📍 V2CW+J6X, Ella
★★★ 8.5 (135 reviews)

"The views are absolutely stunning, you can see both Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. The terrace is spacious and private, and the room itself is large. There's also a pool, and the staff are very friendly. Once you get used to it, the walk up the hill isn't that far."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella

📍 V3G6+Q75, Ella
★★★ 10 (22 reviews)

"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."

"Perfect Stay in the Heart of Ella! We recently stayed at Bridge Front Inn and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything about this place is excellent. The staff here are incredibly attentive and friendly; they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We were greeted with a complimentary freshly made passion fruit juice, which was a delicious way to start our stay. The location is simply ideal — right next to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, making it super convenient for exploring Ella's main attractions on foot. Although we didn't use their shuttle service because we weren't aware of it when booking, the owner kindly agreed to drive us to a restaurant one evening, showing true hospitality. The food was another highlight, absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet deserves a special mention as there is an enormous selection of dishes to choose from. Our room was spotlessly clean with fresh bed linen and brilliantly white towels. Highly recommended!"

📍 V2CV+GJV, Temple Rd, Ella
★★ 8.2 (51 reviews)

"A wonderful hostess with a sweet daughter. Met, brought a kettle, blankets and mosquito spray. Ordered a tuk-tuk to the city and told about the sights. In the morning she laid a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, baked a flatbread, made coffee. The hotel itself is in the mountains with a beautiful view, you will enjoy staying in the jungle and its inhabitants. The feeling that you live in a wooden hut that we built in childhood, I really liked it. The place is located 10 minutes walk from the city, away from the hustle and bustle where you can relax."

"Just off the main bar and restaurant street, is this simple home stay. It's quiet at night and a good place to relax and get some sleep as you pass through Ella. It is at the top of a very steep hill."

★★★ 8.2 (21 reviews)

"The basic facilities in the room are relatively simple. There is no air conditioning, only a fan. There is no hot water for showering. The location is also a distance from the main road. If you ride a motorcycle, the price-performance ratio is good. It is suitable for one person to spend a night in Ella"

Misty Hills Ella Resort

"The most outstanding view in Ella along with the most friendly and happy staff! We couldn’t believe our luck when we arrived at Misty Hills. Greeted by the manager and owner quite late, they were so accommodating and welcoming. We had the most beautiful room with a bed that was so comfortable we didn’t want to leave! The food here is outstanding! If you want traditional Sri Lankan food, this is the place. Everything we ate was delicious. I cannot thank the staff enough, so lovely. But the view is the star of the show!!! Breathtaking!"

Moi Ella by DBI

"Stunning views and lovely infinity pool. Welcoming, helpful and friendly staff. Good laundry service BUT 1) room ( 1st floor honeymoon (!) by the lift) was the noisiest we've ever stayed in - we could hear every sound - snoring, noisy conversations, very loud running water , door alarms and howling wind noise 2) location 30 minutes from Ella 3) very average bland luke warm food in the hotel 4) cheap build quality room fittings and weird layout . We would have had a more restful 2 nights sleeping outside by the lovely infinity pool !"

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

Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella

"This hotel is beautiful and modern. Location is great, easy to get to restaurants and shops outside of the hotel. Staff have been very attentive and helpful. They clean the rooms promptly. The laundry service is great. The staff even ran to help us push the car up the hill when it was stuck. Room service food has been very good too, their devilled chicken and pizza were the best. Highly recommend staying with Te Dalu if you are visiting Ella."

Alta Vista Hotels in Ella

Alta Vista

"Due to a communication and management issue with the guesthouse we had originally booked, we had quickly find another place to stay in Ella; and we were pleasantly surprised to come across Hotel Alta Vista. The location is excellent, right in the lively heart of Ella, surrounded by restaurants, shops, markets, banks, and all kind of conveniences. Even the train station is just a few minutes walk away. Because this was a last-minute booking, we ended up with the super deluxe room, the last one available. Both the room and the bathroom were very very spacious, clean, and equipped with all the basic amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was also a small balcony which, thanks to the hotel's hillside location and our top-floor room, offered a stunning view over Ella and the surrounding tea plantations. Service is fairly simple, but efficient, polite, and genuinely warm. Everyone we encountered was friendly and very helpful. Noticing that, in the rush, we had booked without breakfast included, the manager kindly offered us a discount in case we wanted to add it. In fact, we only had breakfast once, on the day of our checkout. Since we were leaving very early, it wasn't fully set up yet, but the staff prepared a very complete a la carte breakfast for us - everything was fresh, tasty, and generous. While they were still setting up the buffet, they kept checking if we wanted anything else or more of something, which really showed their level of care and attention. The facilities are not the most modern, but the property is functional. Wi-fi is a bit erratic. One important note: there is no elevator, and considering the steep walk just to reach the reception, plus the stairs to the rooms, having strong legs definitely helps! Your heart will thank you. There is a nice swimming pool, although I'm not sure whether it is heated. Another point to consider, especially on weekend (and not related to the hotel itself), is that due to its proximity to Ella's nightlife, you can hear loud music until around midnight. For us, none o these points were deal-breakers, but they may bother others. We would recommend Hotel Alta Vista and would happily stay there again."

Tea Garden Holiday Inn Hotels in Ella

Tea Garden Holiday Inn

"We had a confirmed booking at “Tea Garden Holiday Inn” in Ella, but on arrival at 7 PM om 20th April, (after informing them in advance), the host /manager refused check-in, saying it’s “not suitable for elderly people.” This was never mentioned during booking, despite us having elderly family members and an infant. We were left stranded at night after a long journey. The host also misled us to another property claiming it was theirs, which turned out to be false and more expensive. Very unprofessional and irresponsible. I would not recommend this place."

O2 Villas Ella Hotels in Ella

O2 Villas Ella

"This was the most perfect hotel I stayed in during my trip to Sri Lanka; it definitely deserves a five-star rating. We booked an executive villa. Downstairs was a large bed, and upstairs were two slightly smaller mattresses. The electric curtains opened onto a nearly panoramic glass balcony with views of the tea plantations, the Three Arch Bridge, and passing trains. The mini-bar was complimentary, with dozens of tea bags and four free glass bottles of water. Alcohol and other drinks were chargeable. The swimming pool was beautiful and photogenic, like an infinity pool. Definitely choose the option that includes dinner. Dinner was a five-course à la carte meal, very delicious and unique, but drinks were not included. Breakfast also included a very special crispy egg bun. The path to the restaurant offered many beautiful photo opportunities. The only downside was the abundance of mosquitoes. The only two bites I got during the entire trip were from mosquito bites I received while sleeping here at night."

Tunnel Top Inn 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."

Bridge Front Inn Ella ★★★
"The location was absolutely stunning in the heart of the jungle but only a short walk to the nine arch bridge (you can even see the train passing through the trees during the day). The bird song and jungle noise was so peaceful, the rooms were clean, quality bedding and well thought out little touches in terms of toiletries (even some books on the shelf). The breakfast was delicious and so much food! But most importantly to note Yugesh was fantastic at attending to our needs whether that be to organise our laundry to be sent out and cleaned, making sure we had everything we needed for breakfast or coming with us on the walk to the bridge to get the best spots to film the train crossing, pictures etc. He was very kind, professional and thoughtful, he really made our trip. Another person to note was Nimal, the TukTuk driver who helped us easily get about. Free shuttle to Ella town from the hotel which is great! Anything else at an extra cost. Highly recommend this unique stay."

Ella Nature Life Guest and Restaurant ★★★
"The place is a long ride up the mountain on a narrow winding road… (and unfortunately the local PickMe App has no use in Ella!) The food service was good but a bit pricey for the area of Sri Lanka. The “Single Room“ was as rather small and had an all glass “front door” and there was no fan or air conditioning… so with the open ventilation ducts most conversations from anywhere in the building could be heard inside of the room… Overall it was pleasant but not as nice as I had imagined from the listing…"
