Everything. But for sure number 1 was the staff. They were amazing and went above and beyond. My 5 year old son loved them and it takes him ages to warm to people. They played with him loads and showed him all around. He was so sad to leave them. The food was also amazing.

Everything was perfect, we arrived it was raining the owner was expecting us with umbrellas and helped us down stairs , the room was big enough and comfy beds, the view from the room was amazingggg , the family owning the business is very welcoming and generous. Loved the place and everything. Considering it’s in the forest water pressure for shower was low that’s all.

I need more stars! 5 is not enough in any of these categories! Seriously, this is an absolute gem of a place to stay. It's not just a room, this is an experience and worth every penny and more. First of all, this room is way up on the mountain with the front balcony overlooking the 9 arch bridge. You can watch the trains come and go right there in your own space! There is a footpath that goes down to the bridge and takes you all around it so you can see it from every angle and it's extremely beautiful! The bed is VERY comfortable with actual bedding unlike much of Sri Lanka where you get what feels like a tablecloth to cover yourself. I slept very well. Every detail is covered: cards and books, umbrellas, kettle. Mini fridge, every type of drinkware, sugar, coffees/teas, hairdryer, washclothes and even the adapter for plugs. There are tons of outlets to plug into, one on each side of the bed as well as reading lamps. Huge windows to let tons of light flanked by curtains to darken the room as well. The neighbor property is Upali's brother's property which now also houses a bar/restaurant overlooking the tracks! Delicious breakfast is served on the front patio and is more than I eat in a day! Fresh fruits, little rolled pancakes with coconut and sugar, hoppers, hoppers with eggs, yogurt and coffee. The best part of the stay? Upali. He is an incredible host. Need a ride back down the hill? He's there. Need a ride back? Ok! Want to go climb Little Adam's Peak? Let's go! Anything you need he is ready and willing to help! I've never experienced anything like it. He even checked the oil, lights, brakes and everything in my tuk tuk and gave it a little wash. Made sure I was safe traveling alone as a woman. Just so amazing! Anyway, I urge you to book now, don't hesitate because it will be gone if you wait! Wish I could have stayed forever! Thank you Upali for a wonderful stay! I can't wait to return!

This place looks like a train station. But there is no sound in the rooms. Ella is not a big city, but it is very easy to get there by car as the hotels are usually located on top of the hill. And the view is very good, fresh air. Staff are very nice and professional, I really had a good night's sleep and relaxed after a long journey.

    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.

    If you are looking for the perfect place in Ella to relax, stop looking you’ve found the right hotel. The staff was a real bonus, they are always trying their best to make you feel at home. Regarding the room itself, it’s quite spacious, very clean & the bed will offer you the best sleep. The cubes are truly the highlight of our trip around Sri Lanka. We initially booked one night but came back for 3 more nights. There is a room service and laundry can be done too. Special thanks to Eprival 🙏🏻

    Beautiful place with absolutely stunning views at the waterfalls! Owner is helpful and is making sure that his guests feel like at home. Breakfast was tasty, coffee, water and tea can be delivered to the room. Hotel is a good place for sunrise hike to Ella Rock (it took us 1.5h to get to the top from the hotel on foot). Ask for cooking classes - owner's mom is a very talented chef and can teach you how to cook Sri Lankan dishes. Amazing experience and great people!

    Gorgeous location and absolutely beautiful buildings. Incredible wildlife; we saw beautiful endemic birds, a lemur and a small wild cat of some kind. Hotel manager was so kind and patient and the breakfasts were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Top tip, ask him to put you in touch with Sugala, a brilliant tuktuk driver - super reasonable and lovely bloke. Also close to a set of stairs for a challenging but unique entrance to Ella Rock!

    The hotel is very central in Ella and close to the city. The rooms are very clean, very good breakfast and nice service. You can directly start the hike on the Ella Rock. The manager told us that they are just building a roof top pool area which will be completed in 4 month. This will add additional value to the hotel.
