Ella Mountain Palace

The property was clean, with only a few minor tweaks that didn’t affect the stay. It sits on the hills above Ella, a one‑hour walk from the town center (we took a lovely stroll along the road). Walking 45–50 minutes gets you to Little Adams Peak and the railways; otherwise ask Prasad for a tuk‑tuk and he’ll sort everything out—he’s fantastic. He prepared a fabulous traditional dinner and a coconut‑infused breakfast we bought the day before, which was delicious! He also made sure we caught the bus to our next destination, which was a pleasant surprise. The garden view left me speechless, and the constant sounds of nature wrapped around me.

“Perfecta estada a les muntanyes d'Ella”

The staff were very friendly. The rooms were super comfortable. Breakfast and the views were spectacular. I would recommend it to everyone.

The view and the staff were lovely. The road to the place is a bit rough, but walking up and down actually makes ending or starting your day with such a view a good idea.

“Very good stay”

The host and the view were great. The location is a little far from town but still manageable.

“Красивые виды, но далеко от города, много живности!”

The scenery was beautiful. I started with the transfer to the hotel, which involved a mountain road that veered off the main track, and the owner met me on a tuk‑tuk. When I checked in, the room was clean and the owner was friendly—maybe even overly so. He cooked dinner for us and we chatted, but some odd suggestions confused me. The room was clean only on the first day; afterwards, due to the abundance of wildlife, it turned dirty. Bugs, spiders, and a leech that bit my hand made me uneasy. I brought a fumigator and repellent, but they didn’t help. Also, not all taxi drivers will take you on that road in the evening; be prepared, and it’s scary to walk in complete darkness. I’m not sure if Ella has rooms without insects, but what I experienced here was frankly unpleasant. When I was leaving, the transfer driver arrived again and I asked the owner to drop me off from the mountain road; he agreed. He then handed me to a friend for a tuk‑tuk and took 200 rupees. It’s a small amount, but it left a bad impression.
