Luxury Hotels in Badulla District from NZ$154

" Cleanliness, friendly Staff, breakfast buffet."

"Ella Retreat is a small, hillside resort of about 4 or 5 units ranging from small villas to glamping tents. The villa had a lovely outdoor decking area with hammock. The tent, an outdoor bathroom and fabulous views of the waterfall. The rooms are clean and tidy but do expect insects ( and monkeys) as the resort is in the jungle. The staff are v friendly and you can pre order food to eat at your villa. Not suitable if you have mobility issues as the resort is built into the steep hillside. You can walk down the slope to the nearest waterfall but Ella itself is not really walking distance. You must arrive by tuk tuk as cars cannot get up the narrow, steep track . Transfer to the train station was complimentary and much appreciated. Would stay again. "

"Lovely place to stay. Not too much to do!l in the area so 1-2 nights max. The room roll out bed was spectacular. Restaurant was just okay. "

"Nestled in Ella on WaterFalls Rd is the ‘Ella Alpine Resort’ offering a serene stay, great views and service. We booked a 4-night stay and our room was clean & comfortable. I requested a hair dryer and one was promptly delivered! Currently under new ownership and undertaking improvements, the owner kindly checked in via WhatsApp, before arrival, on arrival and during our stay. The new onsite manager, Priyanatha is also amazing! He was welcoming and made our stay very comfortable and memorable. Breakfast (if your room includes this) was always prepared fresh by the cook with delicious fresh fruit & juice each day to your liking or request. On one night we requested dinner (as we were returning late after a day trip) and this was made to our requests and was also yummy! The property is walking distance to the town Center or a tuk tuk will also get you there. Only issue is the road to access the property. I know this has nothing specifically to do with the Alpine Resort! However many hotels, resorts, home stays, rooms to rent are on this road and it would be awesome if they banded together to ensure access is improved. Currently some sections are narrow and difficult to drive making it difficult for cars and even the Tuktuks! Recommend this hotel for a wonderful getaway from the noise and bustle of the town. Night skies are just awesome!"

"Good property. Rooms were as presented online. The staff were very attentive and helpful. I would recommend staying there in Ella. "

"Spectacular views and lovely staff "

"Great hospitality from the staff, easy access to Main Street and bus station. Clean room and bathroom with nice breakfast on your balcony."

"Nice hotel staff. Friendly manager. Great view of the famous temple. Lots of beautiful wildlife sighting on the property if you’re into that kind of things. I am. "

"We had an amazing stay here! The hotel is very close to the Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arches walk. The staff were truly wonderful and went out of their to way to make my friend’s birthday very special, decorating our room and made her a fantastic cake with very little notice! Having breakfast on their terrace with the wonderful views was one of the highlights! Highly recommend staying here!"
