The One Ella

Perfect location - close enough to town to access a range of shops and restaurants quickly, but away from the busy tourist area. At the start of both the Little Adams Peak and Nine Arch Bridge walk. Beautiful view. Very relaxing location - balcony with comfy lounge and hammock to rest and relax. Great service, friendly staff. Owner dropped us off to town for dinner o a rainy night, and gave us great recommendations on where to eat. Even gave us a travel ‘snack-pack’ for our drive to Yala when we left. Very clean and well appointed with everything you need. Loved our stay here, could have stayed longer!

Very comfortable and everything you need.staff very attentive. Very close to little Adam’s peak.

Just paid $50USD a night for a great place in Kandy so seemed very expensive in comparison. Perhaps that’s Ella price for you? Also construction going on across the road is noisy during the day. No pressure in the shower.

My goodness. This property is AMAZING! Dom your host has thought of everything. Yoga mat, hammock, sewing kit, bottle openers and cutlery etc, q-tips, nail clippers etc. Even two umbrellas waiting at the door for the wet season. Power points take all plug types as he fitted multi adaptors The location is amazing. Downtown Ella is full of tourists and best busy… think Bali vibes. Coming to this area is like going to Ubud. Further up and quiet. At the beginning of the walk to Little Adam’s peak as well as the walk to the nine arches bridge. Don’t need transport to see either. If you make it in time the pool club is also walking distance. Dom recommended cafe eden for dinner and it was amazing. The BEST Lamprais I had on the trip. His breakfast also amazing. I’d eaten a lot of Sri Lankan food so went a little more western and his poached eggs were perfect. Only 2 rooms so need to book far out. It’s expensive for Ella but to be able to walk to everything as well as a hammock to lay in for sunset with sensational views. Worth it!!

Being at the start of the wall up to the peak etc means dogs barking from 5am and tuk tuk’s going past as people head up for sunrise. That is the flip side of the location. So if you’re not planning on getting up early play white noice or wear earplugs.

Dom was an excellent host, are room was perfect. Our breakfast was delicious and so much variety. He even provided us with provisions for the drive to Galle. Lastly, the view from our room was spectacular.

Nothing, everything about our stay was beyond our expectation.
