This hotel was fabulous!! Everything from the moment we stepped out of the car until the minute we left. The staff are wonderful, chatty, interesting and funny. The entrance and the dining area are open plan with an amazing view. The rooms are stylishly decorated with quality finishings and felt very homely. We appreciated the attention to low waste throughout. Excellent find, highly recommended!

I have never given an accommodation a perfect 10/10 score, but the place Upali has built here more than deserves this exception. Perched on one of the cliffs overlooking the Nine Arch Bridge, the wooden cabin offers an amazing view of the area surrounding Ella. Both the outside and the inside are extremely well built, decorated and provided with everything you need. A lot of toiletry items are available (toothbrush, hairdryer, soap, shampoo) as well as magazines, books, playing cards... The shower has a very good water pressure and plenty of hot water (something rare in Sri Lanka) and is extremely clean. The bed is small but very comfortable, as are the pillows. Open the curtains and you get a 180° view of the surrounding mountains from the comfort of your bed :) The balcony has a nice seating area to watch the trains come by and to have breakfast. Talking about breakfast: wow! Delicious typical Sri Lankan breakfast and more food than you can eat, served to your balcony when you prefer. The walk to Ella town is about 20 minutes and can be quite tiring due to the hills, but don't worry because the very friendly Upali has his own tuktuk and will bring you to and from the town without hesitation. A great service I've never experienced before. He also helped us with transportation to and from Ella at very good prices and gave us many tips for things to visit during our stay. Right next and below the cabin are his brother's small restaurant, and his cousin's small cafe (both with amazing views of the bridge as well). Please, stay at this place and experience a superb stay in Ella, surrounded only by the sounds of nature.

    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!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    I recently stayed at a wonderful hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka, and had an amazing experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. The highlight of my stay was the host, Dulshan, who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He went above and beyond to arrange everything I needed, from transportation to local tours and recommendations for the best spots in town. If you’re looking for a great place to stay with top-notch hospitality, I highly recommend this hotel!

    Staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful, always offered to drive us down the hill to the town. Amazing views from all aspects of this hotel. From showering overlooking trees to the rooftop bar with views of Ella rock. Bed was very comfortable. Restaurant on site with some tasty options and 2 hours of 241 cocktails. We preordered our breakfast and it came out promptly for the time we stated. They also came and collected us from the train station ☺️

    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

    The hotel has a fantastic view of Ella Rock and Ella Gap which was wonderful at both sunrise and sunset. We had a pleasant stay. The hotel is clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There are works going on at the moment to build a rooftop pool which I’m sure will be lovely when complete.
