Ella

"We stayed 4 nights at Walaa Kulu, and it was nothing short of exceptional.

Every room offers a breathtaking outlook — the kind that photos simply cannot capture. The heated pool overlooking the lush green hills was an absolute highlight, allowing us to enjoy a relaxing evening swim even when the air cooled down. What really made our stay unforgettable was...

Top Galkanda Hotel Reviews

Hide Ella Hotel & Resort

8/10 Good

"Hotel was incredible, with a great view of Ella and surrounding. Staff were very helpful, apart from our electrics in our room kept tripping, they said they would have a look, but the problem persisted. Restaurant was amazing. Hot tub didn’t work on balcony, told reception, nothing was done."

Elevate Ella Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms, comfy bed, plenty of filtered water in the room, great heated saltwater pool - perfect during a rainy afternoon as it has a roof over half of it and you can swim up to the bar! Staff very polite, good breakfast selection - I actually preferred it when it was cooked to order rather than the buffet (we experienced both during our stay and it changed depending on how busy the hotel was). We had a couple of lovely lunches there too - great fish and chips! It's a short (very steep) 350m walk from the town centre but if your room is one of the highest/furthest rooms from reception, you'll be doing another 140+ steps on top to get there! Not for the faint hearted! Apart from that, only gripe would be to have an extractor fan in the shower room over the mesh window - more effective and would remove being able to hear guests next door in their bathroom."

Ella Flower Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property was so beautiful and the views from the room were outstanding! The hotel is conveniently located super close to the both the 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s Peak. Everything was so clean and well put together. The breakfast so delicious as well! The service provided by Hansani and the rest of the team during breakfast was efficient, fast and friendly. A special shout out goes to Dammika who helped us bring our bags up to our room and was already ready to help us check out! His friendly smile and welcoming nature made us feel so happy and welcomed it made the experience at the hotel so much more worthwhile! Will definitely come back here next time!"

The Cubes Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Well . We have travelled for 12 days now The cubes was our best hotel so far on our visit. I would have given 6 stars if available. This was made by everyone on the team. Rishard made us most welcome and after a few hours we booked a another night making 3 nights in all Our room was spacious and very clean We arrived in the late afternoon decided to eat in . Primal was the chef and produced marvellous curries . He is very jolly and welcoming Next morning after a great breakfast we headed out to the tea factory I thoroughly recommend the tea tour We had a great time in Ella and made by our stay at the cubes It’s a 10 out of 10 from us Terry and Sheila"

Misty Hills Ella Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Misty hills. The view was incredible, the staff so helpful and delicious breakfasts with an egg and omelette bar included. The room was cleaned each day with a balcony view out into the hills that stunned us every time we looked out. It was a good location - 15 minute walk into the centre, however they also organised hiring a scooter for us for our 2 days which we would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the wider bits Ella has to offer. The property is slightly rough and ready compared to the photos but this did NOT take away anything from the experience of our stay. The view made it one of the best spots we stayed in. We highly recommend Misty Hills to anyone wanting the best view Ella has to offer."

Serenus Boutique Villa

8/10 Good

"Decent property or a short stay. The dining experience was good. Close to Nuwara Eliya town centre but not walkable. Considering the fact the area is a hill station with cold/colder weather conditions, the room(s) need a better heating setup that can make the visitors feel comfortable inside the room."
