"Staff were incredibly helpful warm and welcoming.
The views were amazing from our room; from welcome area and pool area. Definitely recommend this place. The room was spacious and clean.
Location was 1 km from ella so approx 500 SR to get to town (uphill!) but an easy walk ( downhill ) to get back !!"

"The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable and clean. The carpets and bathrooms were not as clean. The showers were unreliable, with low water pressure and unreliable heat. The staff were not hospitable or conscientious and the hotel listings we’re confusing. No food is available from the hotel. Overall the space had a dreary colonial vibe."

"The place is decent and comfortable enough. The staff isn’t super helpful and hard to communicate with. The WiFi is almost never working so keep that in mind if you need wifi! Other than that it gets the job done!"

Very clean room.Lovely pool. The hotel is out of the way near the river. We loved the tranquil setting. Apart from our safari trip (which was arranged by the owner) we didn’t leave the hotel, which suited us because the food provided at the hotel is delicious. The only negative thing I would say is they could do with upgrading the recliners by the pool.

Wow, what a place! Loved our room with patio and the views were just to die for. Great view of the Ella waterfall which you could hear from the property.
The owners were lovely and very helpful. Lovely cup of tea on arrival and water whenever you need it. Breakfast was amazing and huge.
Couldn't ask for a better place to stay in Ella as it was nice and peaceful and oh, did I mention those views!

We had a lovely one night stay at Ferncliff, it was just lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend as a very well run ‘b&b’ type hotel but much more luxurious. Bernard in particular was fantastic, especially his cooking — we had both dinner and breakfast there. Very glad we chose this over the ‘grand hotel’ in the end.

The welcome at the Sihilro Regency is second to none. We felt almost like family. The home cooked food offered is really fantastic, exceeding the standard in most of the hotels we stayed in. Arriving over the new year weekend, we were slightly concerned that onward travel would be difficult but they helped us find a taxi at a very reasonable price. We also used their in house Safari and the driver / guide was brilliant. Highly recommended.

Tucked away from the road this was a great find. It was clean and Ishan and the other staff were extremely welcoming and hospitable. They helped with making arrangements for the train and couldn’t do enough. Really recommend this place.

We arrived at night, and on first impressions, honestly it didn't look good. We were taken down a dark steep hill, into an area where it felt like we were about to be robbed. But then around the corner our driver introduced his lovely, smiling mum, and they showed us a lovely room with two beds, and asked if we wanted a tea - to which we said yes, and asked also for food. The mother smiled agreement, the son suggested a really cheap price, and they told us food would be served in an hour.

We had a fantastic stay at Lizard Safari Lodge. The rooms are clean and well kept, with a nice big bed, mosquito net and fan. Our room had a balcony which was great to sit out on in the late afternoon. Dinner was delicious on both nights of our stay (as was breakfast) with a good selection of food and very generous portion sizes! Nandu could not have been kinder, taking us on a tour of the village and to a local swimming spot on the afternoon of our arrival, and providing snacks and ice creams....

Superb accomodation if only for the view from the bed looking out onto the Ella valley.
Then a surprisingly fullsome breakfast accompanied by a medley of fruits.
The two brothers looking after the place were able to book tuk tuk drivers who did not fleece you like a number of the others in Ella town.
Therefore spacious well appointed room with fan. as air conditioning would not normally be necessary in Ella. Also no mosquitoes rather some fruit flies from the surrounding lusious...

We had a lovey short stay in Ella Nature Nest. The view from the room is stunning and the host was so friendly and helpful and provided us with a huge and tasty breakfast on our own private balcony by the room.

Chiran our butler was so attentive to our every need, he made our stay at Oatlands so special. The property itself needs an upgrade, it is showing signs of wear and tear. Nearby St Andrews hotel is lovely to have a drink and dinner.
