6/10 Good

We recently stayed and EKHO Ella for 2 nights. The main positive is the location, which is incredible - the views from the terrace are beautiful and it is perfectly located if you want to be in the centre of Ella, a one minute walk down to the main area. The staff are also so lovely, couldn't have been more helpful and generous. The room and railway theme is cute and it was perfectly clean and breakfast was also a good range. However, there were a couple of irritations. Firstly, the swing style bathroom doors are awkward to use and slam closed very loudly if you don't catch them quickly every time, which is not ideal at night. The light switches in the room were bewildering - not a single one was an obvious location to the light it controls. Finally, we were in a room that was right by the terrace where there is music / performance every night. As the windows are thin, this was so loud it was like it was in the room itself. It stops at 10pm so not a huge issue, but the volume made it overwhelming if you are looking for peace. Ella is obviously an area for nightlife, so it won't affect those who are visiting with that in mind, however if you want an early night, I wouldn't choose there.

The Place to stay in Elle

If you want something special at Elle , close by the town , but far away to enjoy silence and nature , then is Ekco Elle the place to go . It is not cheap but after your visit you now it is all worth .

Fabulous retreat.

Fantastic hotel in a wonderful setting which is a short walk into Ella but well away from the busy town. Also a short walk from the station if you arrive by train. Staff are very courteous and always helpful. Thoroughly recommended.

The hospitality at this hotel was exceptional! Upon checkin, the staff prepared a lovely surprise for us for our honeymoon. The grounds and views at this property are truly amazing. Pirhtnana was always there to assist us and all the staff was so welcoming and wonderful. Great location, just a short 3 minute walk into town. Would definitely stay again!

Nilakshi in the front office and Sanjeewa in the restaurant are amazing. Also I should mention Udesh, Manager. Foods were fantastic. Thank you all and others making our stay at Echo unforgettable. We have stayed some upscale hotels in the Ella area, but Echo is the best. We highly recommend this place.

A little piece of paradise

This hotel was a little slice of paradise! I’m not one for spending too much time on the hotel grounds but this hotel was an experience in itself. One of the best views of Ella - right between Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak. One of the best sunrise views. The garden is beautiful as well. They offer yoga daily in the garden which was truly a highlight of our time in Ella. Staff was very friendly and accommodating helping us book drivers and activities. It was truly a treat staying here!

Verified review

8/10 Very good

This property is situated on a beautiful hill where you can see sunrise just like from Little Adam’s Peak. Rooms are old fashioned train station themed, which adds nice touch. Free yoga session is nice addition. Reception staff is nice but the restaurant staff in the morning breakfast are not very attentive. Overall our stay was good, but with the price point of view Ella now has another amazing new resort nearby. But if you want to stay in close proximity to Ella town this hotel is best.

Amazing view and staff!

Top-notch service! Its the best view of all hotels in Ella! The service is just amazing, Priyantha Takshila and the crew helped us with everything! So warm and friendly! We had some questions and then we got upgradedto the suite ith private jacuzzi and it made our trip even more amazing. They arrenged spa visit, helped with smart planning and schedule and also gave that "extra care and attention" that is hard to find now a days!

Ella is a dream and this property was so nice! The whole ambiance is beautiful and calming. They even have a garden on the premises. Our room has a magnificent view great for watching the sunrise. I opted to watch from outside near the garden. It was so magical to watch the Sun rise while listening to the birds serenade in the background and faint Buddhist chants growing gradually louder as the Sun came up! I highly recommend this property for your stay in Ella and wish we could have stayed longer. I almost did not even come to Ella but so glad I took the 7 hour train right to get here from Kandy. Very amazing place!

We were so warmly welcomed from the second we arrived and were treated with such kindness until the moment we left. The room was absolutely perfect, spacious and immaculate. We had dinner, breakfast and lunch here and all was excellent. The service in the restaurant is outstanding. The view is breathtaking. You wake up and see the sunrise over the mountains from your window. We have traveled all over the world and truly have not received better value for $200 usd anywhere.

8/10 Very good

I really liked how peaceful this place was with a great view. The English breakfast was not great, but the Sri Lankan breakfast was very good. And the Jacuzzi is nice to have, but it’s not hot. The room was great that I had with a view of Ella rock. But the bathroom doors were kinda like closet doors and made a big noise when you went in and out the people were very nice and helpful and kind. The location was a bonus cause you could just walk down the hill and you’d be right in the middle of restaurants and shops. Not far from the train station so you could easily go to see the nine arches Bridge, which is very cool.
