"Really beautiful view and lovely location, even with the occasional train passing by (if anything, it added to the charm). Very kind and helpful hosts, who loaned their umbrellas to us and accommodated our last minute change of breakfast time when we were running late from a morning hike. They also packed our breakfast to go when we checked out early on our last day. Walking along the train tracks is by far the best way to get to town and back in under 10 minutes. The paved road is quite windy...

"We messed up our trip and left a day early (holiday brain) but the hotel was very good. The location is great, while you will hear the call to prayer it wasn't an issue for us"

"Nice place, but quite pricey for what you get. Maybe Ella is just a bit overpriced at this point… :) The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing!! Location was good a bit outside of the busy Ella town. Quiet and peaceful. Only negative thing was that the walls to our room were very thin so we had to use earplugs to sleep, but it was ok for us :)"

"The room is very big and the staff is super friendly. They can help with the planning. There is also a free pick up from the trainstation so make sure to let them know which train you take. Beds are very comfortable."

Sunnyside bungalow was great. Fab service, comfortable bed and excellent location. Very short walk down the road into Ella. Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious!

We stayed at the Poomaz Peace palace for 3 nights. The accommodation is within minutes of the main street and because of the close proximity you can hear the live music each night. However the music usually does stop by 23:00.
The room was spacious and clean and offers a fridge, kettle, hair dryer, soap, towels and has a shared balcony where breakfast is served each morning. The wifi connection was good and Poorna the owner was very responsive and available via whats app for any requests or...

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!

A new hotel in Haputale, nice comfortable room with a great view, located an easy 5 mins from the train station, WiFi and breakfast were excellent and staff very helpful, I can’t fault this budget hotel. From here we did a trip to Horton Plains and Liptons seat we used a local taxi guy Raju 0775870379 who was excellent.

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.

We had an amazing stay! Very family friendly, lovely room, great view and delicious breakfast. Location is perfect, walkable to the town but far enough to be nice and quiet.

We had an epic time here at this Luxury hotel. The location is perfect, away from the noise, pollution, crowd and tourists. The hotel staffs are extremely helpful and will assist all the way. Janitha was exceptionally genuinely helpful. The pillows are the best we ever had. I wish we could buy similar one. If you want to unwind and relax in a luxurious environment, then this is the hotel to stay. I would stay again if I ever come back to Sri Lanka/Ella.
