Nihal picked us at the Ella railway station and he provided us transport & guidance to visit all the places to see in Ella. He is a very helpful person and always willing to give his support in any case. The place is clean, calm and quiet and it is located very close to the nine arch's bridge and has a perfect view. Additionally the shower was fantastic.

Located 4.9 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Ella Wood Cabin provides accommodation with a garden, a terrace and free shuttle service for your convenience. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge.

Best Homestay we had in Sri Lanka! Tuktuk and Shuttle service through the owner, fair price! Better then the other suppliers, never forget to negation. Location is 3 walkingminutes away of the main village, we loved it! Perfect location to start directly without transport to nine arches bridge, little adams peak, ella rock! Laundry Service is nice (maybe not the cheapest one) We loved the breakfast and the Host Family! Was no problem to arrive late because of train delay. Minibar prices are super fair (cheap) also with Lion beer

Arawe is a newly renovated 150-year old nature cottage located around 400m from the centre of Ella.

The cottage stands on a 5-acre land overlooking a rice paddy field and is the only guest accommodation on the property.

Offering barbecue facilities and a garden. This lodge comes with 2 separate bedrooms.

We loved the space that our cottage offered us apart from the room itself. It was a lot of open space that allowed us to feel relaxed and be on our own The owner gave us some fantastic recommendations as well for the places to check in Ella, and the staff is absolutely lovely and amazing. They take care of you with all your requests and try to make you super comfortable

Featuring a garden and free WiFi, Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center is situated in Ella, 3 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. The property is around 1.1 km from Ella Spice Garden and 2.9 km from Ella Rock. The hotel offers mountain views and a terrace. Yoga classes are available at an additional charge.

Had and amazing stay! Just 2 nights but could have been a week. Just enough outside of downtown (a short walk or tuk tuk ride) to be peaceful and quiet but close enough to pop in for a meal, drink or a little bit of night life. The breakfast was perfect (great French press coffee) and my wife was able to take a yoga class each morning which she loved (she is a yoga teacher here in the US). The shower water pressure was great with plenty of hot water. The balcony off of the room was amazing with monkeys paying a visit in the morning. We slept well and didn't even use the fan provided. Will 100% be back to stay again. Thanks!

Situated in Ella, 4.9 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Tantra Ella Lodge features accommodation with a terrace, free WiFi, room service, and a 24-hour front desk. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a balcony.

Three things are outstanding about this accommodation: The accommodation itself, the host, and the location. The rooms are bright and newly furnished. My bed was very comfortable and I had everything I needed (from a hairdryer to a flashlight, everything was there). The terrace is outstanding. You can watch the birds from there. The location is very quiet yet central. The train station is just a few meters away. I enjoyed not being in the middle of the hustle and bustle and being in the center within a 5-minute walk. Last but not least - Angelo is an incredibly attentive host. He was always reachable and took care of all concerns (from 'a kettle would be great' to researching where I could get the best massage in Ella). Thank you, Angelo, it was a fantastic stay!

    What an amazing stay at the Spice Lodge, perfectly located for easy access to Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arches bridge, the spice lodge is a dream up in the mountainous jungle. It’s an easy 15 minute walk into town and the hospitality from Irosha made it extra special. We also did a fantastic cooking course with Irosha and her mother Karmila.

    This is the nicest lodge i stayed in my whole trip in Sri Lanka. Not too expensive but the view from our balcony is more than enough to cover the room amount we paid. You'll wake up with the Nine Arch Bridge and feel the nature from already. The breakfast was super good, the melon shake must try. Hehehe! Also the view while having breakfast is superb. The houst also is very kind to pick and drop us in the road since we need to ride the tuktuk to reach the lodge. Highly recommended.
