This was the highlight of our holiday. Don't hesitate, just book it and you won't regret it. Staff were extremely kind, caring, helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. Luxurious touch in service and surrounding garden and restaurant area. Food was excellent, try their Sri Lankan menu! Also the view was amazing. This was the best place we stayed in during our three week trip. We have already recommended Chill Ville to our friends. We will be back.

Lovely large bright room with floor to ceiling windows looking out across a valley. Great shower and comfortable bed. The hosts very kind and helpful. Location was good for stages 13 and 14 combined of the pekoe trail. It’s a 15min walk to Heel Oya rail station and from there you can get the early train to the start of stage 13 at Haputale. Stage 14 ends at Makulella and from there it’s a short tuk tuk ride back to the hotel.

A busy compact town with a young, hip vibe.

A busy compact town with a young, hip vibe. Prices are reasonable, weather can be a bit wetter and cooler than other parts of Sri Lanka. We loved the tea plantation and factory visit, as well as waterfalls and nine arch bridge. We were very lucky to see a train crossing (Dec18th 2025)as the recent landslides mean no current passenger carrying trains are running. Hopefully this is a sign that they may be back in service soon

Ella has an amazing vibe, it’s a very tourist-friendly place and a perfect base for daily hiking trips. It’s very different from other Sri Lankan cities and definitely worth a visit. But if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, choose accommodation slightly outside the center to avoid the noise

On the one hand Ella is really beautiful.

On the one hand Ella is really beautiful. Great views nice waterfalls, great hiking spots. On the other hand it is packed with tourists. You have to go out of the city quite far do find a more quiet area. Ella itself is quite small since there’s only one “big” road. For us it was way too crowded. It’s not the cute little local mountain village it used to be.

Stayed for 2 nights. Found it a bit crowded & it rained on both days. Chill Cafe is a great place to hangout & Somasiri is where you can get your essentials. 9 Arches bridge is...well, just a bridge but Ella has cute little train station and breathtaking views on the train ride down to Kandy.

It's a very nice, small town packed with restaurants and bars. The town centre may lack a bit of authenticity being on european side with trendy cafes and night clubs. Great for a short stay. Many activities around: Ella rock, Little Adam's peak, nine arch brige, waterfalls, tea plantations, Mahamevnara monastery, Many places ofering ayurvedic massage.

Ella is a great stop if you are heading from Nuwara Eliya to the south. It's mostly a tourist town, not that big. But the town is very organized and picturesque. The Ravana waterfalls is surely going to mesmerize you. And, if you are into hiking, this is a place you must include in your itinerary.

The bedroom and bathroom were big and spacious. Nice touch having tea making facilities in your room. Had full set of linen on the bed - had a top sheet! First hotel Sri Lanka for me! Breakfast was served on the balcony each morning. Menu changed each day. Always more than you can eat. I was picked up from the station and taken to my transfer at the end of my stay for no cost. The hosts were friendly and helpful. A short walk to Ella waterfall.

hotel and restaurant are located smack in the center of town with a Bank of Ceylon atm (no transaction fees) downstairs. the room is cheap and cheerful and the balcony is a shared terrace with furniture overlooking the main street. Now the best bit, the attached restaurant is very good quality and our included breakfast was one of the best we had in sri lanka. Make sure you have one meal here if you are staying in Ella

This is the perfect place from some peace away from the noise of Ella. Just 10 mins walk away and you set into this spiritual haven to relax. The views from the terrace were amazing, literally in nature. The twice daily visits to the temple and the Buddhist teachings made this extra space. This is not a luxury resort but it is like going home.

The breakfast was amazing, really top-notch! The view was beautiful, and the sound of birds made it so peaceful. We came here for our honeymoon, wanting something different from the usual hotels and buildings, and this place was such a special experience. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we visit Ella again.
