the homeless dogs than stay there one night. We checked out 30 minutes after we checked in. At least the manager was nice enough to give a full refund and drive us to another hotel."

Duet Hearts Hotels in Ella

Duet Hearts

"What's great: The host's hospitality was so invaluable that we felt right at home, like we were staying with the kindest and most sincere relatives. The room was clean and had everything we needed, including an iron, heater, kettle, and clothes dryer. The hotel doesn't have the frills of a modern hotel (it doesn't have the latest renovations or luxurious interiors), but it's clear they care about the comfort of their guests. This was primarily because we checked in a day after our reservation. Unfortunately, we were caught in the middle of a cyclone with torrential rain on our way from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. However, the host personally greeted us at the door and asked his kitchen manager to stay late for us and prepare a meal. Although we were well past our scheduled breakfast time, the staff politely waited, allowing us, wet and cold, to take a hot shower and change. Then a young worker served our breakfast and immediately helped us carry our bags to our room. On the day we couldn't check in on time, they contacted us and offered to help us get to our destination safely. Rented bikes left us with little choice but to accept their help, though their offer was invaluable. Ultimately, the hotel staff treated us with understanding and care. Therefore, Duet Hearts truly holds a place in our hearts for warm and heartfelt memories. Breakfast is simple, but you'll definitely not go hungry before exploring the city. It's conveniently located for walking routes in Ella: there's access to the tourist streets, and we walked to the Nine-Arched Bridge ourselves, without using a taxi. Cons: The access road to the hotel is bumpy, with washed-out soil and gravel in places. Be careful in rainy weather, but it's perfectly possible to drive there, with a driver, or on foot. The hotel grounds aren't exactly luxurious, but this didn't stop us from admiring the jungle from the second floor. We felt cozy, peaceful, and huggy at Duet Hearts, despite being subjected to nonstop wet weather. We definitely recommend visiting."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella ★★★
"This place is beautiful. Right in the Ella jungle, with an incredible view. The room was beautiful - new, spacious and well equipped with everythng you'd need. It is literally a four minute walk from the Nine Arches Bridge. Getting into and out of town was easy - they offer a free tuk tuk service. The breakfast was very generous indeed and you will not go shy of fresh fruit! The two guys looking after the place were amazing - so kind and attentive; they will look after you. Solid recommend."

Nine Arch Jungle Inn ★★★
"This place was great! The views, the nature, the peace, the breakfast!! I dont think you could be closer to the 9 arch bridge, outside the inn is the path to the bridge and its about 3min walk from there, downhill. Forewarned, I arrived in the evening and it was dark, I would suggest arriving in the daylight as its a little scary otherwise! The roads can only be accessed by tuktuk, they are very steep and you're so in nature my brain couldn't adjust to all the noises without visual clues...but once I seen it all in the daylight, it was amazing, my brain adjusted and I could appreciate all the nature noises. The roads are steep, but doable. Everything (other than bridge) is about 20/30min walk away. There are restaurants about 10/15mins away. I would recommend, it was one of my favourite stays, I enjoyed sitting on my balcony watching the trains come in, watching the monkeys or squirrels..enjoy!"
