    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    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.

    The most beautiful views!!! Wow. The staff are also very sweet. Breakfast was delicious. The room itself is clean and has really nice timber furniture. There’s so many monkeys that hang out in the tree next to the verander and it was fun watching them :) You could walk into town if you really wanted to, however you’ll likely need a tuk tuk. The hotel organised the tuk tuk for us on our first day and we kept the drivers number as he was nice and cheap compared to others :) Ella town itself is so nice! Many restaurants to choose from.

    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!

    The room was so clean and well organized. The room was new with the all staff in it. There were some well thought details in the room like convertor first aid kit etc. The owner and his son Supun were so friendly and helpful. Hotel was located on the top of a hill with an amazing green mountain view. Traditional Sri Lankan breakfast served by the owner was so delicious. If you are going to visit Ella, Misty Peak View must be your place for staying.

The hotel is located on the top of a hill with a stunning 360 degree view from the roof (pool and bar also on the roof ☺️) very friendly staff who did their best to make our stay very remarkable! The buffet for breakfast is very varied and delicious. We had a room on the top floor with a great view, very spacious and modern design. Thanks to the team from the hotel :)

    Most amazing view from bed, the balcony and the rooftop. Lovely host - very friendly and very helpful. Delicious food - dinner was sooo good and brekkie was huge and AMAZING! Not in the main part of Ella, but a cheap Tuktuk drive away and well worth it for the view and serenity. Close to the Ella rock hike. Awesome spot to watch sunrise and listen to the early morning sounds of nature.

    Best view in Ella, hotel is literally on top of the hill. Really nice rooftop with a pool, room was comfortable and they had free water and toiletries. Breakfast was nice and the staff was very accomodating because they let us have early breakfast the day we were leaving. Staff would also bring us up and down the hill in their shuttle which was very convenient.
