Staying at Wood Palace in Ella was one of the highlights of my trip. The location is perfect — it feels like you’re tucked away in the jungle, surrounded by nature and total peace, yet you’re only a short stroll from town, cafes, and everything you need. That balance between seclusion and convenience is hard to find, but this place nails it. The family who runs it make the stay extra special. The mother who prepares breakfast is absolutely adorable — she cooks with such care, and her warm smile makes every morning brighter. The breakfasts themselves are delicious, fresh, and generous. The owner is a great bloke too — kind, genuine, and always ready to help with tips, directions, or just a good chat. If you want a stay in Ella that feels authentic, welcoming, and beautifully set in nature without being far from the action, Wood Palace is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🌿✨

Amazing stay a 5-10 min walk on the train tracks from the main town of Ella. Relaxing stay with a beautiful view over Ella rock and the valley. Great hospitality!! I don’t remember the name now but the guy who works there is such a friendly and kind human being :)

Nine Skies is the definition of boutique luxury. It is a small hotel with only 5 rooms and the service we received from all the staff was truly so personable this really felt like a home away from home. The design of the whole hotel is beautiful with a wonderful living room, with a cosy fire in the evenings, and our suite room was beautiful with a terrace. The pool has an amazing view over the tea plantation. All the meals we had were delicious. Our host was very friendly and helpful, organising day trips for us and setting up our own table with lots of candles for dinner by the pool one evening, and also set up our own private breakfast at a look out point which were both lovely experiences. This hotel is brilliant if you want a very quiet, secluded spot in the Hill Country with excellent service and food. It is an expensive hotel but it is worth the money.

They were absolutely incredible—I cannot express how grateful I am in words. The breakfast was fantastic and incredibly satisfying! Enjoying it on the rooftop while taking in the stunning mountain views was an unforgettable experience. The owner and staff were amazing! I took the highway bus from Ella to Galle, I accidentally left my small backpack on the bus when I got off. I called the bus company, but I wasn’t sure if they understood or what to do. So, I contacted the hostel. The owner reached out to the bus company and told me that the bus would return with my backpack at 2 p.m. (in 1.5 hours). Just as he said, my backpack was returned! Big thanks to the owner and staff!

Everything! The view is stunning, the restaurant is amazing, spa menu and gym facilities are perfect. Rooms are really nice and we loved all six days. The staff did everything to make us feel comfortable, and then even made a special cake for a birthday celebration. Gave nice recommendations to tea production and restaurant in Ella. Everything you can expect from a five-star hotel
