Inspira ella

Wat een prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel. Aanrader!

Deuren goed dichthouden voor insecten!

Stanza molto bella e spaziosa. Pulita e con enorme privacy. La terrazza vista monti è spettacolare e la colazione viene servita all’orario richiesto direttamente sul tavolo in balcone! Bellissimo. Staff gentile e molto disponibile. All’arrivo e alla partenza ci hanno organizzato un tuk tuk per portare su le valigie.

Unica nota, per arrivare all’hotel c’è una bella salita ripida da fare seguita da diverse scale ripide che portano alle camere.

Posizione e vista.

Nulla.

Das Zimmer war sauber und gemütlich mit wunderschöner Aussicht, der Gastgeber sehr zuvorkommend und äußerst hilfsbereit und freundlich! Eine Empfehlung!

Das Zimmer hatte lediglich einen Ventilator und keine richtige Klimaanlage, wobei dieser nach einiger Zeit auch kühlte.

Perfect location, lovely staff, generous breakfast! Nothing to fault. The accommodation is beautiful and has everything you might need for a couple nights stay!

Maybe a safe box if we were being really particular.

Rilassante e fuori dal caos cittadino. Personale gentile e attento, colazione super!!!!

Niente da dire, sappiate però che è in uno spazio un po lontano e se faticate a camminare bisogna servirsi di un mezzo

A very nice place to stay. The view is amazing and Shanuka was super nice. The room was clean and breakfast very tasty.

Shower could be improved

Camera con una vista meravigliosa sulle montagne. La struttura si trova in una posizione tranquilla e isolata, lontana dal traffico e dai rumori del centro. Lo staff è stato molto disponibile e attento alle nostre esigenze, venendoci incontro sia per l’orario del check-in sia per le allergie alimentari (la colazione era davvero buonissima!). La camera è molto spaziosa e dotata di tutto il necessario.

Per raggiungere la struttura la strada è dissestata e molto ripida, non è percorribile in auto ma solo in tuktuk. La struttura è stata molto gentile e si è occupata direttamente dell’organizzazione dello spostamento. Durante il nostro soggiorno ci sono state forti piogge e, durante la notte, abbiamo riscontrato un’infiltrazione d’acqua dal soffitto. Abbiamo inoltre avuto qualche problema con la doccia, dopo pochi minuti la pressione dell’acqua diminuiva notevolmente e l’acqua diventava fredda.

It was am amazing stay. The room was great, the views absolutely stunning, the breakfast the best we had in all of Sri Lanka and the staff was super helpful. Highly recommend.

La vue

La douche

Heel vriendelijk personeel, staan telkens klaar om je te helpen. Lekker ontbijt, mooie kamer en prachtig uitzicht.

Hygiëne was iets minder, de gordijnen waren vuil en beschimmeld. Maar zeker oké.

In the middle of nature, relaxing and calm place. 15 min by walk from city. Very delicious breakfast and kind stuff.

Очень красивый вид из номера

Нет минусов

Very attentive staff, beautiful room and view

The view, good breakfast

Barking dogs

Tutto! La posizione è un po fuori dal centro ma facilmente raggiungibile in 10 minuti di camminata. Proprio per questo è completamente immersa nel verde con una vista sulle montagne strepitosa. Camera grandissima e molto pulita, ci hanno servito la colazione direttamente nel balcone fuori. Meraviglioso

Nulla

The staff were so accomodating and had an amazing view

We did have to coordinate extra transport as the car couldn’t get up a steep hill to where the accommodation was but the staff were an amazing help with this

Mooie ruime kamer met prachtig uitzicht over de bergen. De host was heel erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam, makkelijk contact via Whatsapp om dingen te regelen. En er wonen hele lieve hondjes rondom het hotel. Ik zou een verblijf bij Inspira Ella zeker aanraden!

De locatie ligt echt op een steile helling dus bereid je voor als je lopend naar het hotel gaat.

Fantastic views over the valley. Warm and friendly staff, delivered a great breakfast on time each morning. The room was spotless. Easy walk into town, and being a little out of town made it very quiet.

The driveway to the property was challenging- our car was unable to drive to the top and even a tuk tuk needed a light load to reach the property

Lovely large rooms with stunning views. Great breakfast.

The only downside to this property is that it is just outside the centre of Ella and a steep walk up a hill, meaning it is no good for anyone with mobility issues.

The view from this place is INCREDIBLE! We were absolutely blown away. I would have loved to stay longer just to sit on the balcony and enjoy. The perfect place to stay in Ella, only a short walk to restaurants, nine arches bridge and little Adam’s peak. The room was huge and had everything we needed! Breakfast served on the balcony was amazing. The staff were so kind and welcoming. I hope to return one day!

Nothing!

Vue incroyable personnel très accueillant et de bon conseil

Lovely and quite great view comfortable bed

The walk up the steep hill after a long day

Gorgeous views !! Lovely large room which was very clean. Very helpful host . Great location , can walk to town, little Adam peak and nine arches very easily. Steep hill when walking back to town but manageable . Easy to get Tuk tuk if this is a problem.

Nothing really

Amazing hotel, big clean rooms, with a balcony with an amazing view. Lots of friendly dogs at the hotel too. Hotel is a short walk to the main road with loads of restaurants/cafes. Staff were really helpful sorting breakfast and laundry

Fantastyczna lokalizacja blisko Little Adam's Peak, z widokiem na Ella Rock. Widok jest prawdziwy ;-) Hotel na wysokim lokalnym poziomie, tylko 3 olbrzymie pokoje ze wszystkimi udogodnieniami (czajnik, klimatyzacja, gorąca woda). Śniadanie serwowane do pokoju na taras. Bardzo sympatyczna i kontaktowa obsługa.

Franchement tout Le personnel adorable La vue exceptionnelle La chambre très belle et propre Le petit déjeuner très bon Proche des activités et des visites

La côte est rude pour monter jusqu’à l’hôtel mais ça vaut le coup et en tuktuk c’est ok

Alles! Loopafstand van de restaurants. Wel bergop. Prachtig uitzicht en lekker ontbijt! Heel vriendelijk personeel die ons goede tips heeft gegeven.

Best…best…best place i’ve been in! The room, the view, the breakfast the balcony and the people are all amazing. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

La vue sur les montagnes, grand espace de vie, confortable Proche du centre ville d’Ella, juste à côté du Nine Arche Bridge

L’accès à l’hôtel est très mal indiqué, il faut monter tout en haut d’une rue très pentue Pas assez d’eau chaude dans la douche pour 2 personnes La kitchenette n’en est pas vraiment une

Помешкання дуже гарне і казкове, було доволі чисто

Не було перехідників на розетки і не позволили заплатити карткою, лише готівка, якої ц нас не було

Tágas és tiszta volt a szoba,a személyzet nagyon kedves,mindenben segítettek. A reggeli bőséges és nagyon finom volt,a várost 15 perces sétával meg lehetett közelíteni. Az ágy nagyon kényelmes. A környék csendes ,jót lehet pihenni.

Egy ruhás szekrény jó lenne ha lenne a szobában.

Fantastisk hotel med perfekt beliggenhed og verdens flotteste udsigt! Man får virkelig meget for pengene, da værelset nærmest er en lejlighed og man har egen altan hvorpå morgenmaden bliver serveret. Personalet er mega søde og hjælpsomme - man skulle bare skrive til ejeren, hvis man havde brug for noget og så sendte han en tuktuk eller andet. Bedste hotel jeg har boet på i Sri Lanka!

Exceptional view. Very cozy. Best value for money

The entry path is a bit steep but the view compensates for the same

Het uitzicht vanaf je terras is waanzinnig mooi. Het ontbijt wordt geserveerd op je eigen terras en is ook heel goed. De kamer is groot en het bed is comfortabel.

De badkamer is net ietsje minder goed. De waterdruk viel ook af en toe weg, al was dit van korte duur. Nog steeds een heerlijk verblijf voor korte termijn.

Shanuka is echt de allerbeste host die je je kan wensen, hij stond elk moment van de dag klaar om ons te helpen. De kamers zijn schoon en zeer ruim. Het uitzicht vanaf de kamers is echt prachtig.

De weg er naar toe is echt behoorlijk stijl dus niet weggelegd voor mensen die niet heel goed te been zijn. Wij konden met de tuktuk wel omhoog komen maar is wel pittig (maar gelukkig is Shanuka heel behulpzaam hierin anders!).

Widok z tarasu zapiera dech w piersiach. Lokalizacja dla nas idealna - 1.5km od centrum - ale trzeba przyznać, że podejście jest wymagające - ale nadal, widok wynagradza wszystko 😍

Fantastisch uitzicht, heerlijk ontbijt

Perfect view, very friendly staff, very clean and beautiful! Highly recommended!

Superbe endroit, grande et très belle chambre avec coin salon , moustiquaire , réfrigérateur, bouilloire, thé , café . Vue magnifique sur Ella’s rock 🪨. Petite terrasse privative idéale pour se relaxer , lire etc.. personnel très sympathique, Chanuka m’a donné pleins d’infos précieuses pour les balades et les visites Petit déjeuner copieux et de qualité

Attention rue très pentue et endroit un peu difficile à trouver car une énorme maison est en construction juste devant , bouchant la vue côté SDB . Il faut contourner cette construction , Inspira est juste derrière Paiement en cash seulement

The hosts were so friendly & helpful during our stay - helping us with train times and recommending a (very cheap) taxi driver for our onward journey. You're in a great location if you're in Ella for the hikes & the breakfast was definitely a highlight as the views from the balcony are fantastic.

Two out of the three nights we had quite a few red ants in the room - presumably as it had been raining - however the hosts did come round at 10pm with bug spray to help sort it out which was appreciated.

La habitación muy amplia. Buen desayuno, a elegir entre continental o de Sri Lanka. La terraza con vistas

La accesibilidad. Está en lo alto de una colina donde no puede ni subir un coche. Debería estar advertido porque no todo el mundo puede llegar ahí. Estás muy aislado, no hay recepción y una noche nos quedamos sin luz El último día nos dijeron que teníamos que hacer el pago en efectivo.

This place was spectacular. Beautiful space that was clean and comfy. Breathtaking view of Ella Rock and the mountains surrounding. Great location, a short walk to everything traveling for. Worth the hike up the hill for the view. And the staff were amazing, so helpful and go above and beyond to make your stay in Ella perfect.

What a lovely stay at this special property with magical views out to Ella Rock, and a stroll into town. We enjoyed the most delicious breakfasts on our balcony, and wonderful hospitality by the staff! A rustic, warm vibe which we loved. The manager happily organized a tuk tuk driver to take us around Ella, and also to take our bags onto Nuwara Eliya so we could enjoy the train trip without the hassle of luggage. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend!

A very steep driveway but totally manageable by tuk tuk. Don’t let that put you off!

The location is outstanding.The service we recieved was friendly and helpful. The hosts carried our bags up the steep hill for us which was most appreciated. This hotel provides excellent value for money. We even had breakfast with the monkeys.

It didnt bother us, but it can be a tad noisy (due to all the construction). The room is a bit tired inside and could do with refurbishment. However, that said, this hotels rate per day is low (and was significantly less than we paid anywhere else during our entire 14 day trip in sri lanka), so on balance if you are looking for value for money or are constrained by a budget this hotel is a fantastic choice.

Nice view

Pictures and quality of property didn’t match. Construction next door, room was very basic and bathroom poor. Access difficult but expected in these areas.

Very helpful staff. Unbelievable views from the balcony. A great location for breakfast which they bring to you. A lovely spacious room and big bed.

Very steep road to access the property. Good to be aware of!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The staff were so friendly and always quick to respond to any message. They kindly offered a free pickup from the train station, which made our arrival so easy. Each morning, breakfast was served on our private terrace, such a peaceful and special touch. We’re especially grateful to the owner for his kindness and fantastic recommendations. Truly exceptional hospitality we were very happy here!

The view. The on-site staff (one boy doing the whole work).

The building was unfinished - toillet was not fixed to the ground. The management of the place was very messy. They did not ask who we were upon arrival; got the details of our stay wrong at arrival and at departure - first they said we were staying only one night but our booking was for 2 nights, then they said that superior room means ground floor (no reference/explanation was put in the room description in booking); at checkout day they told us that they only accept cash and they got the checkout date incorrectly; communication via WhatsApp message - never called back nor showed up to speak to us. There was a massive water pipe leak - making a waterfall coming from the top floor, and they did not care to inform us about the status nor resolution (we informed them about the situation since we could not see any staff on-site). Overall - the view is nice, and bed is confortable. But the rest - overpriced for what it is.

Amazing view - but you need to book 2 or 3rd floor. Very spacious nice rooms. Amazing breakfast at the balcony

Cosmetic repair in the rooms is required

Nice view a size of the room super big.

Absolutely amazing views (request the top floor!) and it was incredible to see the wildlife. Gorgeous dogs, monkeys and chipmunks. We loved having breakfast on the balcony and looking over the view. The room was very spacious too.

Not about the property but quite a steep hill up to it so just have this in mind if you are someone who struggles with that. Our tuk tuk couldn’t make it up the hill so we walked it :)

Big, clean room with great views of Ella rock. Good breakfast sitting on the balcony. Bit of a walk up a steep hill, but worth it for the views. Staff were very friendly and helpful, overall a good stay in a fantastic town.

We stayed on the top floor the views of this room exceeded our expectations. The rooms are very large and in a quiet area just outside of the main strip of town which is a noisey spot. The staff are also very friendly and easy to contact if you had any issues or questions.

There is no reception in this building and it was hard to find. The accomodation is up a steep hill which is difficult for any car to access. Whilst this was no issue for us if you have any injuries or are unfit I would not recommend this location.

I enjoyed my 3 night stay at Inspira. The room was comfortable with lovely interior design and beautiful mountain views in a natural environment. Ella town is within walking distance. The staff are thoughtful and kind; Sri Lankan hospitality at its best. Shadeeth was exceptional! After a long train delay, he kindly arranged my transportation and dinner due to my late arrival and was helpful throughout my stay. I will remember Sri Lanka for the beautiful scenery but most of all the wonderful people.

Fantastic location with views of Ella Rock and Ella Gap

Hasn’t been well maintained. There were several issues with the plumbing in the bathroom and the tv wasn’t working.

The USP of this place is clearly the view. On good days, I have never seen a better view. And having breakfast on your terrace with this view is simply unforgettable. Also value for money is quite good for Sri Lanka (we paid around 55$ per night).

Unfortunately, there are a few drawbacks. - sometimes no water (neither hot nor cold) - when the weather isn't good, there is no view and it is cold/wet/windy up there

Beautiful views, nice breakfast, spacious and comfortable room. Host was helpful in assisting with transport and giving recommendations. Other than being at the top of a steep hill the location was really good and walkable to both the town and nine arches bridge / Little Adam’s peak.

WiFi was poor at times.

The view and breakfast were amazing

There was building work going on next door that made it noisy

Amazing view, perfect place for breakfast

Cash payment for accomodation

The view was true to the photos and spectacular. The nights the sky and stars with fire flies was amazing. Breakfast was excellent

Accessibility to the accomodation is basically very hard especially with luggage, even without. Our driver could NOT get his car up there. Therefore we required a Tuk Tuk when going anywhere. The stairs to our room were extremely steep as well

The view was amazing

The breakfast, a very steep pathway with no lights

Gorgeous spacious room with an amazing view. We stayed on the top floor and had the best view. The rooms was much bigger than expected and had great amenities such as boiler, fridge, small kitchen and mosquito net over the bed. No AC just a fan, but it worked out fine because of the cooler climate in the mountains (january). The toilet and shower was gorgeous with nice smelling soaps. Staff was quite careful but very nice and helpful even though they did not say much. Breakfast on the terrace was just an incredible way to start the day.

Wi-fi was quite slow in the evening but fine in the morning? Would have been nice to have extra towels for the bathroom, but we never asked for this, so maybe it was possible to get on request.

Large comfortable room with all you could need. Wonderful views across the valley, friendly staff. Just be aware it’s up a very steep hill that cars can struggle with

Bathroom in serious need of updating, views on website are from the more expensive top room so just be aware, slightly obscured on the lower rooms. Hotel next door being built for probably the next year which is very noisy from around 9-5pm

The view from the bedroom is absolutely stunning

The hotel is located on a steep slope, which can be challenging for smaller cars

The most amazing view, to wake up and have breakfast served on the balcony was utterly gorgeous. The bed was super comfy. Basic room but had everything you needed.

It was right at the top of a hill so when the weather is bad it’s hard for tuktuk to drop you but once you realise how close things are we walked into Ella one night and it only too about 10-15 minutes.

Amazing views of Ella and very friendly staff. Breakfast was tasty and the rooms were very comfortable

Everything was epic the breakfast in the morning with the view man that was epic

Well everything to be honest was perfect the people was friendly it’s only the location you need to hike for it, but if you love hiking it would be 10/10

Stunning views over Ella mountains, was beautiful even in rainy weather. Staff were great and flexible to our needs. Room was spacious and comfortable. This spot is located a little out from Ella town, so it is peaceful and you can enjoy the natural surrounds. Bear in mind the walk is a bit steep. However it is very conveniently located for the hikes in the area.

Shower was a bit tricky to figure out the hot water, but otherwise was a lovely stay.

Location was amazing and the host was really helpful and reachable. Walking distance from the stores and also from all the sites like Nine Arch Bridge and Little adams peak. We got really good tips from the host and suggestions and he even provided us with extra towels as we wanted to go swimming at a waterfall.

The photos are to an extent deceiving .the curtains and the mosquito net were very dirty and there could be some additional care.

We chose this place because of the view and it did not disappoint. It was magical waking up and enjoying breakfast with this view every morning. The landscape was the main reason we wanted to visit Ella so we were very happy with this stay. The location was great, about a 5-10 minute walk down to the Main Street. Just be mindful there is a step walk up to the room. It gets easier after a couple of trips. :D

The water pressure and heat of the shower wasn’t great. This was probably because we were on the top floor. And the vents above the windows allowed for a mozzies and flies to get in. These were minor details that didn’t really bother us though. Everything else was great.

Amazing location, great view from the balcony, friendly staff, and the breakfast was delicious. As a side note, there is a bit of a steep hill up to the place.

Very large and well designed rooms, large terrace with incredible views, breakfast was fantastic, staff were very attentive and incredibly friendly! The hotel is in walking distance of the main town but hotel manger is also happy to arrange a tuk tuk for you.

Incredible views over Ella and mountains… flexible breakfast time , owner is so relaxed and friendly and helpful.. delicious Brekky on our own private balcony! Close to everything in Ella but away from the hussle and hussle of the Ella Main Street . Simple but large and comfy room!

Just note walking up big hill to get to property and lots of stairs (but we love walking!) room doesn’t get cleaned during your stay but this didn’t bother us either.

The views were incredible! Such a treat having breakfast on the balcony. 5 mins drive into the town. Staff were super helpful and friendly
