We also used their in house Safari and the driver / guide was brilliant. Highly recommended."

Top Udawalawe National Park Hotel Reviews

The Cubes Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with great staff and a beautiful location. The breakfast was excellent - possibly the best chicken curry I’ve had in Sri Lanka. The only downside is that is quite far from the centre of Ella - and getting a Tuk-Tuk through PickMe was almost impossible - meaning I had to pay at least twice as much to flag one down."

Ella Flower Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back."

Jetwing Kaduruketha

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome experience overall. Everything was great."

Shangri-La Hambantota

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 2 nights in August. Spacious hotel with plenty to explore, we wished we'd had more time to make the most of all the facilities. Had a small hiccup with our room allocation at check-in, but the team resolved it quickly and professionally. Food was a highlight - great buffet breakfast with a wide selection, and good options across the various restaurants on site. We also played 18 holes of golf; the caddies were professional, polite and added a lot to the experience. Would recommend for a relaxing stay with plenty of facilities to enjoy, just make sure you allow enough time to see it all."

Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort

8/10 Good

"great pool close enough to national park but hotel is a little tired"

Centauria Wild

10/10 Excellent

"nice staff, amazing breakfast, and lake view are one of the best, especially during the sunset"

DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear! Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be. 10/10 for such a great stay!"

Misty Hills Ella Resort

10/10 Excellent

"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 !!"

Moi Ella by DBI
