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.

+ Lovely family, super nice and all-knowing. They brought us down several times to the village in their tuktuk! Great breakfasts, I think the best of the whole trip! Good room with exceptional views. Kettle and several free teas! Rich and delicious dinner! I would repeat without hesitation!! It was a good thing to find a family like that in a town as devastated by tourism as she is...

One of our favourite places in SL, had much more of a town feel. It is touristy but just means lots of place to eat. The hikes are amazing and were one of our favourite parts of our trip. Beware the scammers when going up Ella rock - it's a little confusing to find the path and locals will try to lead you away from the main path to 'guide' you

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 view over Ella is wonderful (we had an deluxe room at the 2nd floor). If you don‘t have one of these you can take the steps to the rooftop. The way to the hotel is very steep (good to know for people who have problems by walking) but it‘s ok. It was clean and for Sri Lanka a very well hotel. Breakfast was great and very much. Lovely stuff.

Incredible view from this lovely boutique hotel on top of a large hill. It feels like being in a luxury large treehouse. The service was excellent and went above and beyond to give us a great experience! Nice touch was getting breakfast served on our private balcony.
