Breathtaking Views, Exceptional Hospitality and a Truly Memorable Family Stay!
Pros:

Our two-night stay at Zion Ella was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our entire Sri Lankan holiday!

If there is one reason I would recommend staying at Zion Ella, it would have to be the absolutely breathtaking views. The scenery is simply spectacular, and waking up to those beautiful surroundings was an experience in itself. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit, relax, and admire the natural beauty of Ella.

We had booked two family rooms, both equipped with bunk beds, which turned out to be fantastic for the children! They absolutely loved the setup and had a wonderful time moving between the rooms and enjoying their own little space. It made the stay particularly enjoyable for our families.

The hospitality was another major highlight. Every member of the team was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely interested in making sure we were comfortable. The level of care and attention we received throughout our stay was excellent, and we truly appreciated the effort everyone put in.

We also had a small birthday celebration during our stay, and the team kindly arranged a cake for us. They even joined in singing during breakfast that morning, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made the occasion extra special. These little moments are what make a holiday memorable, and we are genuinely grateful to the staff for making it happen.

Dinner was excellent, and the overall dining experience was very enjoyable.

The property also has a lovely swimming pool, which we were unfortunately unable to use because of the rainy weather during our visit. Nevertheless, the beautiful surroundings and views more than made up for One important point for future guests, particularly elderly travellers or anyone with mobility concerns:

The hotel is located along a steep access road, and depending on the type of vehicle you’re travelling in, it may not be possible to drive all the way up. A tuk-tuk may be necessary for getting to and from the property.

Amazing stay with stunning mountain views!
Pros:

An incredible location in the mountains, with balcony's looking out to Ella Rock. The three bed apartment is clean and spacious with a private balcony, perfect for a family or group of friends. The on site restaurant provides a delicious buffet breakfast and a range of traditional and western dishes for dinner. All of the staff are incredible! Only stayed one night but wish I could have stayed for more!

Cons:

If you eat at the restaurant be cautious if you have any allergies or intolerances. One of our party was dairy free but still served dairy in their meal due to the staffs misunderstanding.

American vibe unfortunately
Pros:

Nice hotel with beauitful views. Great staf, good breakfast and perfect pool.

Cons:

Tye hotel didn't have the Sri-Lanken easy going vibe, it felt very American and that's just what it not should be: Check-in through a website only!! Payment in advance! Adding service charges ( just show the price in total). And requests for a 3% to 10% tip on top of the ( on avarage high ) room price, because staff would depend on it. The hotel owner should pay its - very good - staff a decent living wage, they should not depend on tips.

Pros:

Beautiful views, great staff, clean and comfortable accommodation. A total gem only a short walk away from the main restaurant and bar area. Best of both worlds as its a serene and quiet for sleeping and relaxing by the pool. Highly recommend.

Cons:

The only downside to being up a hill away from it all is that our driver couldn't drop us at the door so we got a tuk tuk. Not a huge deal though. Only a few mins drive and low cost, funny experience with three suitcases!! 😄
