Ella Alpine Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ella Alpine Resort. Our host went out of his way to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. Breakfast varied everyday and this place had the best WiFi so far in Sri Lanka. Beautiful views and an easy walk to Ella via the train tracks. Great spot.

Very good location, with amazing views, away from the noise of Ella town. Very friendly staff and excellent communication and advice from the team prior to arrival.

Far away from the main road (20 mins walk). Hotel.com quoted price is much higher than the price shown in the hotel when I arrive.

The property is in good location if you are into hiking and you are nature lover. Staff are very pleasant...food was great .services good.

Really nice property just off the beaten track in Ella. The breakfast was superb and the owner was very friendly and offered great advice for things to do in the area. Only downside for us was no air con but apart from that really nice place

The mountain view is fantastic waking up with very big comfortable bed to sleep in. The owner started with very warm welcome introduction to hotel and the area. He himself also took me and other guests to hike to very famous nice arch bridge. Breakfast at hotel is amazing as everyone mentioned in review, but what I really got me to love this stay was the owner served dinner one day, very delicious homemade jackfruit curry, which I told him earlier that I love jackfruit which I cannot eat in my home country. He made jackfruit curry!!!!! I am solo female traveller, and I felt so safe and my heart so full after meeting the owner and his staffs. Thanks again for the best hospitality I can ever ask for. I will never forget this experience;)

If youre looking for a quiet place away from the bustling Ella strip, this place is it. It has an amazing view where you can basically skip Ella Rock. The hosts are really warm and friendly and will make sure you have the best possible experience. It is a bit of a trek from the main strip (uphill) so plan with that in mind if you are going to go in town frequently.

When we first arrived, we were a bit dismayed. The place looks like a complete building site from the outside, because it is! However, once you go down the steps and into the main part of the grounds it’s quite quaint with a great view. Try not to be put off by first sight! The actual room was very quiet, peaceful and clean. It had a mosquito net and a very strong fan. It also had a really nice Veranda where you can sit and watch the thunderstorms over the mountains. There is a weird bathroom set up with a glass screen between the bed and the bathroom, I’m not quite sure who decided on that architectural choice. The Sri Lankan breakfast we had was delicious. One minor issue is that the staff at the hotel, as nice as they were, kept trying to sell us taxi rides to places, even though we just want to relax and chill and not go anywhere, that was a bit offputting Important information: there is a very quick shortcut into town. When you arrive in a taxi you follow a very winding road and it will take a long time to get to the hotel. However, if you’re walking on foot just follow the road until you reach the railway tracks, then walk along the railway tracks for about two minutes. After the cutting, you’ll see a rough track leading down to the right if you walk down this track you come out on the main road in Ella it really does shave off about a 25 minute hot sweaty walk.

Amazing view in the middle of the wilderness but 5 minutes into town by tuk tuk . Super nice host with a good breakfast

Enjoyed our stay at Ella alpine resort. The beds were comfy, generally the room was good - nowhere to put the kettle apart from next to the bed. One of the plugs wasn’t working either. Bathroom could do with some attention but overall fairly clean. View is incredible. Loads of steps - as with anywhere in Ella. Breakfast both western and Sri Lankan was tasty and generous. Staff were able to arrange tuk tuks and cars although didn’t really understand when we had booked our own transport for a lot cheaper.
