The Residence Ella, hotel in Ella

Located in Ella, 3.3 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, The Residence Ella has accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

I had an exceptional stay at the Residence, Ella. I couldn’t fault it. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The staff were extremely helpful- Thimira and his brother were so kind and informative about the area and helped to organise tours and transport and made excellent food recommendations. The breakfast was beautiful and so filling. The location is really good also- a short distance to the town, but very walkable and it feels safe. I couldn’t rate this stay highly enough and would recommend- my only regret was I couldn’t stay longer as it was already fully booked!

    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.

    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.

    in short- Amazing! with all my heart. in detail- a small hotel with the BEST views we had from our bed in the entire Sri Lanka trip, overlooking the Ella Valley. the rooms with a balcony are worth the extra charge with an outdoor hot tub to top it. rooms are average size but more than enough, clean and cozy. the only downside is the weird electrical shower operator, but don't think too much about it :). breakfast is not buffet but a choice between English or Srilankan breakfast and both are more that we could finish.

    The host, Chanaka, made sure we had the perfect stay in beautiful Ella. It's a relatively new place and is still a work-in-progress, but despite that we had a pretty cozy 2-night stay. Since the hotel is a little downhill from the main road, free tuktuk service is available on call to the main road. The room had hot water available along with oven, mini fridge and electric kettle to make the stay even more comfortable. Last but not the least, the view from the room was breathtaking!

    I recently stayed at Ella view hotel and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. The service was superb, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the views from the hotel were simply breathtaking. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the city center, so it was easy to explore the area and try out some of the local restaurants. I especially loved spending time on the balcony, taking in the stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys.

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.

    The property is in a good area for those visiting Ella just a few minutes tuk tuk from town, for the low price you get what you would expect from a property on the budget end, basic rooms/facilities and friendly staff. The stay isn’t luxury however neither is the price point and is more than fair for what is provided.
