Offering a restaurant, Hotel Onrock is located just 1312 feet from the Ella Railway Station. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a work desk and flat-screen TV.

Hotei Onrock is an excellent choice for a stay in Ella. The hotel is spotlessly clean; the staff are attentive, warm, welcoming, and responsive to individual needs; is located close to Ella’s restaurants and shops albeit up a steep hill. My only criticism is that we found the bed mattress too hard.

    The stay at Ananda Rest Ella was absolutely peaceful! I woke up to the sweet chirping of birds, and the breakfast was amazing. The weather was a bit chilly and misty, which made it feel extra special. I highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway!..😊

    Ella is very busy and full of tourists, especially the young backpacker set. Traffic around town can be at a standstill and tuk tuks may try to overcharge you. However, the scenery in the area is definitely beautiful.

    We had a great time in Ella. The temperature is a nice change from Colombo. The 9 arch bridge is very impressive. Lots of foreigners in the streets, it gives the town an awesome vibe. The Barn an Chill restaurants were great spots with good food and good service.

    Ella Nine Peaks is for those who want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the town. It’s a good place to relax and rest. It’s rustic and basic, rooms are clean, open shower may not be to everyone’s liking!

    In last one week, I spent time at several cities of Sri Lanka and found that Sri Lanka has a good Pick me service (like UBER/GRAB, etc.) except in Ella. I tried this service at Ella but never found any Tuk Tuk or taxi at Ella using this service. If you are good at walking, or smart enough to use the local bus service, thats a different issue, else Ella transport system (private tuktuk, taxi, car or microbus) is very expensive.

    Ella is an absolutely bustling small town with lots going on and lots to see. You would need at a minimum 2 days to try get around to all the key sightseeing POI's. Good vibe in the town and lots of backpackers and great food/drink outlets

    The weather is cooling. The railway station is situated less than 5 mins away from the busy street in town. I rented a scooter to explores literally all the places of interest I wanted to go, including the tea plantations.

    Gorgeous location and absolutely beautiful buildings. Incredible wildlife; we saw beautiful endemic birds, a lemur and a small wild cat of some kind. Hotel manager was so kind and patient and the breakfasts were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Top tip, ask him to put you in touch with Sugala, a brilliant tuktuk driver - super reasonable and lovely bloke. Also close to a set of stairs for a challenging but unique entrance to Ella Rock!

    Great stay at this homestay. The view from the room and the balcony where breakfast is served is absolutely beautiful. You can walk into town from the location too. The staff are lovely and the breakfast is brilliant, different each day. There is a driving service from the homestay where you can use the car, we got to see all of Ella in comfort, but it is a luxury option so good idea to agree prices first.

    The views from our room (306) were absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is peaceful and quiet, which is a top priority for us—and features an amazing terrace overlooking Ella Rock. We highly recommend catching the sunrise from your room or the terrace for a truly unforgettable experience. The breakfast buffet at the Sky Bar was good, offering a mix of Sri Lankan and continental options.

    The view over Ella is wonderful (we had an deluxe room at the 2nd floor). If you don‘t have one of these you can take the steps to the rooftop. The way to the hotel is very steep (good to know for people who have problems by walking) but it‘s ok. It was clean and for Sri Lanka a very well hotel. Breakfast was great and very much. Lovely stuff.
