Very steep road to get there, very isolated place and a long walk down the mountain to just get to a shop. My tuktuk was very low on fuel, I asked the host to take me to a fuel station and he said "no". They do not do evening food either. No a/c.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sun View Resort. The room was spacious and clean. What I loved the most was the terrace, where you can have a lovely breakfast or a cup of coffee surrounded by nature. We also loved the location itself - peaceful and very beautiful. It's a 20-minute walk from the center, but in my opinion this area is much nicer, as the center is very touristic.

Lovely place with stunning view and great breakfasts. Kind host caring about quests. Clean room with beautiful balcony were you can eat breakfast. Really good value for money. One rhjng you have to know - it is high up and the road is narrow and steep some taxis have problems to get there. When going to town we used steps to make the shortcut to the road.

Great place if you want to be in the forest and have a nice view of Ella. It’s a bit up on the hill but cars can go and there is a short way to get in case you want to walk. Close by there is a very nice cafe and restaurant.Recommended if you can walk and climb some steps. The owner was very helpful and he found a driver for us in a short time.

“Amazing views, very lovely staff”
Had an amazing stay. Walk uphill either the backpack was quite steep, but definitely worth it. Host Saman and his family are lovely. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included and delicious. Homecooked dinner by Samans wife was also perfect and quite cheap. Views are spectacular.

I have had an amazing stay here, the view right in front of the sunrise is so nice, it’s quiet, nested in the jungle, the room is big, comfortable and clean. (There’s hot water and WiFi) The breakfast is really good and you can also order dinner if you feel like a delicious homemade curry on your terrace :) You can also rent a scooter with the host, ask for laundry service, tuktuk, water bottles, etc And the hosts are the sweetest people ❤️ Very kind and here if you need them. (Be ready to go uphill on your tuktuk to join it, but it’s worth the view and calm). Thanks a lot ❤️

Good accomodation in Ella. The room is quite basic but ok for short stay. Beds are big and acceptably comfortable. Breakfast is good but a little small. Quite place.

“Quiet Escape with Lovely Views”
I had a lovely stay at Sun View Resort in Ella. The room was spacious, clean, and set high amongst the trees, which gave it a peaceful, tucked-away feel I really enjoyed. Summer was a friendly and helpful host, and I appreciated his welcoming attitude. Just a note for future travellers: while the location is beautifully serene, it costs around Rs. 1000 to 1200 for a tuk-tuk one way to the main road. The hot water was a bit inconsistent during my stay, but overall, I had a comfortable and restful time. Thank you for the hospitality. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled escape.

“Good accommodation for a short stay”
The room is - compared to other accommodations - bigger than we had expected. It's clean and rather comfortable. The bathroom is functional and the bed comfortable. The terrace offers a nice view to Little Adam's Peak and the surrounding area. The breakfast was Sri Lanka style and really tasty (we loved the coconut pancakes). You can get hot water for coffee or tea upon request.

“Not Worthy.”
No one had a detailed review about the City or this place. Ella by itself is very expensive for no reason compared to other parts of country. To me its a complete rip off on foreign folks. I would never recommend more than one night at this city as its not worth the expense including travel and food. This stay place just compounds to that. We were two adults and two teens. 1.0 Getting there with Tuk Tuk is a problem. Most of them just stop 250m before this place where you might have lug through narrow steps to reach. The tuk tuk rate to this place is min 1000LKR. 2.0 There is nothing near by to grab for eating around this place. You are pretty much stuck helpless 3,0 The food they provide is a complete rip off, Its not even 25% of money worthiness. Just a basic Rice and Curry costs 1500LKR per person. The breakfast you get is one small palm size Srilankan Rotti and a pancake with filling and tea . The portion size is not enough for a teen. 3.0 Even the first day water bottles provided are charged at 150LKR. 4.0 There were two cots with very very basic beds and sheet over it. There is nothing else there in the room. 5.0 WIFI never works there. First day there were bit of rain and the person told if there is cloud it does not work But next day with sun as well, it never works. 5.0 He charges 5K LKR for just taking a guide trip to Ella Rock for three hrs. 6.0 The view from outside the room has blocked valley view by the trees. You have to climb up the stairs for clear view. 7.0 If you end up using their clothes washer facility, then you will be taken for a ride. So be prepared for when you make a choice, 8.0 I had planned three night stay and after checking in immediately I decided to cancel the third night. 9.0 The owner / caretaker has two faces. I got to see both the faces before and after handing over the bill. Please check all the pricing before you take any service, at this place. This long comment is to know what to expect when anyone books.
