The best in town, We stayed here for 4 nights and We couldn't have asked for more. The location was perfect and quiet. The rooms and the property is well maintained & The view from the room is the best you can get in ella, Food is great and they also have a cafe in town called Chill cafe. The staffs were really helpful and friendly, Roshan and Nuwan are gems, Thank you for making our stay so memorable. I got so attached to the friendly neighborhood dog Sisi, She made our stay even more memorable. WE WILL BE BACK FOR SURE.

This property has a very unique location in the mountains, away from the turysty crowds with amazing views surrounding you. The place is extremely clean and well equipped with a desk, open shelving, kettle, tea, coffee, etc. The breakfast was delicious, served on time with a smile and a lot of attention. The property is away from town but provides complementary tuk tuk service to town which we found extremely helpful.

The wife’s favourite stay in Sri Lanka, heavenly views high up and at one with nature. Nice vibe around the area at night. Staff were great and the breakfast location was stunning and you can see the train high in the hillside opposite.

I need more stars! 5 is not enough in any of these categories! Seriously, this is an absolute gem of a place to stay. It's not just a room, this is an experience and worth every penny and more. First of all, this room is way up on the mountain with the front balcony overlooking the 9 arch bridge. You can watch the trains come and go right there in your own space! There is a footpath that goes down to the bridge and takes you all around it so you can see it from every angle and it's extremely beautiful! The bed is VERY comfortable with actual bedding unlike much of Sri Lanka where you get what feels like a tablecloth to cover yourself. I slept very well. Every detail is covered: cards and books, umbrellas, kettle. Mini fridge, every type of drinkware, sugar, coffees/teas, hairdryer, washclothes and even the adapter for plugs. There are tons of outlets to plug into, one on each side of the bed as well as reading lamps. Huge windows to let tons of light flanked by curtains to darken the room as well. The neighbor property is Upali's brother's property which now also houses a bar/restaurant overlooking the tracks! Delicious breakfast is served on the front patio and is more than I eat in a day! Fresh fruits, little rolled pancakes with coconut and sugar, hoppers, hoppers with eggs, yogurt and coffee. The best part of the stay? Upali. He is an incredible host. Need a ride back down the hill? He's there. Need a ride back? Ok! Want to go climb Little Adam's Peak? Let's go! Anything you need he is ready and willing to help! I've never experienced anything like it. He even checked the oil, lights, brakes and everything in my tuk tuk and gave it a little wash. Made sure I was safe traveling alone as a woman. Just so amazing! Anyway, I urge you to book now, don't hesitate because it will be gone if you wait! Wish I could have stayed forever! Thank you Upali for a wonderful stay! I can't wait to return!

Nestled in the mountains- 98 acres is the perfect getaway to detach from the business of everyday life. The staff were warm and welcoming. Rooms spacious and clean. The spa is an absolute must.

    We loved the Mountain View’s.

    We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

    Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    Beautiful place with absolutely stunning views at the waterfalls! Owner is helpful and is making sure that his guests feel like at home. Breakfast was tasty, coffee, water and tea can be delivered to the room. Hotel is a good place for sunrise hike to Ella Rock (it took us 1.5h to get to the top from the hotel on foot). Ask for cooking classes - owner's mom is a very talented chef and can teach you how to cook Sri Lankan dishes. Amazing experience and great people!

    Staying at Crystal Springs Luxury Hotel, Ella has been an unforgettable experience. The view from the room was absolutely magical waking up to misty mountains and peaceful greenery felt like a dream. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a warm smile. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and truly lived up to the "luxury" in the name. Thank you for making our stay so special we’ll definitely be coming back!

    The view is amazing. The hotel is brand new and thr hosts are amazing. It is a bir far from the main road, but it means you have silence and can relax, plus the view is great being on top of the hills. The free shuttle to the town and from the town everytime you need it is amazing. The host even prepared take-away breakfast for us because we left very early in the morning. Would recommend 100% to stay here if you are coming to Ella.

The room is comfortable and clean and you have airconditioning, something rare in Ella. And the host Shan is amazing! He gave us great tips and arranged everything for us. Always responsive, the tuk tuk available, he made our stay! Thank you so much Shan!
