The Residence Ella, hotel in Ella

Located in Ella, 3.3 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, The Residence Ella has accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

I had an exceptional stay at the Residence, Ella. I couldn’t fault it. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The staff were extremely helpful- Thimira and his brother were so kind and informative about the area and helped to organise tours and transport and made excellent food recommendations. The breakfast was beautiful and so filling. The location is really good also- a short distance to the town, but very walkable and it feels safe. I couldn’t rate this stay highly enough and would recommend- my only regret was I couldn’t stay longer as it was already fully booked!

Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area.

    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.

    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.

    in 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.

    The 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!

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.

We had a great time at the hotel and in Ella in general. He even arranged a taxi from Ella to the hotel and you can ask for him to arrange a taxi for a cheaper price.

Breakfast was nice and the staff was very accomodating because they let us have early breakfast the day we were leaving. Staff would also bring us up and down the hill in their shuttle which was very convenient.
