8/10 Very good

Nice room, clean and very accessible to the Main Street. Good view of the waterfall and mountain from our deck but the decks were not private at all!! Easy place to stay!

8/10 Very good

Great for a short stay in Ella - located very centrally although up a hill so difficult for a car to get up - they have an on-site tuk tuk to help with luggage up the hill. Lovely, modern bathroom and comfortable bed. Staff very accommodating.

A truly amazing accommodation, stay was super friendly and attentive and the room was as described
Kenny, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing stay

The location of the hotel is up a steep hill with no lights when the sunsets, so therefore as a single female traveller it makes it difficult to get down to the main road of the town. The food was mediocre and disappointing when it came to a curry which was potato in water and not a curry sauce. The bathroom is dated and the toilet seats do not fit correctly. The room was not clean and the bedding and pillows need to be washed as they were very sweaty and smelly and made it uncomfortable to sleep. Additionally the kitchen staff make a lot of noise at night and in the early morning

The staff at OnRock were excellent. But, there wasa steep climɓ getting to the hotel.
Vasanthy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an excellent stay in that property (3nights March 2025) It located on the hill so the views from the balcony are spectacular. Still just a few steps from the center of town. Very good breakfast with lots of options. Exceptional stuff, especially the manager who was very informative, helpful and kind. The only down was the bathroom which I'd say needed some renovations and the noise coming from the construction going on at the front of the hotel but I understand at some point they have to do it. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
Monika, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ella is all hills - so it’s a 6 minute steep walk to Onrock or 1 minute drive but that’s better than almost every other place. It’s upscale for Ella though short of 4 star luxury. Breakfast excellent. It’s fun and convenient and the 2 of us from USA strongly recommend.

daljeero, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Old and tired hotel, minimal breakfast options and hot food was all barely lukewarm. We had no hot water, shower wasn’t even lukewarm it was cold which was an issue that we reported immediately to staff who checked and said that was as good as it gets! Staff were all very pleasant, polite and friendly.

Staff were wonderful and helpful, room 301 had an amazing view of the mountain and waterfall, comfortable bed - hotel is on a steep walkable hill.
yasmyn, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in my life.. They are charging 200$ per night and There is no hot water in the room. Rooms were totally different than advertised.. Towels are very dirty, breakfast is so bad. It was horrible stay , waste of money!!

8/10 Very good

The view from our room was absolutely amazing and the bedroom was very comfortable. The bathroom on the other hand not the best, quite dark and the shower had quite a bit of black mould stains and needed a deep clean. Steep walk to get down to Ella and back to the hotel again. Would most likely return for the views from the room
Nick, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Onrock Hotel was very pleasant. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Nice little hotel with amazing views. Would recommend staying here for the best views of the mountains and the best service from hotel staff.

The hotel is at the top of a very steep hill and has been recently refurbished, it’s comfortable and has a/c. Our room had a balcony with terrific views
simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible view (sunrise over Little Adams Peak) and friendly smiley and helpful staff. Great family room for 4 of us with balcony. Breakfast options a little limited but no major dramas and Ella town is 3 min walk (downhill at least a little slower back up) and a real backpacker fun town with lots of great food options - no problem sorting dinner.
