Boasting a terrace and a shared lounge, New Blue Home is located in Ella. Built in 2016, the property is within an 11-minute walk of Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. Free WiFi is available.

About 20 mins walk from the railway station. Near Nine Arch Bridge path too. The room and bathroom are spacious and clean. Breakfast is basic and sufficient. The guy is fantastic, I need to leave around 5:45am to catch an early train to Colombo, and he packed the breakfast and unlocked the gate for me! Appreciate it! Will be great if an electric kettle is also provided in the room.

We had an amazing stay. The location was beautiful and a cute cabin. The owner and staff were so friendly and accommodating. He even told us we had a nail in our tire and helping get it repaired.

Blooming Rose Ella provides accommodations in Ella near Ella Train Station and Ella Spice Garden Cooking Class.

I had a wonderful one-night stay at Blooming Rose. Check-in was very easy, and the owner was kind and caring. The location is away from town, up in the mountains, offering a beautiful view and the relaxing sounds of nature and a nearby waterfall. The bed was comfortable, and I had a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was nice, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing. A perfect place to unwind!

Mount shadows offers accommodations in Ella, 3.4 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and 31 miles from Hakgala Botanical Garden. With mountain views, this accommodation features a terrace.

Our room was absolutely charming, with a breathtaking view that made our stay truly special. The host was incredibly caring and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was delicious and served with a lovely view overlooking a waterfall and the passing train, such a peaceful and unique setting. The walk to the center of Ella takes about 20 minutes along the railway, and it’s a beautiful and memorable stroll through nature. Highly recommended for a relaxing and scenic getaway!

Naln is a great host. Tucked away from the main street, greeted with tea even though I showed up later than I planned and breakfest is tailored to your liking.

    Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient

    First things first, the hotel is in a great location. A 2 minute walk away from the main street, a 10 minute (perhaps less) to the train station and a short distance from the key hikes. The hotel room is simply decorated and perhaps a little rough around the edges. But it's clean, quiet and charming. I had a room with two single beds, but it was easy enough to push them together. The host is really helpful and friendly, and breakfast was great!
