- Ejvind Poul (9/5): -
- Nina (8/5): in the center of stunning nature - This is 10/10 for manager and stuff and for the stunning view from the room and common space. I had an impression that i pay a visit to one of my family members - it was very welcoming - you really feel the care. The room was good, the bathroom is very basic Breakfast is very simple but good - i don't need more Thank you for the experience and wishing you all the best
- Kamilla (9/5): JeĆli szukasz klimatycznego miejsca w Ella na Sri Lance to przyjeĆŒdĆŒaj do Ella Alpine Resort đ - To, co jest absolutnie wyjÄ tkowe w tym hotelu to jego poĆoĆŒenie - na wzgĂłrzu z widokiem na Little Adam`s Peak đ Co waĆŒne tez dla wszystkich wybierajÄ cych siÄ na trekking do Ella Rock - punkt wyjĆciowy z tego hotelu jest znakomity! Ćniadania do wyboru - lankijskie lub europejskie - obie wersje bardzo smaczne!
- Viktor (10/5): -
- Dylan (7/5): Pleasant stay with a lovely view. - Lovely views over the mountains and only a short walk to the town. Very smelly bathroom drains after the first day.
- Matthew (7/5): - Great view of Little Adams Peak and the valley sunrise. Food was great and the staff were very helpful. It's a 20 minute walk to town. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It's a nice bed and breakfast place
- David (10/5): -
- Simone (8/5): Charmante einfache Unterkunft in den grĂŒnen HĂŒgeln von Ella - Gute Lage NĂ€he Zentrum, Fussweg ca 15min. Schöne Aussicht auf die grĂŒne HĂŒgellandschaft von Ella und Little Adamâs Peak. Einfache, praktisch ausgestattete Unterkunft. Saubere Zimmer. Leckeres, persönlich zubereitetes FrĂŒhstĂŒck. Sehr freundliches Personal. Parkplatz vorhanden. Wasserdruck in der Dusche etwas schwach. Die Strasse zur Unterkunft ist holprig, aber gut befahrbar.
- sudipto (10/5): - âI recently stayed here, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. When I first looked it up, I saw some older reviews that were negative, but those were from years ago when the building wasnât finished. Now, itâs a beautifully built placeâspotlessly clean, no bugs (which can be an issue in Ella), with a comfortable bed, spacious room, and a pristine bathroom. Everything was just perfect. But the real highlight was the view. From the balcony, I saw the most breathtaking sunrises and panoramas you can find in Ella. The service was outstanding. Priyanath and his team, including the chef and another staff member, were incredibly attentive and always went above and beyond to meet my requestsâwhether it was arranging a budget-friendly car service or responding quickly on WhatsApp. Even the owner was always available and helpful. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting in the future. Itâs a hidden gem, and Iâll definitely be coming back
- Tamara (8/5): Beautiful view and relaxing vibe - Absolutely beautiful views and we loved that the location was a bit out of town because the walk was amazing and we saw so much wildlife. Staff are very good and was always available if we needed anything. The breakfast included was good and bonus is we had monkeys to watch while eating đ
- Tegan (10/5): - One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka! The host was very welcoming and it was a pleasure getting to know him and talk about his country. We were greeted with tea and biscuits on their balcony which has jaw dropping views! You are right in the middle of nature with the mountains surrounding you get easy to get into the centre of town. The room was clean and nicely decorated with a lovely balcony and with the same wonderful view. We had a delicious traditional Sri Lankan breakfast as well. Would highly recommend!
- Janine (10/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Das Sri Lanka FrĂŒhstĂŒck hat uns sehr geschmeckt. Das Highlight war natĂŒrlich die Aussicht vom Zimmer und beim FrĂŒhstĂŒck. :)
- Philipp (8/5): -
- Urvashi (10/5): Perfect choice in Ella close to shops and restaurants - Lovely little place tucked away in peace and quiet yet just 10-15 min walk to Ellaâs main road of restaurants and shops. Simple decor. Bed has just a sheet but blankets were provided on request. Good shower with consistent hot water. Lovely balcony with incredible views of the valley. Friendly staff. Great choice for breakfast. There is a great bar just opened next door that does lovely cocktails and some snacks. Everything was lovely with our stay
- John (10/5): - This property is incredibly situated with an amazing view down Ella Gap. The rooms are built into the side of the hill, with wooden doors and windows openingnupmon the view - so tjink more like a challet (or lodge!) than fancynjotel room. You will need your mosquito repellant. The staff are really lovely and can't do enough for you, helping to make plans for hikes, arranging transport, doing any washing you have- they are really spot on. The hotel is up Waterfall Road, which is essentialy a bumpy track, but Tuk Tuks can get up there easily enough. There is a little shortcut into town, walking along the railway (perfectly normal in Sri Lanka and if a train comes, you could easily outrun it!), then, especially at night, best to junp in a Tuk Tuk back up to the Alpine Lodge. It's a very relaxing place, easy to access hiking routes, and a world away from downtown Ella whoch is very touristy. I hoghly recommend a few nights here.
- Marcel (6/5): Geen aanrader. - Het uitzicht is prachtig. Onpersoonlijk hotel. Ze doen hun best maar je mist de warmte die we in andere hotels wel hebben ervaren. Ontbijt is iedere dag hetzelfde (omelet, worstje, fruit, sapje, toast met jam). Prijs/kwaliteit niet in verhouding.
- Brigitte (10/5): Super sĂ©jour - La vue magnifique et le confort des chambres. Le personnel trĂšs sympathique et attentionnĂ©. Le rapport qualitĂ©/prix un peu Ă©levĂ© en comparaison avec dâautres Ă©tablissements.
- Susana (10/5): Wonderful magic stay in the middle of nature! - Everything! The best things are the simple things, the hotel was so simple but the location and the facilities were so magic that we loved it. The sunrise is amazing! Recommending it to my friends! The staff was amazing with us! Nothing
- GrandTour59274797096 (10/5): Ella alpine resort is more than just a staging place! - I had the most serene and heartwarming stay at Ella Alpine Resort for 2 nights, and I genuinely can't recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such warmth and care. Special thanks to Indran (the kind caretaker), John (the amazing cook), and Priyantha (the ever-attentive manager) â they made our stay unforgettable. The hospitality was beyond my expectations. They took the time to understand what we liked and customized meals just for us. As someone who prefers fresh fruit juices, I was so delighted they had them readily available. The food was not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared, and the desserts were a lovely surprise! Cleanliness is always a priority for me, especially the washrooms â and I was thrilled to find everything spotless and fresh. My parents, uncle and aunt accompanied me, and they enjoyed every moment of the stay too. And the view... absolutely breathtaking. I had plans to visit a viewpoint for sunrise, but honestly, the view from the resort itself was more than enough. Mornings were spent sipping tea, reading a book, and meditating outdoors â all surrounded by natureâs calm and beauty. It was incredibly grounding. As someone who works in branding, I truly appreciated the aesthetic details â the green and blue color theme flowing beautifully through the curtains, pillows, and towels, in harmony with the white linens and brown wood furniture. It felt so well-thought-out and intentional. Even the view outside matched â rich green hills and the endless blue sky. One detail that touched me deeply was their logo â a hand gesture symbolizing giving. That really resonated with my experience here â I truly felt received, cared for, and appreciated. This resort suits everyone â families, couples, solo travelers. Iâm already planning a solo trip soon, and another visit with my brothers during their holidays. Ella Alpine Resort doesnât just offer a stay â it offers a feeling. A vibe. A memory that stays. Highly, highly recommended.
- Camilla (10/5): - A really lovely accommodation with the most incredible views. The room was clean and spacious with a balcony so you wake up to a view of the mountails The host Priyanatha is so warm, welcoming and always available to help. Breakfast was lovely (especially the hoppers). A short walk (or tuk tuk) into town. Loved my stay here! Thank you!
- Estefania (8/5): Very good -
- Damla (9/5): Superb -
- andrewdY1570GJ (10/5): Indulgence was super as always - Thanks to management of the property. My daughter and I had a lovely and peaceful stay. The rooms are clean and with all the basic amenities. A very homely care and the food is marvelous. I observed that the management took personal effort to locate a guest's phone which she has left in the tuk tuk The view from the hotel was superb. The management was kind enough to organise a guide for us to take us through this unbelievable landscape in Ella. Real value for the money.
- janhT9586AE (8/5): Great view with the Sri Lanka hospitality - We stayed for two nights to visit Ella area. The hotel, the dinner and breakfast where good. The room clean and big enough. The hospitality was great. And the view was great. To get to this place take a tuktuk and be aware of the steps to the hotel. But they take care of you. The only small thing was the hard bed, but if you prefer that it's okay.
- Elinask (10/5): Stunning views and spectacular sunrises - This beautiful hotel is a 25-minute walk from the centre of Ella, offering stunning views over a lush valley. The sunrises here are truly spectacular. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Breakfast is great, and the rooms are clean and spacious. While thereâs no air conditioning, the ceiling fan does an excellent job of keeping the room cool in the temperate climate of Ella. The road leading up to the hotel can be a bit muddy during rainy weather and has an uphill slope, but itâs manageable. At night, the path may not be well-lit, though youâll still feel safe walking.
- Viraj Kiran (10/5): - Property is like 1 km away from the main Ella town , but scheduled but the view from the hotel is amazing , best sunrise view, nicely managed , staff is amazing and very helpful
- Mimmi (8/5): Very friendly staff and stunning view! -
- Patrick (6/5): - The resort enjoys a wonderful view of the valley and the staff are incredibly friendly. Each room enjoys a breathtaking view and a high risk of visits by the local monkeys. We ranked the resort as average because of the price point and poor amenities. The property is twice as expensive as neighboring properties, but without the amenities or services. We would have given 4 or 5 stars if the property presented itself as a hostel and not like a resort. Also of note, guests are required to climb steep stairs to enter or depart the property.
- Malgorzata (10/5): Amazing View - great value for money! - PLACE We really liked the fact that this place itâs a bit far from the city center (15min walk with quite narrow road - not so steep I could easily do it couple times and Im not fit person ;) which make it quite place with a beautiful view on little Adamâs peak- you can look at the sunrise from your bed (!!!) Still next to the property you can find couple of bars and restaurants and cooking class and laundry place. You can also enjoy very tasty Sri Lanka ( or English) breakfast with this stunning view. PEOPLE Smiling and very friendly stuff, you can approach them with any favor and they will help.
- Larry Vic (4/5): - Unpaved rode getting to this place. Construction in progress. Steps going down to rooms uneven and no railings. Room spacious and basic. No decor. Love the shower and balcony overlooking the mountains. Staff very friendly.
- 478ingridm (10/5): Rest and relaxation - We really enjoyed our stay at Ella Alpine Resort. The staff were polite and helpful. The rooms were clean. When you come, be sure to notice that the furniture is made of solid wood. What a nice touch. We enjoyed seeing a variety of birds from the terrace and spotting a deer while eating breakfast. One afternoon's "monkey migration" of about 30 monkeys going across the terrace on their way down the hill had me laughing out loud. The resort is in a quiet location which is great for getting good sleep!
- Gosia (10/5): Highly recommended - I really enjoyed my stay at Ella Alpine Resort - amazing views, super friendly and helpful staff going out of their way to make your stay pleasant. They prepared super tasty dinner for me and breakfast for take away as I had an early train. Highly recommendedđđŻ
- Paul (10/5): - The host and staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful views and a great breakfast. A 15 minute walk or 5 minute Tuk Tuk into town. Highly recommended!
- Jarnal (10/5): - I had a fantastic stay at Ella Alpine Resort! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make my visit memorable. They were incredibly helpful in arranging all my activities, ensuring I got the most out of my time in Ella. Each morning, I was treated to a delicious homemade breakfast, which was a perfect way to start the day. The property itself is spotless and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The real highlight, though, is the breathtaking viewâit overlooks the valley, creating a stunning backdrop for a truly serene experience. If youâre looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Ella, I highly recommend Ella Alpine Resort!
- Vinod (10/5): - guests should be treated. Breakfast was fantastic, made freshly by John.
- Ruben (9/5): Superb - Great staff very helpful, beautiful view and big rooms Challenging to get there , bad road
- Paula (10/5): Top view - Amazing view from the terrace, super attentive and kind staff - they are very responsive and will help you with everything. The rooms are nice and clean, you can start the Ella Rock hike from here going along the train tracks Maybe the bathrooms could use a little refreshing
- Charles (10/5): - Well worth the room rate. Beautiful view from the room. Manager was very very helpful. Not easy for a car to get to from the main part of Ella but easy to walk.
- Amanda (7/5): Good -
- Priscilla (10/5): Simple and restful lodge! - A simple lodge with awesome views! I was gently greeted by the rising sun. No Aircon but temperatures were between 16 to 18 degrees Celsius in the early morning. You need to be moderately fit to climb down 2 flights of stairs to reach your room. The road up is very tight and big cats may have difficulties going uphill in the tight environment. Hotel manager Priyanatha helped me book a very punctual Tuk Tuk that fetched me up and down. Thank you!
- Velislav (9/5): Superb - Perfect view, delicious food and friendly staff.
- Richard.earth (7/5): Good - The veuw is very nice. Rice and curry was nice.
- Babak (8/5): - The staff members are great. Property is a bit old but clean and functional with a fabulous view. However access to the property is slightly difficult.
- V9829RLveronicas (10/5): Wonderful view and super kind staff - The staff were super kind and very welcoming especially Piranatha the manager. He also helped find me a lovely tuk tuk driver Vijay who became my guide. The room had an amazing view and the breakfast was fantastic. They also did my laundry for a reasonable rate
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing view! Highly recommend
- Maxwell (10/5): Perfect Place to Stay! - This is the perfect place to stay! Beautiful/modern facility, excellent breakfast/dinner options and able to walk into town. Very spacious room with a stunning view of the mountain side. The staff could not have been more helpful/nice/attentive.
- Berit (10/5): Wonderful view over the mountains - Lovely veranda with fantastic view to mountains. The owner and staff are so nice and friendly and very helpful. Comfortable large beds, clean room.
- Hugo (10/5): Perfect, the place, the services, the employee everyone is really nice - The view is amazing
- G1792ZLannem (10/5): Serviceminded manager made the stay a nice experienced. - We had a very nice stay the two days we stayed in Ella, so thank you manager Priyanatha. He was serviceminded and very nice to talk with. The breakfast was good and the wiev was fantastic. And if we needed something we got very good help. He arranged tuk tuk to the Lipton tea plantation and taxi to Kandy.
- Maipenbc (10/5): Escape to tranquility - Nestled in Ella on WaterFalls Rd is the âElla Alpine Resortâ offering a serene stay, great views and service. We booked a 4-night stay and our room was clean & comfortable. I requested a hair dryer and one was promptly delivered! Currently under new ownership and undertaking improvements, the owner kindly checked in via WhatsApp, before arrival, on arrival and during our stay. The new onsite manager, Priyanatha is also amazing! He was welcoming and made our stay very comfortable and memorable. Breakfast (if your room includes this) was always prepared fresh by the cook with delicious fresh fruit & juice each day to your liking or request. On one night we requested dinner (as we were returning late after a day trip) and this was made to our requests and was also yummy! The property is walking distance to the town Center or a tuk tuk will also get you there. Only issue is the road to access the property. I know this has nothing specifically to do with the Alpine Resort! However many hotels, resorts, home stays, rooms to rent are on this road and it would be awesome if they banded together to ensure access is improved. Currently some sections are narrow and difficult to drive making it difficult for cars and even the Tuktuks! Recommend this hotel for a wonderful getaway from the noise and bustle of the town. Night skies are just awesome!

- Madushaniinceylon (6/5): Stunning view - I arrived to this wonderfull resort after spending a week in other places in Sri Lanka. The room was very Nice, with a stunning view over the mountains in Ella. Since the resort is away from the city center, there is very Quiet here, which is great if you seek calmness and quietness. For me as a solo traveller, it was too quiet here, and too far away from the city center, although the view was simply stunning. The host Indran was so sweet and gave me a Warm welcome. He made breakfast for me everyday, with variations of juice and fruit plates. He also showed me Little Adamâs Peak, and Nine Arch bridge, and helped me taking pictures. I experienced spiders in my room, and since I dont like spiders, it was a problem. I also experienced a lot of noise from animals outside, especially from birds. During the election, I wanted to leave before I was suppose to, and the host Rochane adviced me to wait to before or after the election, so I decided to leave the hotel before the election. He was so kind to refund me for 1 night and told me that He would give the money to Indran for me, which was really kind of him.
- A7855STceciliaf (10/5): Brilliant - Absolutely loved it. Indran was an amazing host and cooked the most delicious breakfast. Was super helpful getting transport and had great tips for Ella. Very clean room. Comfortable bed. Gorgeous views. The room had an outdoor setting for meals too.

- Mustafa (8/5): Very good -
- Mustafa (8/5): Very good - The team is so friendly Breakfast is amazing with the view The place is the best choise for relaxation Lovely dog available on the area around the resort area No words to describe the balcony view No hair dryer No Safe Not usual to have pick-me service or available tuk-tuks to take you directly to the city center so you'll have to walk for about 15-20Mins. " Eventhough the walking in that area was cool and good exercise to do đ "
- Allen (5/5): It was ok, good for young crew, cant recommend older crew - The location was ok lots, we only like to say nice things , they have a long way to go .and there trying .
- Adventure13770981699 (10/5): A great place to stay and experience Ella - We had a wonderful stay here! It's a great location for anyone travelling solo, with friends or as a family as we did. It is within walking distance to Ella Town. Our room was comfortable, clean with a lot of space on the balcony to take in the view. The best part about the room was that you can relax on your bed and take in the gorgeous view of the Ella gap. The manager Indran looked after us very well. We thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic Srilankan breakfasts he cooked! We would definitely recommend a stay at Ella Alpine to anyone visiting Ella!
- savytraveler_dey (10/5): Great Stay amidst nature - Very good location and views from the room. We could enjoy a wonderful breakfast with a view. Room was spacious and neat with a balcony. There was a bathtub and bathroom was large and clean. Location was a little away from main area and hence peaceful yet easily accessible.
- Jörgen (10/5): - Litet hotell uppe pÄ berget. Avskilt tyst och pittoreskt. Personalen service var det som gjorde hela vistelsen bra.
- sdissanayake01 (10/5): Excellent - It was a really nice experience at Ella Alpine resort. Rooms are very clean and from the room there is a nice view to the mountains. Especially staff is very friendly and the location is few minutes away to the Ella town. Further the foods are very tasty đđ»
- Ch0pstar (10/5): Great place! - Stayed here for a night with my partner during our stay in Ella, we were mostly exploring Ella during our time but the gentleman who ran the place was so accommodating and very nice. The place has great views, very comfortable and I highly recommended this place if you are in a budget.
- Kim (10/5): Very kind manager and owner which made my stay special. Very nice view and delicious food! - This place has an amazing view, with the sounds of birds in the morning and every now and the monkeys passed the place. From the bed you're able to see the sun rising in the morning very special! The manager and the owner are very kind and made my stay very special. Next to helping to organize interesting day trips they offered help when I needed it as something hard happened in my private life. They listened to what I needed and supported me in different ways (like going with me to the village, even offering help in Kandy or Colombo). A big thank you for that! The manager arranged tuktuk transport with very friendly drivers and he is a great cook by the way! The room was clean and big enough. It has a table and some seats inside and at the terrace. So I recommend this place from he bottom of my heart! Don't have any remarks on this... :)
- Bernardo (10/5): Exceptional - The room was great with the best view for sunrise. Staff was really friendly and welcoming and made things easy for us, we also used their laundry service and everything was very well managed. Breakfast was delicious as well. We really recommend this place in Ella! The breakfast area needs a bit of shade as it gets too hot!
- Sofia (10/5): Boende med superfin utsikt - Boende med magisk utsikt. Rummet var simpelt men fullt funktionellt och helt precis vad vi behövde. Utsikten frÄn rummet Àr fantastisk. Personalen Àr supertrevliga och vÀldigt snabba pÄ att svara pÄ frÄgor. Boendet har endast tre rum vilket gör att boendet kÀnns vÀldigt privat. Ligger ca 10 minuters gÄng frÄn centrum (perfekt enligt oss).
- Kearabetswe (7/5): Good - The views were magnificent and the caretaker was very helpful in organising transportation to the main road. The beds were comfortable too Wasn't told to leave my key behind so i came back to an unmade bed and the previous nights trash.
- Helen (10/5): Exceptional - Rooms clean and comfortable with amazing views. Hist was super friendly and helpful. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Ella with a few hills, though to be expected in the area!! Nothing to dislike
- Simon (5/5): Passable - Nice staff and view, short walk to the village using the rails Part of the accomodation outside the room is not maintained properly. It does therefore not have a pleasant atmosfere, way to expensive for around 50 dollar
- Tamas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandhya (10/5): Exceptional - Caretaker of the property was very good Great view Room
- Adriaan (6/5): Pleasant stay - The staff went out of their way to accommodate us in every way. Towels and bedding was fresh and clean which is important to us. The facilities could do with some maintenance now and then. Our kettle we had to put next to the bed as the table was to low and could not reach the power point.
- Steaderz (5/5): Passable -
- K (8/5): Very good - Location of resort Approach is so deep. Climing up from resort is very hard for old people like us
- Katie (8/5): Amazing views, quiet and comfortable room! - Great location and amazing views. Easy walk along the railway tracks into Ella. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi connection was brilliant! Nothing that we didnât like, but would love to see how this place grows in the next few years! Lots of room for potential.
- Maribel (10/5): Small and nice hotel located on the top of a mountain. Great views and only 10 min walking distance from city center. St - Staff, location, views, breakfast
- Edward (8/5): A nice quiet guest house in the outskirts - The room is basic but has all you need, there is a wide door access directly to the front garden. The upper level rooms have a nice view of the valley. The caretaker was extremely kind, and waited for me when I arrived super late. The owner was also very helpful and available online. The bed was comfortable, and the shower nice and clean. Water pressure was pretty decent too. Location is not too far from town, if you walk along the track. The last stretch is extremely dark at night though, so at night you'll probably need a rickshaw. There is no window in the room that can be open, as the front wall is a door. No shortage of daylight, but fresh air at night is a problem.
- Taalen123 (9/5): Great stay with an amazing view - Fantastic view, super friendly hosts and delicious breakfast. We had a great stay :)
- Voyage54528000234 (10/5): One day stay at Ella alpine resort - Great rooms! Amazing view! Staff is very friendly! Cooks amazing food! :) You can request him to cook Srilankan special food. Well maintained stay and very serene experience ! Overall it was a peaceful spot!
- shS8029MM (2/5): Very basic, uncomfortable more for budget travelers - Biggest complaint is the 6 flights of deep stone steps to get to the rooms. We were out of breath every time and it was a barrier to us wanting to freely leave the room. Thereâs only breakfast no other food. Rooms are very basic- mosquito nets had holes in them, rough towels no hairdryer. The proprietor was nice but spoke no English. The breakfast is Sri Lankan style and good. Bathroom is very basic and the toilets need to be updated.
- lisapX3662FI (10/5): Amazing Views! - Ella Alpine Resort was fantastic stay! We stayed for 4 nights. Amazing views from our room. Huge King Size bed which was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic especially the Sri Lankan food made by Indran the manager. Indran was great! Provided us with afternoon tea, assisted with laundry service and transport from Ella. Ella Alpine was responsive to any messages...We are full time travellers and highly recommend Ella Alpine Resort!
- Lisa (10/5): Great stay! - Indran is the manager on site and he is so helpful. He would bring us tea in the afternoon, assisted with tuk tuks when it was raining. Laundry service was not working but arranged laundry at a nearby Guesthouse as well as transport via private to Udawalawe National Park. Breakfast was great in the morning and the view spectacular overlooking the valley and Little Adam's Peak. Bed was comfortable. Great recommendations for dinner at Cafe Chill...we ate there at every meal! Bed was comfortable. Definitely recommend. Everything was perfect!
- Anastasia (10/5): Perfect stay in Ella. Great view, great location, great wifi, great breakfast, great staff⊠Great accommodation! - Fantastic stay here. Room was clean with a stunning view of Little Adamâs Peak. Nice walk via the train tracks to Ella (around a 15 minute walk). Great wifi in the room, hot water, kind staff and the breakfast was the best breakfast we have had in Sri Lanka⊠Ask for the rotti and dhal curry, AMAZING! Indran, our friendly host, couldnât have been any better and even arranged a TukTuk for us to go to the train station after our stay. We couldnât have dreamed of a better accommodation in Ella⊠Donât hesitate to book! :) Everything was great :)
- Hindrik (9/5): Best morning views ever - amazing views, lovely breakfast, great rooms and a caring manager, what more can you wish for? bit hard to get uphill, but totally worth the views (+ nobody really wants to stay in downtown Ella)
- Dierdre (10/5): Blissful - Amazing view of surrounding hillsides and valley, serene, soft sound of the train adding to the great vibe. We drove up, they have a carpark up on roadside. Indran our host was gracious, I really liked his kindness, great cooking, helpfulness and calming nature. He walked us up to the shortcut so we could walk to nearby waterfall. I loved this place. We ran 4 devices off the WiFi with no problem and enjoyed the hot baths and sitting on the patio drinking tea.
- Estrada (10/5): Fantastic View, excellent WiFi, friendly staff. - We made a last minute booking on our visit to Ella and we were pleasantly surprised. The view from the room was fantastic and the sounds we were woken up to were the chirping of the birds. We were able to attend our Teams meetings using their WiFi and the speed was fantastic. I will be visiting the property again, next time I come to Sri Lanka.
- Cleo (8/5): Nomad bargain - Fantastic WiFi. Amazing view. Really suitable for what we needed from a remote working perspective. There was desk space for both of us and it is a quiet part of town. It's the best WiFi we've had on our Sri Lankan trip. Even the people who live in Ella complemented the view. Room wasn't bug proofed. So when there were swarms of flying ants, although they are harmless, they caused discomfort.
- Nemindi (10/5): Stunning view, comfortable rooms, reliable Wi-Fi, and friendly staff. - I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ella Alpine Resort, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The rooms are modern and cozy. Wi-Fi is excellent helped me stay connected to my work. The staff is really friendly and helpful.
- Vinod (9/5): this property comes as advertised! really worth the price. itâs not too far from the town so itâs a nice walk away. the -
- Judz (9/5): Superb - Beautiful view, staff are very helpful & monkeys very entertaining. Wifi was the perfect speed no glitches. Stairs are a bit fun let's just say you work off all the curry and roti but all in all we loved our stay and will definitely return. Ah not much, it was worth the price and had all we really needed. Simple, sweet.
- Luca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maham (5/5): Passable -
- Oalu (10/5): A PERFECT Getaway - A perfect getaway to enjoy your time-off with a breathtaking view and amazing food. Great ambience and you would definitely appreciate the tranquility in the atmosphere. Easy access to amazing trails and other key destinations was another plus point. We are truly grateful for the assistance given by the manager and staff throughout the stay. Overall, we highly recommend Ella Alpine Resort to any person/family who loves to enjoy a peaceful vacation.
- Andy (10/5): Watching the sunrise from my balcony was truly breathtaking. - I booked Ella Alpine Resort on the recommendation of a friend who had stayed here a few years ago. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the view was fantastic. Some reviews mention it being far from town but I actually preferred being slightly away from the town center. It only takes around 10 minutes to walk to town using a shortcut.
- Jcambo (1/5): Rundown and far off the main road. Do not stay here. - Nothing. I paid for the room and then went into town to stay at another place. It doesn't look anything like the photos. It seems it fell into disrepair during the pandemic and was never fixed up. It was rundown and dirty and there were mysterious stains on the walls, sheets and floors. The only person there was a young boy who didn't speak English. I sat long enough to charge my phone for a little bit. An older man from next door came and would... not... go... away. I told him politely that I would pay for the room but would not stay. He kept badgering me. I don't know who he was but I got the impression the owners had asked him to help out. The directions I was given told me to walk along the railroad tracks. That was the first sign something was wrong. I got a tuk tuk. We went up a big hill... and then back down the other side. There is nothing on the road and nothing near the hotel. Ella is a one-road town. I walked down to the main road found a lovely hotel off an alley called Ella Soul.
- Danilo (7/5): Good -
- Nikita (2/5): Totally disappointing - Nice view from the terrace. Big comfortable beds. This place used to be stylish, I guess... It seems to me the resort could be a very great place or used to be if there's much better management and staff. They don't have most of facilities they claim or they suddenly aren't working. But they have a lot of apologies to give you for your not little money. The staff don't understand you at all. Now I'm talking not about the languages (even speaking Sinhala and Tamil can't help you), but they don't get any idea how to make the rest comfortable. Why do I have a bathtub without hot water? Where are toiletries? A liquid for cleaning utensils instead or shower gel? Ants are everywhere... The room, especially the floor is really cold. The wi-fi is ok upstairs, but very weak in the room downstairs. All the time you need something you will have to ask the manager in Colombo about it. SERIOUSLY?
