This hotel is very charming. The welcome at reception was lovely with a small welcome refreshment including coriander soup and a vegetable canape. The staff were very welcoming and eager to please. Our room was quirky and well-appointed with a spa bath and lovely view of the well-manicured lawn and mountains. There was the same outstanding view from the restaurant, the lawn and the outdoor spa bath.
The room needed some minor maintenance. The tap was not fixed firmly to the basin, the shower leaked and one of the bedside lamp globes flickered. The first morning we ordered breakfast from the menu and the baked goods that were served contained too many sweet pastries for my personal taste.

Beautiful hotel with lovely service! Outstanding views, nature and sunrise. Loved our room in upper floor with a view to the Ella peak etc. Details in room and hotel decor outstanding. Five stars. Beautiful garden! The athmosphere is calm and peaceful. Empoyees in restaurant, reception etc. very helpful and happy- good smalltalking and caretaking of the customers. Warm recommendations to EKHO Ella- hotel! Hope to see you again some day! Will miss you. Thank you!
There is some strong aromatic scents in the room and in the bathroom. It didn’ t bother us, but if you don’ t like stong scents, then you should consider…

Genuine travellers review . We would have liked to stay longer, but unfortunately, we were unable to cancel our next hotel reservation without incurring a large penalty. I want to express my deep gratitude for the generous upgrade you provided while maintaining the same rate we booked earlier. Our stay was an incredibly relaxing 24 hours amidst our journey around your beautiful country. Your hospitality made it even more memorable. Thank you again for making our experience so special. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the gentleman whom kindly help with upgrade as did hotel manager . If seeking a quiet and beautiful view to stay, I would highly recommend hotel with pictures attached from our wonderful upgrade. Hotel is away from main bars and restaurants. Ideally suited for peace and quiet and literally less than five minute walk to restaurants and bars. Thank you to the other staff room also made our stay memorable and relaxing. If time were not and issues, we would have returned to stay at Hotel before departing this Beautiful and welcoming country Namaste
Too much money, but I guess you pay for the view and staff hospitality warm welcome and location and ambience of hotel.

Absolutely everything was just perfect for our 3 nights, rooms clean and very well appointed, food excellent we even had an out door Bbq one night and the staff were 1st class especially Sanjeeva and his colleagues Priyantha, Krisham, Sujeewa and Thaksila nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel very welcome and looked after our every need The view and gardens with the hot tub were just a glorious space to unwind and relax There are only 12 rooms so it has that home from home feel and the view and location for exploring Ella could not have been better

The location is stunning. I can’t think of a better view from a hotel room that I have ever been fortunate to experience in all my years. This is combined with the ability to walk into the heart of Ella. Whilst the location is top level, this is matched in equal measure by the hotel room we had. Very stylish, but done with great taste and practicality. The above would be enough to recommend this hotel, but the true differentiator between this and other similarly ranked hotels is the level of service received. You are made to feel special by the staff and they are all highly professional, whilst being incredibly personable.

The service was exceptional, the good was great, the location too. But the view is outstanding, it's the best you'll find in Ella. We visited several waterfalls, nine arch bridge and little Adams peak, all within walking/tuk tuk distance of the hotel. The bathroom was also massive and the shower was great!
There was a bench near the view in the room to keep with the railway theme of the room, but it wasn't comfortable. Also the lighting wasn't that bright. But these are very minor things that didn't take away from the experience

A truly amazing experience. The best view we’ve ever had from a hotel of Ella Rock and the Ella Gap. The staff celebrated our honeymoon and made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked in, it was a very special stay. The room was lovely and well taken care of with every convenience catered for. The gardens on site are fantastic and the food was good quality. They laid on dinner in the garden for us which was very romantic. We’d particularly like to thank Sanjeev and xx who were both wonderful to us. Thank you for our cake, flowers and balloons - I’m sure we’ll be back!
Nothing it was very special.

Ekho Ella is an amazing hotel. On our arrival we were unexpectedly given an upgrade to the honeymoon suite which is complete with a jacuzzi and amazing views of the mountains and valley. The room is exceptionally clean and very spacious with all the amenities required. The room has a railway theme with pillows matching tickets and train benches. Breakfast is delicious with a great variety of choice. It is served on the terrace overlooking the valley. The hotel has lovely gardens too with exceptional views. Needless to say service is always with a smile here. The hotel is situated in the centre of Ella close to shops and restaurants. It is located close by car to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adams Peak and all the sightseeing in Ella. We would still have written this very positive review even if we did not get an upgrade as this is a hotel to visit again and again. Really hope to return here. Thank you
Nothing at all.

Ekho Ella has one of the most enviable positions with picture perfect views of the "Ella gap" and the surrounding area. Waking up to that view was simply wonderful! The rooms are not particularly modern, but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. And our "butler" Priyantha was incredibly efficient and helpful. The hotel restaurant was also surprisingly good with great food and warm, friendly service with special thanks to Janaka for looking after us so well! The hotel is also located just a short 4-5 min walk to the town centre making it rather convenient. However, it is sufficiently tucked away so you're never disturbed.
Our check-in was not great as there was no one at the front of house initially and the process was somewhat slow and laboured. In addition, the rooms could do with some modernisation. But these were the only minor niggles in an otherwise warm and wonderful stay.

Location is perfect for Anyone staying in ella. 3 min walk from the start of the strip but when you are in hotel you would think you are miles away from the Hussle and bustle of Ella. Views from our bedroom and garden terrace are stunning. Full view of Ella rock and the gap. Just stunning. Booked superior room and Bedroom was quite quirky with train theme and very good size and beds very comfortable and good AC. Restaurant was excellent, waiting staff couldn’t do enough for you and breakfast was plentiful, Fresh and lots of options. Had meal here on first night and was superb. In the evenings we took advantage of the outdoor hot tub and this was so lovely to do after a full day of activities and just chill and relax.
Few drinks /spillage marks on the walls in the bedroom walls and the bathroom grouting should be better .. this is a small hotel and there was lots of staff about so don’t understand why this couldn’t have been sorted. I would add that this is only minor points and we would stay here again but this was mentioned in previous reviews so management do need to take action as this could be one of the best hotels in Ellla.
