3-Star Hotels in Ella

Staff was friendly and polite and very accommodating The location of the hotel was great as it was within walking distance of downtown

I had an incredible stay. The staff were beyond friendly and went out of their way to ensure I felt welcomed and comfortable throughout my stay. Not only was the room impeccably clean, but the view was absolutely breathtaking. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend

I valued the serenity and the views the most! The views are stunning. This place is such a gem. The room was spacious and well fit out, the bed was super comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the walk down to the small village, the untouched by tourists tea plantations and the encounters with the locals. The drive to the accommodation may be viewed as 'bumpy' by some, but for me it was part of the adventure. I loved everything about this place!

Our stay at Mistara Ella in Ella, Sri Lanka was truly exceptional. It was a brand new hotel and the views are absolutely breathtaking and the pool is the perfect place to relax while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The property has a very peaceful and special atmosphere that makes it hard to leave. What made the stay even more memorable was the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. A special thank you to the owner, Mr. Tharaka, whose hospitality and friendliness made us feel right at home. If you are visiting Ella, I highly recommend staying at Mistara Ella. It was a wonderful experience and we would definitely love to come back.

Super great host Magnificent view Mosquito net above the bed To add : water filter in the shower

Beautiful location, clean and spacious bungalow and close walk to town but away from the noise. Staff was incredible-very kind, friendly and eager to assist with anything. Breakfast was wonderful with wide variety of foods and very delicious. I can highly recommend Green Cottage Ella and hope to return someday.

The nature around the place is so stunning. The rooms facing mountain views and massive trees, a massive cinnamon tree more than hundreds of years ago coming underneath the building structure—it's like I’m in a little tree hut, It was a very quiet and peaceful stay, , I could sleep enough to move into an energetic day. It’s close to the main attractions of Ella; the little Adana and nine arches are only a few minutes away. There are cool pubs and restaurants around, Tasty homemade breakfast mixed with Sri Lankan style English breakfast. Parking available.

Great location and great view with excellent service

The location of the hotel is very good. We were quickly in the city and at the train station. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. We liked the breakfast.

Stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. It’s a small property — only 11 rooms — and sits a little away from the busy Ella town, which honestly makes it a better choice if you want some peace after a day of hiking. The place is quite new, opened only in January 2026, but you wouldn’t feel anything lacking. The rooftop view is stunning, especially in the morning and evening. Breakfast on the second day was a highlight — proper Sri Lankan spread with string hoppers, egg hoppers and more. Delicious. The pool is a great way to unwind after the Ella hikes, and the staff were attentive throughout. Mr. Surang and Mr. Saman in particular stood out — always around, always helpful, never had to ask twice. Overall a good experience - especially staff.

Beatiful view, good room with big bed, nice balcony and everything was really comfortable. Very pleasant and helpful staff. We really enjoyed our stay here. Good breakfast and cool swimming pool place with a great view.

Location was brilliant, just off the main strip. Had lunch in restaurant, kottu was great. Room was spacious and very clean. Asked for later check-out and was given it with no problems. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Definitely recommend staying here when visiting Ella.

We wanted a nice place to stay for our family of four (2 teenagers) that was walking distance to the main town area but also quiet enough at night to rest. This accomodation delivered exactly what we needed. Located on the main street in the middle of everything but up a long slope driveway from the road it provided quiet in the rooms although there was plenty of action in the street. The adjoining rooms we requested were able to be provided and were clean, spacious, and provided great views over the surrounds. The bonus was that Alta Vista had recently completed installing a new spacious pool which was not currently advertised. This provided a great relaxing area and views of the town. The staff were very attentive to our needs and requests (including different breakfast eating times across the family). The breakfast was substanial and worth the cost, although there were plenty of alternative options available in the town if wanted.

The location was nice. The 3-arch bridge is right beside the hotel. The views from the balcony are beautiful. The staff are also really, really helpful. Helped us organize our itinerary at the place and arranged transportation for reasonable prices.

Owners were so lovely and accommodating. Beds were extremely comfortable. The location was perfect so you didn’t have to hear all the noise from the main road.

It's a beautiful place which was nicely kept with a great balcony. Room is very spacious and very close the main market.

Hotel was in a very good location, the staff were friendly and Samee was epically helpfu with everything l and made our stay very enjoyable.

The views were outstanding. The room was perfect. The staff were jolly and helpful. Always smiling.
