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.

This hotel was fabulous!! Everything from the moment we stepped out of the car until the minute we left. The staff are wonderful, chatty, interesting and funny. The entrance and the dining area are open plan with an amazing view. The rooms are stylishly decorated with quality finishings and felt very homely. We appreciated the attention to low waste throughout. Excellent find, highly recommended!

I have never given an accommodation a perfect 10/10 score, but the place Upali has built here more than deserves this exception. Perched on one of the cliffs overlooking the Nine Arch Bridge, the wooden cabin offers an amazing view of the area surrounding Ella. Both the outside and the inside are extremely well built, decorated and provided with everything you need. A lot of toiletry items are available (toothbrush, hairdryer, soap, shampoo) as well as magazines, books, playing cards... The shower has a very good water pressure and plenty of hot water (something rare in Sri Lanka) and is extremely clean. The bed is small but very comfortable, as are the pillows. Open the curtains and you get a 180° view of the surrounding mountains from the comfort of your bed :) The balcony has a nice seating area to watch the trains come by and to have breakfast. Talking about breakfast: wow! Delicious typical Sri Lankan breakfast and more food than you can eat, served to your balcony when you prefer. The walk to Ella town is about 20 minutes and can be quite tiring due to the hills, but don't worry because the very friendly Upali has his own tuktuk and will bring you to and from the town without hesitation. A great service I've never experienced before. He also helped us with transportation to and from Ella at very good prices and gave us many tips for things to visit during our stay. Right next and below the cabin are his brother's small restaurant, and his cousin's small cafe (both with amazing views of the bridge as well). Please, stay at this place and experience a superb stay in Ella, surrounded only by the sounds of nature.

Location! Its a little bit far away from city center but you will come fast with tuk tuk. You will hardly find better view form terace.

    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.

    Staying at Crystal Springs Luxury Hotel, Ella has been an unforgettable experience. The view from the room was absolutely magical waking up to misty mountains and peaceful greenery felt like a dream. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a warm smile. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and truly lived up to the "luxury" in the name. Thank you for making our stay so special we’ll definitely be coming back!

    Chaminda and his staff were very welcoming. Chaminda was very informative on local sites and services. Maridian Hotel is out of town but we had our own transportation, so this wasn’t a problem. There was also a bus that stopped directly out the front of the property which takes you into Bandarawela and the train station. Breakfast was plentiful, and changed daily. The view is amazing! The train line between Ella and Bandarawela can be seen at a distance.

    This place was just top notch! As someone who has been living in guesthouses/ hotels for the past two years this spot just has all you got. Private bungalow with an double bed, good hot shower and views all over Ella. Will and his family treat you like their own and not to begin with their free breakfast which has great variety everyday and everything is fresh out of his garden. All the best for your homestay and I can not wait to return to Ella!

    Ella Breeze is a wonderful hotel which I highly recommend. Rooms and service are great. It’s very comfortable and clean there. We also got breakfasts there during our stay - everything was fine. I want to thank manager Ajey who assisted us with helpful information about surroundings and helped us to organise transfer to Unawatuna even cheaper than they ask in the nearby taxi kiosks. Long live Ajey, may the power be with you!!!)))
