The staff excelled in service, with special mention to Namal. Guests appreciated the beautiful infinity pool and scenic views. The balcony breakfast was a highlight, with varied local options.

At first our hotel confirmation was not found. After a few minutes we got our rooms. The porter was very nice.

The location of hotel is good, the staff is friendly. The view from rooms and hotels is superb. A great infinity pool. The place is at a distance from ella. The hotel.issurrounded by forest from all sides and this makes the place interesting.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and tranquil stay then Moi Ella is the place! We had such a lovely & relaxing stay here. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, we were greeted with some tea and delicious coconut pancake on arrival which was just what we needed after a long drive. The breakfast and dinner was also amazing. The hotel offers 360 views of the beautiful hills and mountains of Ella, and you can even head up to the top floor to catch sunrise - we did this one morning and it was absolutely breathtaking!! If you’re looking to stay in/near Ella then you might want to find somewhere closer to the town as this hotel is about a 30 minute drive out of town so you’ll need transport. We didn’t mind though as we loved how peaceful and secluded the hotel was :)

This is not even close to a 4 star hotel. Dirty, desolate, outdated & in disrepair, I strongly recommend to avoid at all costs. The scenery is beautiful albeit a very remote location, so if you are looking for convenience to central attractions, this is not ideal. The accommodation looks nothing like what is advertised, there is no ambience whatsoever & is absolutely not worth the money charged. There was no choice but to eat in on our first & only night there but this lacked in quality & flavour. Overall, an incredibly disappointing experience.

Stunning hotel set high in the mountains offering amazing views. Staff were exceptionally polite and attentive. Room was reasonable size and offered balcony with incredible view over pool and mountains. Breakfast was very good and evening meal was good. The hotel is a little dated and disconnected but the vast pool, stunning views and great staff more than make up for its decor. They also helped book rail tickets which were proving a challenge so thank you.

This hotel is basic. No duvet in the room, apparently you have to request one. Nice welcome tea and some local snacks while waiting to check in but beware there are still mosquitoes around despite the cooler temperature. I got bitten twice whilst waiting to check in. I was put on the ground floor with a view of the car park which was disappointing given the incredible views on offer of Ella from the rooms higher up. They have a swimming pool from what I can tell is a bit cold! The omelette at breakfast was good and they found me some green tea when I asked for it. The buffet at dinner was ok and included slices of pizza. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all I imagine this hotel offers great views but it is way too far out from the centre of Ella so if you plan to go into town in the evening you’re looking at paying around 5,000 rupees for a taxi to take you, wait there for you and bring you back. So unless you’re there for a specific reason I’d stay closer to all the shops and bars in town.

set menu took 2+ to be served. Even on requesting to see the manager several times, no one came to speak to us. We made an international call to their landline & even then we didn't see the manager. Finally when we went down to reception & demanded to see the GM/Manager, a sheepish Manager says.. we know your food was delayed but we didn't come to meet you as your food was served by then. Ridiculous excuses after excuses! Moi Ella has ruined our experience of being in beautiful Ella where we chose to spend New Years Day It's a shame but we were booked by Ceylon Empire
