CHILL VILLE, VIEW POINT HOTEL, hotel in Ella

Located 800 metres from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge in Ella, CHILL VILLE, VIEW POINT HOTEL features free WiFi access and free private parking.

This was our second stay at the Chill Ville - less than a year after the first one, so it's safe to say that it is one of our favourite places in Sri Lanka. The rooms, the garden, the view and the food - everything is exceptional and arriving felt like coming home. Sharma and his team are kind and professional and took every care to make our stay comfortable and memorable. After mentioning that I'd developed a gluten intolerance since our last visit, they made sure that I got lots of delicious options. We'll definitely come back!

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery. Loved arriving here with the train, meeting other travellers and eating plenty of delicious food :) Will come back soon, next time for longer because there is so much more to see.

    Ella is a chilled laid back kind of place like Bali used to be, However the TukTuk Mafia are despicable rude, price gouging and trying to rip off every tourist. If you go to Ella take your own transport. You can rent your own TukTuks and Scooters. I encourage people to use Uber andPickme it works in Colombo. Honest TukTuk drivers are bullied in Ella As well as other tourist hubs in Sri Lanka.

    Good starting place for visiting the mountain area of the country. Downtown noisy and inundated with tourists. Those who want a quieter but equally stunning settling but somewhat more limited in amenities may do better staying in a smaller and nearby setting. If you are taking the amazing train ride, do so ‘backwards’ and start in Ella area.

    Nice Nature, but very touristic city center.

    Nice Nature, but very touristic city center. Ella Rock walk is great, but you can leave out the entrance fee to the top - the view during the walk is way better, and the top can be very crowded. Little Adams Peak has a nice view on top, but the whole way is full of people who want to sell you stuff & a lot of tuktuks cross you while you are walking. That’s not really enjoyable. The Zip Line there is also overrated and expensive, wound not recommend that. Walking at the train tracks was a great experience. And explore the restaurants in the city, don’t go in the overcrowded places. I was at the Lion restaurant, which has great service, an amazing view(!) and really good food.

    Unfortunately Ella which is a lovely spot with beautiful views and nature has been spoilt by too many people. Very overdeveloped and what used to be pleasant country walks are now crowded with people. On a positive side there are lots of facilities including a Zip Line.

    Nice place in the mountains, but town itself is a tourist trash. You can find nice restaurants, tourist shops ... along loud bars and drunk and trashed tourists. Dont stay on the main street, rather take a calm place with views on a hill. Nature around is amazing, take a climb to the Ella rock, visit one of many tea factories in the area.

    Amazing location and the view (tho a bit remote from Ella, around 20-25 min drive, the hotel offers tuktuk for a good price.). If you’re looking for a peaceful gem with the astonishing surroundings this is it. The room was super spacious, nice bathroom, comfortable beds, very good standard. Pool with even better views (you have to climb quite a lot of stairs to get to it, it’s above the hotel). Delicious food in the restaurant, very reasonable prices. The staff is super helpful, quick, and nice. It was a pleasure to stay.

    The location of this hotel was within a 5 minute walk to the main street in Ella. Views from the room were fantastic and the room itself was basic and clean. The people working at the hotel were very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay as good as possible. They are new owners of this hotel and they apologised in advance if it was not up to standard, as they would be making improvements as they go, With some basic improvements, I would certainly stay in this hotel again.

    The hotel is located very close to the Ella town centre, however, it is a steep drive/walk upto the hotel. The views from the hotel were the best in town and there is a great rooftop pool and bar. We had rooms in the new section of the hotel so they were large, modern, air-conditioned, clean and relatively soundproofed (as Ella town can get noisy at night). The views weren't as nice as the older rooms but they were quiet at night. Overall this hotel is a great place to stay.

    The hotel has great location in beautiful nature on the mountain with fantastic view. All people working there are very friendly and helpful. On the rooftop there are viewpoint where you can looke sunrise and sunset. Personal will organize tuk tuk for you when ever you need to go Ella or elsewhere. Or you can just take sun and swim in hotel pool area with fantastic view and climate. The climat is there better than in the south coast because of the fresh humid air.

    Little Folly is in a perfect location to Ella, the hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, the hotel has a really lovely little rooftop area to chill out in the evening and it's incredibly peaceful. The room was clean with a terrace area to sit out on. Unfortunately during our stay it was heavily raining so didn't get to enjoy this but I can imagine it would be relaxing in the dry weather. The cake was amazing too!

Staff was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. Thank you so much. We got to hotel super early and I didn’t wanna wait. So this was a big plus. The service was exceptional as well.

    Great stay at this homestay. The view from the room and the balcony where breakfast is served is absolutely beautiful. You can walk into town from the location too. The staff are lovely and the breakfast is brilliant, different each day. There is a driving service from the homestay where you can use the car, we got to see all of Ella in comfort, but it is a luxury option so good idea to agree prices first.

    Ella mansion was a wonderful surprise. The rooms are large, the view is great, the staff is exceptionally accommodating, and it is fantastic value for money. It is so nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of the overly touristy town of Ella, but still close enough to easily travel into town. Meals provided by the hotel were outstanding.
