We enjoyed our stay at The Cubes, it was a few minutes out of Ella which meant it was a peaceful escape from the bustling town and an easy tuk tuk ride into town. The scenery and views around the hotel were lovely. Service was helpful and friendly and we enjoyed the breakfast. Our room was large and the bed very comfortable with a lovely balcony.

Fantastic quiet hotel with great service and food

The Cubes is a modern clean hotel with comfortable beds and amazing views. The service provided by the team is fantastic and they will do and arrange anything to make your stay enjoyable. The hotel is out of town and is very quiet. Nice if you want to get away from the buzz of Ella. It’s a short Tuk Tuk ride away, which again the team will organise (500lkr each way). We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast there as well and would thoroughly recommend the hotel.

Property is located pretty close to Nine Arch bridge and Ella Rock. They had a professional staff who greeted us with a nice Sri Lankan smile. Everything is clean and well maintained according to American standards. My wife and I really enjoyed the stay and we will be definitely visiting back with our other American friends in the upcoming summer breaks!

Wonderful establishment!! Very clean, comfortable size balcony. In room, affordable dining. Great 2nd Floor restaurant area. The view faces East, and you can catch a great sunrise coming over the top of the nearby adjacent mountains. Staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. You'll really like it!!!! NOTE: Depending on which direction you're coming from, there's a bridge being replaced, so you might have to go around thru the small tunnel

Wir hatten zuerst beim Empfang einen schlechten Eindruck da wir ziemlich in unser Zimmer gehetzt wurden. Die mitarbeiter wurden aber die nächsten Tage sehr herzlich und haben uns sehr gut umsorgt. Das Frühstück mit dem Ausblick wurde hervorragend präsentiert und man hat sich alle Mühe gegeben das wir uns wohl fühlen. Die Zimmer sind „okay“ der Zustand leider etwas heruntergekommen. Für europäische Standards Gewöhnungs bedürftig. Man muss in Sri Lanka Abstriche machen aber wird dafür von lieben Menschen und einem Lächeln belohnt und empfangen.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit stylisch eingerichteten Zimmern und tollem Blick ins Grüne von unserer Terrasse. Das beste sri-lankische Essen auf unserer Reise und sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Man ist eher im Tal gelegen, sodass man schnell in Ella Town ist (von unserem anderen Hotel oben am Berg hat es 20 min mit dem TukTuk gedauert), aber dennoch sehr ruhig und im Grünen. Sehr empfehlenswert .

An absolutely wonderful stay.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Cubes Ella. The rooms are lovely, with Kool artwork and cosy lighting for the evening. The view from my balcony was also amazing. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly, anything you needed help with they were there straight away. The breakfast is delicious, definitely I recommend to try the Sri Lankan and Continental Western options. The hotel is about 8mins from Ella town by Tuk Tuk, the hotel arranged these for you very easily and they appear in moments. Area around the hotel is peaceful and perfect. If I visit Ella again I’ll definitely be staying here.
