    The stay at Ananda Rest Ella was absolutely peaceful! I woke up to the sweet chirping of birds, and the breakfast was amazing. The weather was a bit chilly and misty, which made it feel extra special. I highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway!..😊

    In last one week, I spent time at several cities of Sri Lanka and found that Sri Lanka has a good Pick me service (like UBER/GRAB, etc.) except in Ella. I tried this service at Ella but never found any Tuk Tuk or taxi at Ella using this service. If you are good at walking, or smart enough to use the local bus service, thats a different issue, else Ella transport system (private tuktuk, taxi, car or microbus) is very expensive.

    Ella is an absolutely bustling small town with lots going on and lots to see. You would need at a minimum 2 days to try get around to all the key sightseeing POI's. Good vibe in the town and lots of backpackers and great food/drink outlets

    The weather is cooling. The railway station is situated less than 5 mins away from the busy street in town. I rented a scooter to explores literally all the places of interest I wanted to go, including the tea plantations.

    Ella is a small town with many bars, restaurants and nice craft shops. The surrounding area is beautiful with spectacular scenery. We visited two waterfalls which were amazing. One of them we walked right to the top of the falls with a guide who was very knowledgeable about the area and the plants we saw. The nine bridges is worth a visit to see the train coming over. We also walked up little Adams Peak which is worth a visit too.

    From all the places we have been to in Sri Lanka, Ella is the most expensive one. Tuk drivers wants to abuse from their service all the time. Whereas in other cities like Kandy or Nuwara Eliya you would pay 300 LKR, here they want to charge you 1500 LKR for the same distance. Transportation to other cities is also more expensive from here.. I stayed 1 night and was good enough to see the main attractions and move forward to a more authentic place in the country.

    I stayed 3 nights - depending what you like to do it was sufficient. One early morning tour to Little Adams Peak to see the sun rise ( very beautiful). Then the Mahameuna. temple - beautiful temple with magnificent . They offer meditation on top of the hill with a monk (around 3:30 pm ..) Chanting starts at about 6:pm . Cooking class with spice tour at spice garden in ella was absolutely great ! Ella itself is westernized lots of restaurants and bars . Beautiful area

    I had an amazing stay at Nest of Peak in Ella! The hotel offers great service, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure guests feel comfortable. The location is perfect, with beautiful views and easy access to Ella’s top attractions. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and cozy, providing a relaxing stay. For the price, it’s definitely worth the money—you get great hospitality, comfort, and a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ella!

    Stunning hotel, the views are seriously incredible. I booked my mother a luxury room with a bath, our eyes almost misted over when we entered, the view and fit out was exceptional. Unfortunately we had a less expensive room in the new apartments which are lovely, offering everything you need but doesn't have quite that WOW factor. I would upgrade next time. Pool area is stunning, service fantastic and breakfast fabulous. Possibly the best coffee we had an Sri Lanka.

    We absolutely loved our stay at nine arch gap. It’s a lovely family run hotel with unbelievable views over nine arch bridge. It’s a little out of Ella town, but this isn’t a problem because the views are worth it and the owners offer a Tuktuk service for a small fee. We stayed in multiple places around Sri Lanka during our trip and this by far had the best views. The family are lovely people with a gorgeous dog to top it 🥰

    Wow, that was a prefect stay. Everything was perfect about this hotel - the staff, the breakfast, and the breathtaking view. The host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We had a great time at the hotel and in Ella in general. He even arranged a taxi from Ella to the hotel and you can ask for him to arrange a taxi for a cheaper price. I highly recommend Hights and definitely we will come again!

    Lovely boutique hotel, set on the side of a hill, quite a few steps to our room but worth it for the views. Set a little outside Ella but just a short tuktuks ride. We had dinner in the hotel both of our nights and the food was exceptional. Staff all friendly and helpful.
