The people at The Cubes are fantastic! We arrived late in the evening and it rained hence the road was wet. The slope up to the accomodation was a little steep and our car had some problem going up. 4 guys came very quickly to check and helped pushed the car up! So very grateful. We were greeted with great smiles and welcome drinks...felt like friends instantly. Breakfast was great too looking out to the hills and had a good chat with the accomodation manager. On the whole, the staff were very friendly, helpful and patient. Thank you The Cubes!

Stayed 3 nights in this comfortable homestay with squeeky clean floors, it had multiple rugs inside the room and bathroom to keep the floor dry, a big balcony to sitout and soak in the greenery around. It is also very close to the Ella Main road so you can walk down to the happening area and still far enough to offer you a peaceful comfortable night sleep. Obey the owner also runs a laundry which explains the cleanliness of the linen. The breakfast spread was excellent on all days. The staff including Sankar, Obey and his wife are all really helpful.

The staff was really nice and helped us a lot! The cooking class is highly recommended. It's surprising to see the kitchen look a little familiar here. There's nothing not to like about vegetarian options. They give us budget taxi service.

    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.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. Tucked away in the hill country, this charming little town offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. Surrounded by lush green tea plantations, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls, it feels like stepping into a postcard. One of the best things about Ella is how laid-back and peaceful it is, yet there's so much to explore. Whether you're hiking up Little Adam’s Peak or the iconic Ella Rock, walking across the Nine Arches Bridge, or just enjoying a quiet tea with panoramic views, every moment feels special. The town itself is small but full of character, with cozy cafés, local restaurants, and friendly people. It’s also very traveler-friendly, making it easy to get around or find a good place to stay. And let’s not forget the cool mountain air—a refreshing change from the tropical heat in other parts of Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, Ella is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a nature lover, a backpacker, or just someone looking to unwind in a scenic spot, Ella will leave you with memories you'll never forget.

    If you are into luxury stays and instagram quality rooms this place is not for you. This place is.very affordable, cosy, family run house that is directly in the city of Ella. Rooms are adequate with.ensuite in all three rooms. Large fridge is available. Sudha, the owner, is lovely and spent time to chat with us. She is.very friendly and helpful and also prepares the awesome breakfasts we had. It is a two minute walk to the centre and four minutes to the train station. Highly recommend.

    Gorgeous cabins just outside Ella town for an excellent price. Staff and owner are amazing and so kind - they catered to our every need and took good care of us. The views are stunning, the cabins have every luxury you need (including Netflix!) and we loved the private pool and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was also delicious!
