    Ella is a tourist town, so many of the activities and services are geared for tourists. The variety of restaurants is wide with options from around the world. Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area. Hotels can also provide information about the local attractions as many are within easy walking distance.

    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery. Loved arriving here with the train, meeting other travellers and eating plenty of delicious food :) Will come back soon, next time for longer because there is so much more to see.

    The place is amazing! Feels like a 5-star hotel but with love approach. The host pays attention to the small details: the towels are soft and fresh, there are roses in different places as welcoming, arrival drinks with a cake. I felt in love with the place. The terrace is also so nice. I could observe the squirrels and some special Sri Lanka bird. The furniture is modern and stylish. It is very near to the center and bus station. I will stay there next time when I am in Ella. Amazing hospitality.

    We loved this hotel and are sad to leave. We already extended our stay by one night. The pool is perfectly clean with lots of sunbeds. It is the perfect place to chill and a short stroll down a hill to the restaurants and bars in Ella. The staff were so nice and friendly. The room had a fan but we didn't actually need to use it. The bed is comfy and we slept really well. And there's a pool table! It is such good value for money, we can't understand how it is so cheap.

    Our stay at Zion View Ella was enjoyable overall. The hotel caters well to families with amenities like a kids' playground, swimming pool, and children's corner with games. The location is serene, just a short tuk-tuk ride from the city center.We found the hotel to have a good restaurant offering tasty breakfasts,as well as delicious lunch and dinner options. We appreciated the excellent services provided, including the children's club and convenient laundry service.

    The location right inside a tea plantation, and Ella Rock view from the bedroom are priceless. You can have access to Little Adam’s Peak, the Flying Swing, and the Zip Line within minutes right from the hotel, which made us save a lot of time and benefit from a discount on activities. The room was very clean, and the staff were helpful. Breakfast was great in terms of variety and taste.

    Warm and cute family-run hotel, where we felt at home. The stuff was very friendly, the rooms were comfortable and quiet which ensured a very good rest. The views from the hotel are impressive, and it’s just a few minutes ride from central Ella by tuktuk. The breakfast was also very nice. It’s a family-run business that is slowly growing. You can feel they invest a lot of love on it.

    Indika was an excellent host and his accomodation is in a quiet secluded location. There so much to do around here being close to Stage 15 of the Pekoe Trail, close to tea tours of Amba Tea Plantation and so many other interesting walks. It is not a fancy boutique hotel. But it is exactly right for those wanting to feel more closely connected with the real Sri Lanka.
