Ella all in all has low standards of hotels. This one also need some renovation. But the manager try to do the best job and he is kind.
I saw that people who works there do their best with garden etc.
Swimming pool is small but perfect to chill.

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.
Great location with a beautiful view. Breakfast in great portion and delicious. Room was spacious and good for the value.
Nimal is one of the best hosts in the business; he sent a list of things he could help with before we got to his hotel and indeed he booked a trip for us to Yala National Park and Diyaluma Falls. He even helped us with finding a ride from Ella to our next stop, what more could we ask for?
We enjoyed his conversation during our stay for 3 days in Ella and genuinely thank his supportive and helpful attitude during our stay.
We booked this place because of the pool and the pool is really great, especially after a hike. The rooms are okay, yet the bathrooms are not very nice and they were not very clean. The staff was okay and breakfast was really good. The owner helped us to organize a shared taxi to our next destination. The hotel is up an steep hill and close to the center of Ella. An okay place to stay in Ella if you want to have a pool, if you prefer an super friendly over-the-top-location you might want to book one of the many home-stays.
This was our last hotel of our trip. The hotel itself was ok. The breakfast very basic only 3 types of fruit, bread or toast, then a Sri lanksn breakfast. You had a choice of eggs but that’s pretty much it.
No other meal service here and no bar.
Great location only 1.2km from Ella town so only 500 in a tuk tuk. Beautiful view of the waterfall and you can see the train track from the room.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Overall this hotel was good.
Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.
This place is amazing and is run by one of the kindest and friendliest families. The room is perfect; very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was also delicious and the view from the hotel is breathtaking. Overall, the hotel exceed our expectations by a mile and was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. I would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Ella, excellent value for money.
Our Ella stay was delightful, thanks to the attentive service at this hotel. The spacious, clean, and comfortable room exceeded our expectations. Though slightly removed from town, the calm setting was a plus for us, especially with our own tuktuk. The staff, though we didn't catch his name, was incredibly caring, ensuring all our needs were promptly met. Overall, a highly recommended retreat for a calm getaway.
Basic but clean and comfortable rooms, perfect for a family of four to crash after a long day of sightseeing. While the hotel is on a somewhat dark side street off Ella’s main drag, still a 2 minute walk to the main town road and about 10 minutes walk to the train station.
Breakfast was included and awesome, we all had delicious smoothie bowls that tasted as good as they looked. Super friendly staff too.
The hotel is with a beautiful view of Ella rock ,waterfall ,little Adams peak and from the top of mountain with the morning sun rising and sun set.
A modern room with really clean and modern facilities with nice bed,bathroom ,hot water.
A beautiful Sri Lankan breakfast one another different from day to day.
Hotel is located in the 5min tuk tuk drive from the city center.highly recommend this place.
This hotel was in a great location, just off the main road and in walking distance to about everything. The staff were so friendly and helpful with answering questions and offering suggestions of things to do and see in Ella. We also ate at the restaurant our first night and it was my favorite 4 vegetable curry I had while in Sri Lanka!
Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. Great room with a comfortable bed, slept really well here. Nice little pool area to catch some sun, but it is very small. One of the nicest places we've stayed in sri lanka. Its a short drive to ella town and they easily organise a very cheap tuktuk.
Immaculately clean, fabulous location, wonderful staff - highly recommend Ella Soul! We booked here after a horrific night in another hotel so to find this place was an incredible relief. Fantastic value too, and the brekkie on the rooftop was an amazing addition! 100% recommend!
The place was very clean and the host was the most friendly guy in all of Sri Lanka. He offered us coffee and tea and he gave us a ride and he did not ask for anything. Do not expect a very luxury room, but a very nice garden and room with the most kind host!
While about a 25 minute walk (or short tuktuk ride) outside of town the location of the hotel is breathtaking. Sapu and his wife were fantastic hosts and were extremely helpful in every way. If we return to Ella we will almost certainly stay here again.
The Hotel has a great 360 view of Ella from its rooftop bar/restaurant and pool area. The Rooms have a good view as well, however, if you have a room on a lower floor your view does get slightly ruined by an ugly looking building next door.
Host was great, very courteous. Place was clean and comfy. Comfortable beds. Newly built, looks almost like a 3 star western hotel room. It was like a home away from home.
Close to Ella Railway Station (about 500 m).
First of all the customer service is highly appreciated, Second thing is hotel view and luxury room facilities. All as per the given images by the hotel. I recommend for anyone to be ata this hotel 😍😍😍😍
We had the luxury room and it was. The most modern room of our 3 week stay in Sri Lanka.
We particularly liked that we had a private terrasse
The hostess was super nice
A lovely boutique hotel located near Kitha Ella station. Dave and his staff couldn’t help us enough. Freshly renovated with a beautiful view over the train tracks.
Great for solo female travellers to have the option of a female only dorm, and the common space with a view of Ella rock felt like a luxury. Good value for money.
