The views!!!!! They are simply breathtaking, especially from the room and the pool area. The food was delicious and well presented. The breakfast in particular was really generous. The employees are so polite and they are doing everything possible to make your stay enjoyable. The availability of tuktuks onsite at a reasonable price.

Magical peaceful space set about 2k from the city of Ella, with a short tuck tuck ride to the city centre. A family run business who was so kind and nice. A big, healthy breakfast. A large double room with a big private balcony. Really comfortable bed. Would highly recommend for people who don't want to be in the madness and loudness of Ella. The owner arranged everything for us. He even recommended a lovely restaurant and dropped us to the door.

Almost everything. The staff and owner were very friendly and accommodating. The building, rooms and surroundings are beautiful and the breakfast was amazing. Choices between multiple Sri Lankan options as well as continental. If you are very critical, you could name the size of the bed as room for improvement, but that's it.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and everything was spotless. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure every need was met. A special mention to Kristian and his wife, who were so welcoming and made the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be returning!

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

    We loved the Mountain View’s.

    We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

    Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    Staying at Crystal Springs Luxury Hotel, Ella has been an unforgettable experience. The view from the room was absolutely magical waking up to misty mountains and peaceful greenery felt like a dream. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a warm smile. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and truly lived up to the "luxury" in the name. Thank you for making our stay so special we’ll definitely be coming back!

    Chaminda and his staff were very welcoming. Chaminda was very informative on local sites and services. Maridian Hotel is out of town but we had our own transportation, so this wasn’t a problem. There was also a bus that stopped directly out the front of the property which takes you into Bandarawela and the train station. Breakfast was plentiful, and changed daily. The view is amazing! The train line between Ella and Bandarawela can be seen at a distance.

    This place was just top notch! As someone who has been living in guesthouses/ hotels for the past two years this spot just has all you got. Private bungalow with an double bed, good hot shower and views all over Ella. Will and his family treat you like their own and not to begin with their free breakfast which has great variety everyday and everything is fresh out of his garden. All the best for your homestay and I can not wait to return to Ella!

    Ella Breeze is a wonderful hotel which I highly recommend. Rooms and service are great. It’s very comfortable and clean there. We also got breakfasts there during our stay - everything was fine. I want to thank manager Ajey who assisted us with helpful information about surroundings and helped us to organise transfer to Unawatuna even cheaper than they ask in the nearby taxi kiosks. Long live Ajey, may the power be with you!!!)))
