    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery. Loved arriving here with the train, meeting other travellers and eating plenty of delicious food :) Will come back soon, next time for longer because there is so much more to see.

    Ella is a chilled laid back kind of place like Bali used to be, However the TukTuk Mafia are despicable rude, price gouging and trying to rip off every tourist. If you go to Ella take your own transport. You can rent your own TukTuks and Scooters. I encourage people to use Uber andPickme it works in Colombo. Honest TukTuk drivers are bullied in Ella As well as other tourist hubs in Sri Lanka.

    Good starting place for visiting the mountain area of the country. Downtown noisy and inundated with tourists. Those who want a quieter but equally stunning settling but somewhat more limited in amenities may do better staying in a smaller and nearby setting. If you are taking the amazing train ride, do so ‘backwards’ and start in Ella area.

    Ella Golden View Hotel got the best Mountain View and sunrise/sunset experience in Ella. We booked Room for 4 with balcony and the view is out of this world. Price is very affordable and Mr. Rathnayaka and his wife is the best host you can expect in this area, they treat like your family member, they are very flexible and you can ask any service or food any time. Overall it’s a Five star hotel experience in Ella. We will definitely go back again.

    The place is up the hill so you have to take a tuk tuk from Ella city center. Nevertheless, it has a very nice view and you can practice morning yoga on the terrace as it is covered with a roof and enjoy a breakfast. The hosts are nice people. This place is very affordable so even though the reviews are high, you cannot expect a luxury or anything like that. We were there for two nights and it was ok. I would not recommend it for a longer period.

There are several supermarkets in this area as well as restaurants. I have stayed at Flower Garden hotels in Ella. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Staff was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. Thank you so much.
