Pros:

Spectacular view from higher floor rooms to the Ella Gap. Very kind and helpful staff. Peaceful atmosphere and the surroundings. Just a few steps from Ella's centre. Delicious breakfast served with the view. I'd love to spend more lazy mornings there.

Heerlijk verblijf met een lekker ontbijt
Pros:

De eigenaar en het personeel maken er een 5 sterrenbeleving van. Wij hebben 9 hotels gehad op Sri Lanka, maar deze service was uitzonderlijk! De kamers zijn erg schoon!

Clean and hospitable
Pros:

The location was excellent. Walking distance to the town centre and night life but far enough to be quiet. Staff were very hospitable and keep the premises clean.

Cons:

We felt it was way overpriced for what you get. But that might reflect that Ella is generally more expensive than other towns in Sri Lanka.

Quite place to stay just off the main strip
Pros:

Hotel is in a good location, a short walk (or tuk tuk ride) from the main strip in Ella, it’s therefore close enough to the action but also quiet.
The room was modern and clean. We had a front facing room with a balcony which had lovely views of the mountains.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had to leave early one morning for one of our activities and they made us the tastiest scrambled egg sandwiches we had the entire trip plus fruit which we particularly appreciated given we had a toddler to feed.

Cons:

Not dislikes as such but we hadn’t realised this was a B&B and so there wasn’t really an option to eat dinner here (although the owner did kindly invite us to dinner but it was too early for us and didn’t fit our plans) this was only a mild inconvenience because we have two small children so eating onsite would have been helpful after a day out.

I received a strange message from the owner a couple of days before arrival about issues with drivers/driver accommodation which made me feel alittle uncomfortable and so would encourage Hotel Ravanna to keep any disputes it’s having locally private.

Great views and lovely staff
Pros:

This property is really well located for staying in Ella, walkable into town and not far from the sights. The staff and owner are lovely and really helpful. I really enjoyed the pancakes and tea on arrival and the breakfasts. The view from our room of Ella gap was amazing. The accommodation is done up to a very standard and the staff go out of their way to help you with things like fresh tea when you would like it.

I understand people’s comments about this property that it doesn’t have a standard bar or chill area like hotels do but despite this, it’s a lovely place to be. It only has 6 rooms so it’s more like a boutique guest house. What you are paying for is the excellent service and view and the location

Pros:

The ladies who run the hotel are so friendly and hospitable, it's a real hime away from home. Breakfast is exceptional and our hosts insisted on providing us lunch one day as well, which was delicious and very generous. The hotel is an easy walk from the centre of Ella and is quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful garden and gorgeous views. It was a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka
