Spacious and Inviting

I stayed in the King Suite with Balcony, and I was thrilled with the size of the room. It offered great views and was well-furnished with comfortable lounge chairs. The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows allowed me to enjoy the stunning scenery from both inside and out.

This hotel offers an incredible view of Ella Rock and the surrounding hills, making it a beautiful place to unwind. The cozy rooms provide a comfortable retreat, while the breakfast served right on the balcony enhances the overall experience. However, the noise from the nearby road can be a drawback, and the Wi-Fi could use some improvement for those who need a reliable connection.

The hotel offers breathtaking views, especially from the balcony, which is definitely a highlight. While room size can be an issue for larger groups, the breakfast options were delightful and well-prepared. However, the property itself could use some updates, and the noise from nearby roads made it challenging to sleep at times.

I had a lovely two-night stay at this family-run complex with breathtaking views of Ella Rock. The rooms were clean and decorated in a nice Sri Lankan style, though there was some noise from the road. The breakfast served on the balcony was a highlight, especially during the mystic sunrise. The location was a convenient short walk to Ella center, which added to the overall enjoyable experience, although the road noise was a bit of a trade-off.

Country Homes is an absolute treasure! It’s tucked away just a short walk from the main street of Ella, providing a peaceful retreat with stunning views. The rooms are tastefully decorated and provide excellent amenities, though the hike to some attractions can be a bit much. Breakfast served directly to my room while soaking in the breathtaking view of Ella Rock was a highlight. Overall, it feels like great value for money, and I'd highly recommend it!

The hotel's views are absolutely stunning, with a fantastic balcony to enjoy the fresh air and scenery. The staff was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, going out of their way to make my stay more special, especially with the lovely birthday cake. However, while the location is a short walk to the center of Ella, the breakfast could use some improvement in variety. Overall, it's a lovely place for a relaxing getaway, but it's a bit pricier than I expected based on the dining experience.
