I had paid almost 300 euros for two nights . First room what we got paint was falling in shower then hotel staff has given second room where ac was leaking in room and water overall in room . We got then third room was bit luxurious but smell was not good . In booking.com is showing distance from center 300 meters but this is more then one km on hill in evening is dark if one wants to go downtown and foggy as well . We got set breakfast not buffet for two days . I am not very happy with booking.com as well this is not the way to cheat customers. I have paid big amount of money but i didn’t enjoy this .

    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.

    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.

    We had the upgraded room in 3 floor. This room had new Aircon, fridge and other things. Room as been refurbished. Big luxurious and clean. Big terasse and the weiw over Ella canyon. Staff was super and breakfast was great. (We ordered omellets beside the buffet). New manager that went beyond our exception for our stay. All of the staff was great! The hotell mayby need som touchups here and there but the main pool area, the new refurbished rooms and dining place was great! Overall the best in Ella for the money.

    The hotel was very clean and modern. The room has a comfortable bed and a big bathroom. Also we had a water heater with some teabags and instant coffee. The AC worked good and also there was a ventilator. We had a nice balcony and on the top there is another one, from which you can watch the sunset! The staff was very kind and helpful. There also is a laundry service right next to the hotel. Perfect to visit Ella, in about 3 minutes you are on the main road. We had a great time and even stayed 2 nights longer.

    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.

    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.

    Little Folly is in a perfect location to Ella, the hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, the hotel has a really lovely little rooftop area to chill out in the evening and it's incredibly peaceful. The room was clean with a terrace area to sit out on. Unfortunately during our stay it was heavily raining so didn't get to enjoy this but I can imagine it would be relaxing in the dry weather. The cake was amazing too!

    Great stay at this homestay. The view from the room and the balcony where breakfast is served is absolutely beautiful. You can walk into town from the location too. The staff are lovely and the breakfast is brilliant, different each day. There is a driving service from the homestay where you can use the car, we got to see all of Ella in comfort, but it is a luxury option so good idea to agree prices first.
