    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.

    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.

    Wow is the only word for me. We had a great time. Our Luxury tent was superbly situated face to beautiful mountain range and we experienced spectacular sunrise. Food was so delicious and our tent was also clean. The bathroom was something special and so clean. The owners are so kind and helpful. They look after us well and they guide us to the beautiful nature waterfall nearby. It was one of the main highlights of our journey . This is the best place we stayed during our holiday.

    Our stay at Zion View Ella was enjoyable overall. The hotel caters well to families with amenities like a kids' playground, swimming pool, and children's corner with games. The location is serene, just a short tuk-tuk ride from the city center.We found the hotel to have a good restaurant offering tasty breakfasts,as well as delicious lunch and dinner options. We appreciated the excellent services provided, including the children's club and convenient laundry service.

    Two thumbs up, amazingly friendly staff and breathtaking views of Sunset and moonset. View of the nine arch bridge and the valley was absolutely beautiful And the hotel was quite secluded and isolated from the busyness of the town in Ella. We would certainly stay again and will stay next time we visit Ella. Special thank Dharshan (one of the staff members) who was very friendly, accommodating, and always greeted us with a warm smile whenever we saw him. Thank you!!

    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.

A great point to start all your experiences while in Ella. The host and the entire family are a gem and I highly recommend a dinner there! You can ask to cook with the mum and learn the real Sri Lanka cuisine! Room clean , hot water and comfortable bed. Do not expect anything luxury but a REAL experience!

    The place is up the hill so you have to take a tuk tuk from Ella city center. Nevertheless, it has a very nice view and you can practice morning yoga on the terrace as it is covered with a roof and enjoy a breakfast. The hosts are nice people. This place is very affordable so even though the reviews are high, you cannot expect a luxury or anything like that. We were there for two nights and it was ok. I would not recommend it for a longer period.

    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.
