The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the receptionist lady was amazing. She went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ella. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Srilanka. This was on the top of the list of best stays ever and its because of this receptionist she just was somthing which cant be discribed from words. She has got such a pleasent and polite conversation.
The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Good rooms (there was even a tv). Also, they are one of few hotels that allow people under 21 to book a reservation. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ella,

The Residence is a very cute property located in nature, and very close to the main viewpoints of Ella.
The style of the building is charming, and the staff is very helpful, reactive and welcoming. It’s easy to find, and you can park a scooter there if you’ve rented one. Breakfast is served directly to you so you can enjoy it from the terrace of your room. Otherwise, it’s calm, and you can also appreciate all the tropical birds singing.
The bathroom was clean, and spacious. You can grab a tuktuk very easily or walk around to enjoy the awesome views of Ella.

Hotel was located in very green area, surrounded by nature, beautiful place. Very tasty breakfast ( fruits, coffee, tea, fresh juice, all kinds of eggs, bread, sweets, marmalade) was served next to the garden, in very relaxing, calm area. Rooms were clean, super view, modest but nicely decorated. Staff was super friendly, helpful, smiled, always supportive with transfer for good price and all other needs and requirement. We highly recommend the hotel.

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 has great location in beautiful nature on the mountain with fantastic view. All people working there are very friendly and helpful. On the rooftop there are viewpoint where you can looke sunrise and sunset. Personal will organize tuk tuk for you when ever you need to go Ella or elsewhere. Or you can just take sun and swim in hotel pool area with fantastic view and climate. The climat is there better than in the south coast because of the fresh humid air.
This is the best hotel we stayed during our trip. It is a beautiful hotel located in a top of the mountain facing the ella rock mountain range. Room is very comfortable with other amenities This place was very calm and truly with beautiful environment.
The staff is very accommodating,received an amazing support from the staff.
Breakfast was very delicious and we have options to select Western or Sri lankan Breakfast.it was very nice and delicious.
Shadeeth was incredible. He gave us tips on where to go to get all the key spots in Ella such as nine arch bridge, Ella rock and mini Adam’s peak! The breakfast on our veranda overlooking Ella Rock was incredible. He gave great recommendations for restaurants in Ella Town which is a ten minute walk down the hill. He arranged a driver for us for our next destination with a stop at the tea factory. An incredible hotel with breath taking views.
The hotel was fantastic. The rooms had a modern design and were brand new! All areas of the hotel were spotless and I would definitely stop here again! The staff were very accommodating and even cooked food for us during one of the tropical storms! Breakfast each morning was really filling and the staff were great at giving us recommendations and where to go and visit in Ella. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
The area was super quiet to sleep at night specially that most hotels in Ella have no A/C and it was not to far from the main market area and restaurants in Ella. Staff gave me the best care. Breakfast was even more from what I expected, very delicious and it was surged at my own preferred timing. They also contacted me to let me know my room was ready before arrival which was very nice of them.
The location right inside a tea plantation, and Ella Rock view from the bedroom are priceless. You can have access to Little Adam’s Peak, the Flying Swing, and the Zip Line within minutes right from the hotel, which made us save a lot of time and benefit from a discount on activities. The room was very clean, and the staff were helpful. Breakfast was great in terms of variety and taste.
Unsurpassed room view (from the lower level) and deck view (upper level) - Mountains and a quaint waterfall. Wow!
Great rooms. Good location, close to town
Breakfast was included and was superb (Sri Lankan style)
Obliging hosts
Good Internet
Family run
(Encourage host to improve the infrastructure)
Recommend to anyone if you are not looking for luxury amenities
Indika was an excellent host and his accomodation is in a quiet secluded location. There so much to do around here being close to Stage 15 of the Pekoe Trail, close to tea tours of Amba Tea Plantation and so many other interesting walks. It is not a fancy boutique hotel. But it is exactly right for those wanting to feel more closely connected with the real Sri Lanka.
Amazing experience !
Don’t get intimidated by the rough road, I promise you this hotel is worth it .
The views were mind blowing, rooms were clean but what made up the best of my experience is how friendly the staff were . I would have recommended this place to anyone who visits Ella and wants to disconnect and enjoy nature !
Their place is really a luxury place. We got more than what we paid for. But A vehicle or taxi is required to reach the place from Ella city.Their customer service is excellent and very friendly. You can get luxury experience with superb mountain view. So we can be highly recommended. ❤️
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.
It was new experience for us to stay in a amazing views with wonderful service prompt efficient by the property owner. Recommended place in Ella if you want a luxury feeling with best effortabl price range. Love the service 💕💕💕💕
I loved this hotel so much! Great option for those who don’t want to stay in busy city of Ella. The breakfast terrace with bridge view was stunning! all greenery and mountains around! Great starting point for Little Adams Peak.
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).
Nice and helpfull hotel staff. Tasty breakfast prepared for your time slot. Great location in Ella city center - 1 min bus stop, 5min Railway station, 20 min nine arch bridge and 30 min little adam peak
(zip line)
Beautiful boutique accommodation in Ella. Very spacious, clean and comfortable rooms with a stunning view from the balcony. The breakfasts were amazing - particularly the Sri Lankan ones. Thanks for a great stay!
All review comments are true: small boutique hotel with only 3 rooms - comfortable and with nice balcony. Excellent location in central Ella but quiet - friendly staff and an impressive breakfast!
