My stay at The View Ella was delightful. The rooms were spacious with a lovely balcony, though they needed a bit of care inside, lacking lamps and side tables. The service was very welcoming, but the place showed signs of being a bit tired. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat close to Ella town. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. The facilities were adequate, providing a relaxing atmosphere for guests.

The hotel had very small rooms with no space for suitcases or wardrobe. The nets over the beds seemed dusty. The distance to town was longer unless walking along the railway line. On the bright side, the terrace outside the room offered a pleasant spot.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the mountains, but the lack of a nice terrace for breakfast affected my morning rest. The service was excellent overall, with friendly and helpful staff, but there were some hiccups with room service. The location was stunning, perched above the valley with breathtaking views, though the hotel was under renovation during my visit. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with uninspiring food presentation but efforts from the staff to provide good service. The facilities were decent but could be improved to enhance the overall experience.

The View Ella was an absolute delight with its convenient location and lush surroundings, making it great for families. The rooms were cozy and clean, but some small adjustments could enhance comfort. The service was friendly but lacked some expected standards, like hot water on one occasion. The dining experience was decent but not exceptional. The pool area and breakfast view were definite highlights, offering a lovely start to the day. Overall, a good value for money stay with charming amenities.

Our room, with a complete glass front, had a bit of a weird smell and some unexpected guests like geckos and even a spider in the bathroom. Despite these quirks, the hotel is away from the crowds in Ella and offers friendly service. The stunning location perched above the valley provides breathtaking views of Ella Rock and the surroundings. However, be prepared for some tuktuk challenges on the slopes. The dining experience was below par, but the breakfast buffet was decent. The hotel facilities were adequate overall.

The hotel has a mixed reputation for its rooms, service, location, dining, and facilities. While the rooms are lovely and homey, they lack privacy and can be noisy. The service is helpful but inconsistent. The location offers easy access to town but may be impacted by noise and garbage. The dining experience is hit or miss, with some nice options but notable issues. The facilities are adequate but may not exceed expectations.
