Find Hotels in Ella, Sri Lanka

"This hotel is located in the most amazing jungle - far from Ella town, but right on a river. Unfortunately, our daughter was sick so we had to check out before being able to walk to the waterfall or do any of the activities the resort has to offer. The hotel generously gave us a full refund, even though we were not entitled to one and helped us out in our time of need. Big thumbs up!"

"Short walk down a steep hill to Ella town, walkable to Little Adams Peak and the train station and nine arch bridge. The place offers lovely views and has a cute infinity pool and sun bathing terrace with bar which serves great cocktails, juices and beer. The highlight though was the curry, you need to order by 5pm as they make it fresh to order and it is without doubt the best rice and curry we had during our stay. The price is high compared to other places we stayed but that’s Ella it seems. The staff are great and we would happily recommend a stay here. "

"We loved our stay at 98 Acres. Unfortunately the election was on so we did not get to do the Yoga and we’re unable to book the tea tour until our last day but fortunately the hotel staff were soo helpful and friendly we can say our holiday was amazing. The staff at the cafe (were you can’t have a bad meal and struggle choosing as the menu is so vast) welcomed us everyday and couldn’t do enough for us. The amount to do around Ella is endless and the location of the hotel is perfect. "

"We had a really good time and were well looked after by the superb staff. Our room had sweeping views down the valley and towards Ella town. The hotel is reached by a steep and narrow road which means that it is away from the traffic but still within walking distance of the railway station and the town."

"We spent 4 nights at Misty Hills Resort and we absolutely loved it! The service was amazing and went beyond all of our expectations. Manoj in particular was fantastic and couldn't do enough to help us. Our bedroom was lovely - clean, comfortable and with a 4 poster bed. The wifi initially wasn't working in our room & Manoj did everything he could to ensure this was fixed...the wifi was great - we could even stream videos on our laptop :) After 2 nights, the manager kindly upgraded us to one of the larger rooms on the top floor, where the views were even better! Any issues we had were instantly resolved, the management and Manoj really couldn't do enough to help us - they organised tuk-tuks for us into Ella each evening and the manager event went to the train station to buy our train tickets for us at 6am! The service was outstanding and really made our experience. The location is great, it is a 2 minute tuk-tuk ride into the centre of Ella but it is definitely worth getting a tuk-tuk after dark. Being a little bit out of the centre worked really well for us and meant that we had fantastic views of Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak. I really would recommend this hotel to anyone; having spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, this hotel was undoubtedly our favourite! PS. they do the BEST pancakes for breakfast. "

"Perfect place to stay! Don’t stay in Ella town, it’s noisy, busy and views are poor. This hotel is up the hill so it has incredible views from every room and from the restaurant- the pictures really don’t do it justice. The best view we’ve ever woken up to! Plus, it’s only 5mins in a tuk tuk into town for dinner (approx 300lkr) Nothing is too much trouble for the staff- they helped us organise cooking lessons, moped rental and an amazing surprise birthday party for our friend. We were going to stay at 98 Acres but it was sold out- we still visited for a drink and thought Serenites views were even better but for a far more reasonable price. I will recommend to any friends and family visiting Ella. Thank you so much Serenite Ella."

"This place was perfect for a few nights in Ella. Location was very good- it was a short 5 minute walk into the main area of the town (which is good as the main street can be a bit noisy with the traffic and bar music). The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. The only room for improvement- the WIFI is very slow and temperamental- it was almost unable. I felt also the room would have benefitted from a safety deposit box. I would recommend this hotel in Ella to any potential visitors."
