Hotel City Grand Ella, hotel in Ella

Offering a barbecue and sun terrace, City Grand is set in Ella in the Badulla District Region. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free private parking and shops are available on site.

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,

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.

We highly recommend the hotel.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.
