"The property was so beautiful and the views from the room were outstanding! The hotel is conveniently located super close to the both the 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s Peak. Everything was so clean and well put together. The breakfast so delicious as well! The service provided by Hansani and the rest of the team during breakfast was efficient, fast and friendly. A special shout out goes to Dammika who helped us bring our bags up to our room and was already ready to help us check out! His friendly smile and welcoming nature made us feel so happy and welcomed it made the experience at the hotel so much more worthwhile! Will definitely come back here next time!"
"Well . We have travelled for 12 days now
The cubes was our best hotel so far on our visit.
I would have given 6 stars if available. This was made by everyone on the team.
Rishard made us most welcome and after a few hours we booked a another night making 3 nights in all
Our room was spacious and very clean
We arrived in the late afternoon decided to eat in . Primal was the chef and produced marvellous curries . He is very jolly and welcoming
Next morning after a great breakfast we headed out to the tea factory
I thoroughly recommend the tea tour
We had a great time in Ella and made by our stay at the cubes
It’s a 10 out of 10 from us

"I love this hotel! The staff were so helpful and amazing especially with our rented tuk tuk! Everyone was lovely and so kind! I cannot recommend this hotel enough!"
"We loved our stay at Misty hills. The view was incredible, the staff so helpful and delicious breakfasts with an egg and omelette bar included. The room was cleaned each day with a balcony view out into the hills that stunned us every time we looked out. It was a good location - 15 minute walk into the centre, however they also organised hiring a scooter for us for our 2 days which we would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the wider bits Ella has to offer. The property is slightly rough and ready compared to the photos but this did NOT take away anything from the experience of our stay. The view made it one of the best spots we stayed in. We highly recommend Misty Hills to anyone wanting the best view Ella has to offer."
"We enjoyed the pool which was lovely. The hotel is up a long steep driveway which was fine for us although tough in the heat but if you have impaired mobility it would be worth using a tuk tuk to get up (if they do very short trips??) the room was clean but simple. Bathroom was spacious.. curtains not overly dark but we were happy to get up early. Staff were friendly but no breakfast (off season so fair enough) but plenty of awesome restaurants, cafes and bars and shops down the driveway in the main Street. Great location as the main drag was right at the base of the driveway!!! Plenty of local activities. The tuk tuk drivers are more than happy to take you to waterfalls or the 9 arches bridge and other sights"
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, well-organized, and featured a sleek, modern design. The absolute highlight was the views—simply amazing from everywhere we went, including the room, restaurant, bar, and pool.
The buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. A special shoutout to the staff who provided truly outstanding service.
The location is ideal: perched on the hill so it’s easy for cars to access, yet still well within short walking distance of the town center, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommended!"
"Amazing place. Can’t fault a single thing. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and it was amazing. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Always ready to help with a buggy. Spa was amazing in a very scenic set up. Secluded yet just a few mins drive to main city centre. Pool area is nice but the pool is rather small. Breakfast is very good, made to order. Complimentary guided trek to little Adams peak just behind the resort. They gave discount vouchers for Ravana pool club and zip lining but we didn’t have time to try. Overall fully recommend."
