At the apartment complex, each unit is fitted with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, some units at the apartment complex also feature a balcony.

Continental and Asian breakfast options with warm dishes, fruits and juice are available each morning at the apartment. There is a coffee shop, and a grocery delivery service and packed lunches are also available.

The view was just stunning. We really enjoyed the breakfast with the mountain view. We saw some interesting birds, chipmunks and monkeys too. The hosts are welcoming and even though we had an incident in our room with some flying bugs (it was during the rain season), the staff helped us eliminate the issue in 10mins. It's really close to the center and we would've liked to stay another night but they were fully booked. The host let us keep our bags all day and gave us tea while we waited for the rain to calm down before we moved on to the next hotel.

This is an idyllic little retreat tucked away from the main thoroughfare. A lovely cabin which feels like it's immersed in the jungle, with views through the trees of the surrounding countryside and the sounds of the birds. The host is very friendly and provides a delicious breakfast and knowledge of the area. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

As an added convenience, the apartment offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property.

The owners were so very kind and helpful. A great husband and wife team with one of their daughters helping too. The property was quiet, positioned way out of town away from the throng of Ella’s night life and busy cafe’s. It was a relief to be met at Ella train station by the husband in his Tuk Tuk and taken to the homestay after a very long and cramped train journey. The walk would have been exhausting with luggage as all up hill. The view across the valley are beautiful especially at sunset & sunrise. The property was simple, clean and very comfortable.

Susan was really welcoming and friendly. He shared good tips on where to eat and get laundry done, became our tuk tuk driver while we were in Ella and offered a lovely breakfast service for a small extra charge. The view is so gorgeous and he helped carry our backpacks up to the room.

    The villa is in an excellent location, 2 minutes away from the main street. Poorna helped with arranging both the transfer from railway station to the apartment and also for local sightseeing. The kitchen is nice with basic supplies included. Few board games were also available.

    I recently stayed at Ravana Range Ella Hotel for one night and overall had a decent experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were offered many breakfast options. The food was also very good. The location and reasonable pricing make it a good option for short stays in the area.

    Everything. The place is very comfortable, we had booked all 4 rooms so basically we had the entire apartment with the kitchen. It is 10 Min walking distance from the city centre but it has a great view and waking up surrounded by the nature is just a gift. It is very clean, spacious, all rooms have a terrace and there is also a huge one on the roof top. Even if the breakfast is not included, we could use the kitchen to prepare it ourselves.

    Staying at Aloft View has been an increadible experience. The View from the Apartment and watching sunrise from bed is unforgettable. The Apartment is modern, offers everything you need and is way over Sri Lankan Standard. The Host Family from young to old were giving us a great time with delicous breakfast beeing served on the terasse, good recomendations and a lot of insights about Sri Lanka and its culture. If you want to go to Ella try to stay in this Apartment! :)

    This was our amazing, short stay in Ella. The room is located on the hill with an amazing view on the mountains. The room was clean, well maintained and run by a lovely family. There is a terrace to enjoy the view and relax. The owner was very helpful, she recommended a great restaurant, and offered transportation service and things worth seeing in Ella. We enjoyed the local breakfast! We recommend this cozy apartment to stay in Ella.
