Ella Hotels | Places to Stay in Ella

August 22, 2022 Marissa Gamble

Laid-back Ella draws travelers to Sri Lanka's highlands with its mountain forests, tea plantations, and relatively cool climate. The wildlife-rich region is also home to caves, cascades, and secluded temples—plus the Ella Gap, which offers lofty views between a cleft in two hills.

The name of the hotel is true. The view from the room window gives the feeling that you are looking at all the beauty of Ella from the edge of the sky.. the Little Adams peak, Ella gap, Ella rock and waterfall is in front of You! It is really very inspiring. Rooms are big, clean. There is a large balcony and very good and large beds :) It's nice that the staff always asked how we were doing, the small technical problems were fixed immediately.

Stunning views

Reviewed By joeldowland

Stayed here for 2 nights. Amazing location with stunning views. Short walk into the main bit of the town. Breakfast was excellent. Rooms were big with mosquito nets over the beds. Only negatives were the restaurant was expensive compared with the prices in the town and Sri-Lanka in general and they advertise daily Yoga without giving a price on the boards so it appears that it is free but you get charged 2000 rupees when you check out. Reception say they tell you the price when you check in but I still think they should have the price on the boards where they advertise it.

Ella Planters Bungalow

A unique location where you can relax, in true hill-country style bungalow and Eco friendly colonial style boutique hotel. The climate is rated as one of the best in Sri Lanka - cool evenings and warm days offer a respite from the heat of the coastal resorts and is enjoyed by many Sri Lankans as well as foreign visitors. We are high up here at 1000 meters surrounded by the vast panoramas of the Ella Gap. Karandagolla is slightly lower down than the cooler tea gardens of Badulla giving us a more tropical air and richer variety of exotic plants and fauna. There is much wild country to explore on foot. "Cooking course in our own kitchen" Many and varied excursions can be arranged. The more active may engage with nature by climbing Little Adams Peak or visiting our local organic tea plantation. Alternatively you can just chill out and enjoy the fine food and comfort of the 'Bungalow', sip chilled drinks on the verandah of an evening, stroll in the grounds or slump in a hammock!

Tranquil paradise in Ella

Reviewed By balamuruhan

Beautiful rooms, lovely view and great hospitality. They looked after us exceptionally well. The food was delicious and the chef made modifications to suit our taste. portions were generous. The prices of food, beverages and laundry were very reasonable! This place is away from the touristy Ella just the way we wanted it. it was also cool to see the troop of monkeys that regularly visit. Getting to Ella town is easy- they even have their own rickshaw! Would strongly recommend it!

The best hotel i have ever stayed!

Reviewed By 267niinak

if you come to Ella, you MUST stay in this hotel! Amazing views, pool, food, room, staff, everyting! You can order breakfast from the special breakfast menu and everything we tried was very tasty. We enjoyed other meals aswell and always had great service with great food. You must meet especially Mr. Ajith who is the heart of this hotel. He had the best stories, trip advices, recommendations and we became good friends with him in four days! He really makes everything for you to have a perfect stay in there and it wouldn’t be the same without him. With love: Niina and Minna from Finland ?

Absolutely amazing hotel

Reviewed By chillswi

This hotel is amazing. The views are breathtaking. The rooms are large and comfortable. Great air conditioning. Great proximity to the town of Ella and places to see. But what’s best is the customer service. The staff is incredible. I have a great example: I accidentally left something in the room that was very important to me. But I didn’t realize I lost it until I left. (I live in America). I contacted the hotel and they found my lost item. And they offered to ship it to me. Luckily my driver in Sri Lanka was about to drive through Ella so I was able to coordinate with this hotel to have my driver pick it up and then he got it to be back in America. This was absolutely amazing. This hotel went above and beyond. I highly recommend this hotel.

Only a five minute tuk tuk away from the main town, Serenite is a must stay when in Ella. The all included breakfast is also delicious - especially the Dahl and sambal!
