Ella is a tourist town, so many of the activities and services are geared for tourists. The variety of restaurants is wide with options from around the world. Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area. Hotels can also provide information about the local attractions as many are within easy walking distance.WilliamPriceUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10

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.OOliviaUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.SamanthaItaly - 10Scored 10
This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options.
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.MariaCanada

- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 277 reviewsin short- Amazing! with all my heart. in detail- a small hotel with the BEST views we had from our bed in the entire Sri Lanka trip, overlooking the Ella Valley. the rooms with a balcony are worth the extra charge with an outdoor hot tub to top it. rooms are average size but more than enough, clean and cozy. the only downside is the weird electrical shower operator, but don't think too much about it :). breakfast is not buffet but a choice between English or Srilankan breakfast and both are more that we could finish.AmitUkraine
- From US$55 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 353 reviewsThe host, Chanaka, made sure we had the perfect stay in beautiful Ella. It's a relatively new place and is still a work-in-progress, but despite that we had a pretty cozy 2-night stay. Since the hotel is a little downhill from the main road, free tuktuk service is available on call to the main road. The room had hot water available along with oven, mini fridge and electric kettle to make the stay even more comfortable. Last but not the least, the view from the room was breathtaking!SajibulBangladesh

Everything was perfect about this hotel - the staff, the breakfast, and the breathtaking view. The host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

I highly recommend Hights and definitely we will come again!
