We had a wonderful stay at Ella Hide View. Amazing location with views of the waterfall from our bedrooms. Exceptional staff who made sure our stay were perfect. A place we will definitely come back to.

We loved our stay at Ella Hide View! The staff were absolutely incredible and the room and view was fantastic. It was perfect being away from the noise and hustle of town and the quick walk down the steps got you into Ella in under 15minutes. The staff were the highlight of our stay, Priyantha and the team were so attentive and helpful and happy to have you with them. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Breathtaking view and a genuinely warm welcome. The staff were kind, courteous, and always helpful. Excellent care throughout the stay and a generous, tasty breakfast each morning. A truly pleasant experience.

This hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. And we got very lucky to actually discover it, after not-so impressive stay at another location in Ella. Our top floor penthouse offered unparalelled views on the valley and nearby falls, worth every penny. Our room was brand new, tasteful, comfy and very clean. Breakfast was a real delight, and one would love to sip coffee for long hours while seating on the terrace. Hotel staff was very helpful, they truly wanted to make our stay memorable and went extra mile to take good care of us.

Steps down to the hotel were a bit uneven and the first impression isn’t the best as it looks quite uncared for.

Amazing views, fabulous staff and delicious breakfast that’s enough for about 6 people!

The outside of the hotel is very messy but inside is very clean and pretty. There were multiple power shut downs during the days we stayed

The view is amazing and the stuff is very nice and helpful. This is 5 min drive from ella city so perfect location.

There was no warning that access to the hotel is challenging for older people - lack of a handrail, made more difficult as we arrived in the dark, in rainy weather, so the path was slippery... Not easy negotiating that with luggage! The water wasn't hot enough, so I couldn't bath. I guess it was because the water heating system works off solar energy and it was particularly rainy and overcast during our 2 days there. I believe they do have electricity back up. I just didn't think to ask for this.

The breakfast was outstanding. A huge fruit platter, eggs done to your taste, pancake, yoghurt, toast and jam, Sri Lankan speciality treats, fresh fruit smoothie... The staff went out of their way to help us, making sure we were comfortable and happy with whatever we needed and requested. Pirantha in particular was very helpful and friendly, helping to find us reasonably priced transport for our full, one- day tour. The view, facing Rawana Falls was out of this world.

It is a little out of the way, so if you struggle with mobility it may not be for you. The staff will do their best to accommodate with a Tuk Tuk however & you would not get those amazing views in the centre.

The view was unbelievable, breathtaking. The staff were so helpful & warm. The king suite was nice. Breakfast was yummy & very generous.

The view from the hotel is nothing short of spectacular, and a bit away from the crowds in the center of Ella. Pirantha and the staff were friendly and very helpful with everything from arranging transportation to tips on birdwatching, which you can do over breakfast here!

Location with view of waterfall, Ella Rock & Little Adam’s Peak was amazing. Great food, especially the Chicken Roti, generous breakfasts & really helpful staff. Thoughtful touches in the room, places to,hang and organize your belongings. Stayed for 2 nights, but could have easily stayed longer.

The construction next door really is noisy during the day. We tried to ignore it but found it not restful so we decided to go for a massage instead! The lodge is also down some steep stairs and off the main road which can make it a bit difficult to find but the communication with them is so great that they will find you and help you.

The views are incredible and sunrise is a heartfelt joy to behold. The group of men were all incredibly lovely and helpful. Service is top notch, from our stress free pickup by Priyanthe at the train station to organizing with our next driver a pickup location and point. Breakfast was amazing with lots of in seasons ripe fruit. The leftover fruit go to the birds which I find so comforting as the focus is on kindness and sustainability. The massage they arranged at DEERGAYU was the best massage in Sri Lanka and topped the one I had arranged at the post 98Acres Resort. The staff are so flexible and organized they took care of arranging an early morning TukTuk to Amba Estates for a hike over Ella Rock into Ella town. It’s also close to Ella town if you take the steps down to the railroad and walk (at your own risk! So check out when the trains usually run and avoid the heavy times) about 1km to Matey Hut egress down.

Incredible view of little Adam's peak,Ella rock, little ravana waterfall and the railway line, and the beautiful nature,, we stayed more than Ella and different places,this is the best hotel.the breakfast was amazing. Delicious and generous in beautiful sitting in the morning sunrise like a beach. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful giving more information , if you inform to them every day to clean the room they do well. From the parking area some steps to the hotel but staff they helped and don't worry about it, the property is walking distance to the city but note many steps to the down , but 10 minutes to the city, overall most beautiful spots Sri Lanka you must stay here..
