    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.

    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.

    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!

    The most beautiful views!!! Wow. The staff are also very sweet. Breakfast was delicious. The room itself is clean and has really nice timber furniture. There’s so many monkeys that hang out in the tree next to the verander and it was fun watching them :) You could walk into town if you really wanted to, however you’ll likely need a tuk tuk. The hotel organised the tuk tuk for us on our first day and we kept the drivers number as he was nice and cheap compared to others :) Ella town itself is so nice! Many restaurants to choose from.

    The hosts were very welcoming. They cater to you even on late night check ins. The hotel is amidst trees and you wake up everyday to a choir of birds. The view of the mountains from the top is amazing. They provide a very good breakfast of traditional Sri lankan cuisine. Don't forget to taste the cinnamon leaves. The location is very close to all sites in Ella. The hosts provide the locations of the sights and how to reach them easily.

    It was a very pleasant short stay at Ceylon House. It's situated in a ideal location which is central to many attractions. The room was fantastic - exceptionally clean and cozy. So is the hotel. Staff were super friendly and accommodative. Breakfast was top notch and we felt very relaxed though we were only passing by. I will not hesitate to book this place for longer on my next visit to Ella.
