The loveliest hotel room we have ever stayed in- mostly because of the view… wow! But we couldn’t fault anything in the room either is was so lovely. The breakfast was super nice too was served on the table and chairs outside our room overlooking the view.

Amazing hotel and and even amazing staff! Ameer the property manager is so professional and a pleasure to talk to. He made sure our stay was comfortable throughout and we just felt very welcomed. The food is better than any restaurant in Ella and is made by Primal! It was so delicious that we just ordered in one night and didn't go out. The rooms are modern and beautiful and the view is gorgeous especially from the dining area. I requested that they take special care wrt. to cleaning and insects and they exceeded my expectations. The property is easily accessible via car ( very nice paved road) so if you have a car and driver you don't need to get tuktuks to pick and drop you like in another properties. The service is like a 5 start hotel from the moment you arrive till you leave. 5 min drive to town and overall highly recommended if you are visiting Ella. Just book it and you will be taken care of!!

The view of the hills from the bar and restaurant is breathtaking. The decoration of the room is very arty and even unique. Would recommend this place as a retreat for resting too. It has a nice little pool. Staff is helpful and organizes tuktuks for you at the best price.

This place was the most amazing accomodition to see the trains running over the Nine Arches Bridge. I came to Sri Lanka because I wanted to see this amazing view from this hotel. I would recommend you to make a reservation sooner because this hotel is pretty popular.  When I arrived it was pouring and cold, but blankets were provided and the shower was hot enough. The room was very clean, so I think it's probably a new building. I was traveling alone, so when I asked about transportation and any other questions, the host, Upali replied to my emails right away and helped me. Upali arranged for me a very helpful taxi driver, Niranjith. And thank you for making a lot of wonderful breakfast every day. even though It was so delicious, I’m sorry to I couldn’t eat it all. This is a lovely place and I'm really glad I stayed here, but I was most glad to have met Upali! Upali was very kind and reliable person. Thank you so much for everything. It was a lot of fun thanks to you.

The host was great, he didn't even ask for anything and drove us everywhere, he wanted us to experience the best for the short amount of time that we were staying there. The location is in the forest with an amazing watetfall view, even though it's up on the mountain, we could still get to the city and the main street relatively fast. All the tourism objects were nearby, we could access everything easily. They have their food, the breakfast was included and very tasty. The dinner was for a reasonable price, homemade, deliceous. I recommend this place

    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 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.
