If you are looking for the perfect place in Ella to relax, stop looking you’ve found the right hotel. The staff was a real bonus, they are always trying their best to make you feel at home. Regarding the room itself, it’s quite spacious, very clean & the bed will offer you the best sleep. The cubes are truly the highlight of our trip around Sri Lanka. We initially booked one night but came back for 3 more nights. There is a room service and laundry can be done too. Special thanks to Eprival 🙏🏻

The room was clean, spacious, very well equipped and close to Ella center, but in a quiet area. The breakfast was big delicious, it is a putty we could not eat all. One day we tried the Sri Lankan breakfast and it was delicious (spicy, but this means traditional here). Also, the host was very nice and willing to help us with train tickets for Kandy, with taxi for Tangalle. They also have a laundry service at the property which is very good rated (Obey laundry service in Ella). We used it and we liked it, really recommended.

We highly recommend this place, absolutely beautiful views, 7 min walking from restaurants, clean and spacious room and one of the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka. The night that we arrived to Ella the guy who runs the place, came to pick up us for free, he was super helpful giving us tips and advice about what and when to see places. We asked a couple of time just for hot water to prepare te and both times they give us a big pot of tea with cookies and some fruits for free. Really lovely family, we will come back for sure!

    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.

    Beautiful place with absolutely stunning views at the waterfalls! Owner is helpful and is making sure that his guests feel like at home. Breakfast was tasty, coffee, water and tea can be delivered to the room. Hotel is a good place for sunrise hike to Ella Rock (it took us 1.5h to get to the top from the hotel on foot). Ask for cooking classes - owner's mom is a very talented chef and can teach you how to cook Sri Lankan dishes. Amazing experience and great people!

    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.
