Hotel City Grand Ella, hotel in Ella

Offering a barbecue and sun terrace, City Grand is set in Ella in the Badulla District Region. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free private parking and shops are available on site.

The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the receptionist lady was amazing. She went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ella. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Srilanka. This was on the top of the list of best stays ever and its because of this receptionist she just was somthing which cant be discribed from words. She has got such a pleasent and polite conversation. The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Good rooms (there was even a tv). Also, they are one of few hotels that allow people under 21 to book a reservation. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ella,

    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.

    Ella is a chilled laid back kind of place like Bali used to be, However the TukTuk Mafia are despicable rude, price gouging and trying to rip off every tourist. If you go to Ella take your own transport. You can rent your own TukTuks and Scooters. I encourage people to use Uber andPickme it works in Colombo. Honest TukTuk drivers are bullied in Ella As well as other tourist hubs in Sri Lanka.

    Good starting place for visiting the mountain area of the country. Downtown noisy and inundated with tourists. Those who want a quieter but equally stunning settling but somewhat more limited in amenities may do better staying in a smaller and nearby setting. If you are taking the amazing train ride, do so ‘backwards’ and start in Ella area.

    Lovely stay at W1 Ella, hosts were fantastic and very accommodating. The views from the veranda were stunning too! Very comfy beds and good facilities. Also huge breakfasts! You can walk to Ella Rock from here, along the train track and also into town. Lots of bars, restaurants etc close by, around a 15-20 minute walk. Make sure you have more than just flip flops with you. Beware, the road leading up to the hotel is not suitable for any cars. You can rent mopeds or a tuk tuk will take you up there but definitely don’t drive a car!

    I stayed 20 days in Sri Lanka but the only night I spent in Ella was the worst night. It rains all the time so you can't enjoy the city. I took a tour around, so a very bad insect hit my feet and made blood flow from them profusely. But the hotel staff and manager did the necessary and dealt with the matter very quickly and took care of everything .. I found the hotel average compared to other hotels and beautiful compared to the guest house. The staff is amazing, especially Isuru Karunarathna, he was really a professional gentleman.

    The room was so clean and well organized. The room was new with the all staff in it. There were some well thought details in the room like convertor first aid kit etc. The owner and his son Supun were so friendly and helpful. Hotel was located on the top of a hill with an amazing green mountain view. Traditional Sri Lankan breakfast served by the owner was so delicious. If you are going to visit Ella, Misty Peak View must be your place for staying.

    Super nice host. Made very delicious breakfast each morning. They have a small restaurant just next to the Apartment. The view into the valley is gorgeous from 2 sides. Good opportunity to put the hammock between the trees on the other side of the upper street. I booked it to be alone and have my space without distortion. That worked out here. So if you do not have big claims for luxury I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely friendly staff. Breakfast served on your patio. Bed, bathroom, room - all good. Within walking distance of Little Adam’s Peak, the Nine Arch Bridge and only a short tuk tuk ride to downtown Ella though there area number of restaurants very nearby.

Food was so delicious, and the breakfast too They helped us to book tuk tuk to get down to ella Town. This place deserves five stars for everything
