Almost everything. The staff and owner were very friendly and accommodating. The building, rooms and surroundings are beautiful and the breakfast was amazing. Choices between multiple Sri Lankan options as well as continental. If you are very critical, you could name the size of the bed as room for improvement, but that's it.

Don’t go expecting a 3 star experience. Upali the owner has thought of everything and you will definitely feel like you have had a 4/5 star experience. Can’t imagine there are better views of the bridge. Breakfast was amazing. Tea is served like the old Ceylon days in a proper tea pot. Bed is comfy. Plenty of hot water. Don’t worry about no AC as it’s actually a little cool in Elle. Over my 24 hours there I saw 5 trains at different times of the day. I would suggest that you walk down to the bridge in the early morning to avoid the crowds and guarantee some great photos without people in the background. An absolute must if you are visiting this area.

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

    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.

    I had a wonderful stay at Hotel on the Rock. The highlight was definitely the stunning view from my top-floor room, overlooking the valley – absolutely breathtaking! The location is perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to the center of Ella, making it easy to explore. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the breakfast, which was quite basic, but overall, the experience was fantastic. Highly recommended for the views and hospitality!

    You can not surpass the views from this property. It is ideally situated near the top of a hill that affords uninterrupted views of Ella gap. The service staff were all very friendly, helpful, and approachable, in particular Ranjith, in the restaurant. Breakfast is plentiful and varied. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom is clean and utilitarian. It's a nice hotel but those views are the star attraction.

    hotel and restaurant are located smack in the center of town with a Bank of Ceylon atm (no transaction fees) downstairs. the room is cheap and cheerful and the balcony is a shared terrace with furniture overlooking the main street. Now the best bit, the attached restaurant is very good quality and our included breakfast was one of the best we had in sri lanka. Make sure you have one meal here if you are staying in Ella
