We stayed for 2 nights and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer our questions and assist us. The view from the balcony was absolutely beautiful, a perfect place to relax. Although the location is a bit far from the city, the property offers its own shuttle service to the center at any time you need, which was very convenient. The only small downside was that the room got a bit chilly in the evenings.

Magical peaceful space set about 2k from the city of Ella, with a short tuck tuck ride to the city centre. A family run business who was so kind and nice. A big, healthy breakfast. A large double room with a big private balcony. Really comfortable bed. Would highly recommend for people who don't want to be in the madness and loudness of Ella. The owner arranged everything for us. He even recommended a lovely restaurant and dropped us to the door.

When you first arrive at new accomodation there’s always that little worry - is it happily up to standard or a little disappointing. No worries at all at the Cubes. This accomodation exceeded our expectations, with lovely attentive staff and large quality rooms. A highlight for us was the dinning area which had a great view of the countryside where we could unwind and hang out after the long road trip in. We would absolutely recommend to a friend.

The view of the hills from the bar and restaurant is breathtaking. The decoration of the room is very arty and even unique. Would recommend this place as a retreat for resting too. It has a nice little pool. Staff is helpful and organizes tuktuks for you at the best price.

The host was great, he didn't even ask for anything and drove us everywhere, he wanted us to experience the best for the short amount of time that we were staying there. The location is in the forest with an amazing watetfall view, even though it's up on the mountain, we could still get to the city and the main street relatively fast. All the tourism objects were nearby, we could access everything easily. They have their food, the breakfast was included and very tasty. The dinner was for a reasonable price, homemade, deliceous. I recommend this place

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.

    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.

    If you are looking for the perfect place in Ella to relax, stop looking you’ve found the right hotel. The staff was a real bonus, they are always trying their best to make you feel at home. Regarding the room itself, it’s quite spacious, very clean & the bed will offer you the best sleep. The cubes are truly the highlight of our trip around Sri Lanka. We initially booked one night but came back for 3 more nights. There is a room service and laundry can be done too. Special thanks to Eprival 🙏🏻

    It has a great, quiet location in walking distance (>10 minutes uphill from Ella town). The luxury room is very nice and comfortable and suprisingly the budget room is also very great, especially for this price. The hosts are amazingly kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend to stay at this homestay. The included breakfast is delicious. Optionally you can also have dinner at this homestay. Bonus point for the very cute dog.

    This is an excellent hotel. We struggled in Ella because there are so many options and it's hard to tell from photos/reviews. We moved from another place to Ella Soul and it was great. Clean, spacious rooms. Top food in the restaurant with a nice view. Helpful staff. Good location 5 mins max walk from centre. And great value for money. Favourite hotel of Sri Lanka trip.

    This hotel deserves its name! We had a great view on the surroundings: water fall, Adam’s peak and Ella rock. On top, we had the best breakfast on Sri Lanka in this hotel. The owners were very friendly. We were picked up from the main street to the premises by a tuk tuk.
