The views
Pretty outdated and under progress structure. The restaurant also didn’t have many options. For the amount I paid, I thought it to be a little overpriced
The bathroom was large and clean. The bed was comfortable. The view was so good that I couldn't resist.
The access road is a bit rough. Could have improved.
Perfect accommodation for exploring the area. The staff was very helpful with everything.
This isn't really a criticism, but the bathroom could be a little better.
Perfect try this for sure , best personnel, best room, best view
Quarto nao estava limpo, cheirava mal, a casa de banho e mofo. Nao tinha AC, as toalhas da casa de banho estavam russas (num estado impróprio). O pequeno almoço fraco, deixou a desejar.
Péssimo
Tudo muito mau

Accoglienza fantastica da parte del personale che ha accontentato ogni nostra richiesta
Le camere erano ampie e ben arredate. Vista ok.
Tutto il resto è scomodo e la struttura è ancora in corso di ristrutturazione o costruzione. La strada per arrivare era terribile e non asfaltata e le indicazioni erano assenti. Abbiamo avuto anche problemi con l’acqua (che non arrivava calda in tre delle quattro stanze prenotate e in mattinata e addirittura mancata). In una stanza il bagno era pieno di formiche giganti. Il personale non parla inglese. Quando siamo andati a pagare non è stato neanche possibile parlare col management (nè ci è stato dato il numero, quando chiesto, per fare le nostre rimostranze). Esperienza pessima.
الاطلاله ممتازه جدا تعامل الموظفين ممتاز
لا يوجد ثلاجه لا يوجد غساله ملابس لا يوجد سلم داخلي بين الغرفتين اذا حجزت الطابق الاول و الثاني و يكون السلم خارجي . سرير النوم مزعج و يحتاج تثبيت .

Our stay at Dowa Elegance Resort in Ella was truly unforgettable. The resort provided the perfect blend of comfort, excellent service, and serene surroundings. One of the highlights of our visit was the delicious traditional Sri Lankan dinner that was specially arranged for us upon request, a truly authentic and flavorful experience. The location of the resort is absolutely stunning. Perched in the hills, it offers breathtaking views of the mountains and lush greenery, with a peaceful atmosphere that made our stay incredibly relaxing. Waking up to the mist-covered landscape and taking in the panoramic scenery of Ella was nothing short of magical. I highly recommend Dowa Elegance Resort to anyone visiting Ella. The combination of warm hospitality, natural beauty, and peaceful ambiance made it a standout part of our Sri Lankan journey.
It has a beautiful view. The rooms are huge and spacious and I loved the view you get sitting in your bed. The staff is friendly and nice.
Breakfast has very limited options, especially for pure vegetarians
Location and the view from top of mountain and nice stuff as well Thanks
Lit bit far away from Ella centre and required road to be prepared last 300 meters
The room view is great, unfortunatelly the location is quite far, and even the staff is great we had some issues with other noise guests
It was a beautiful and relaxing stay at Dowa elegance resort. Loved the view! Very welcoming staff and well arranged room really worth the price. Highly recommend this place in Ella
None
The whole place was awesome. Location at the Highland provided us the opportunity to have the eagle view of the valley below. Room and everything in are all new and functional. Balcony was the bonus. All staff were courteous and helpful. We love this place.
Nothing
Everything! The hotel is beautiful and clean and the staff is particularly nice. We add a great stay with great view on the moutain, not too close to Ella city center if you are looking for calm. This was a great place
Wonderful place. Room was just amazing, beautiful and clean. The view from the room was stunning. Staff was very polite and always ready to help. Absolutely recommended!
Alll services and location superb! Excellent customer service & clean rooms!
I think breakfast should be much richer than offered.
The staff was very helpful, the property is very clean, comfortable. They provide breakfast and me being a vegetarian they customized the breakfast as per my choice which was really rewarding. I would recommend this property if staying in Ella. A lil off beat place, not near the nine arches bridge but the mountain views are exceptional. Must stay.
The location was breathtaking!
Perfect view and clean
Food for breakfast could better and especially the
Ambiance, big and clean room... breathtaking view
Roads to the hotel need some work
The view from the room is breathtaking. The place is quiet and serene. The staff is really sweet, helpful and professional. The beds are comfortable and washrooms are clean.
The washrooms had a slight stale smell but overall everything was great. It's slightly far from Ella town but we had a car and driver so we didn't really mind. The view and property was worth the drive.
Located in a calm and quiet place facing a beautiful greenish mountain view. Room was clean and spacious with an ensuite bathroom equipped with amenities. Served fresh and delicious meals. Friendly and very supportive staff ready to serve you with best hospitality. Ideal place for a staycation of a couple and family friendly too.
Very positive surprise when coming there after a bad experience in another hotel. The room is huge with a large area for the bed, a space for dressing and coffe/tea and another space for desk. The bathroom is clean and confortable. The private terrace is particularly big and offers an amazing view. Everything was perfect, the staff is very nice and food was excellent!
Room was lovely and clean.
Get dinner out in town and probably not at the restaurant.
The room is spacious and beautiful! The location is stunning with amazing views all around. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, would definitely recommend.
The location is a little confusing to reach and far from the city. Make sure you drive in with a Sri Lankan driver, particularly in the day light, because it’s easy to get lost. Also, because it’s in the middle of the mountain, there can be a lot of insects - come prepared.
Location is great. Getting there is a little difficult as directional boards are not there. The room is exceptional. All the facilities are there. The food is great.
It’s a little away from Ella near Dowa. Directional boards not being there was a minus. Tuk tuk hotel transport is available but a small van would be better.
Location bit away from Ella, but very beautiful scenery. Spacious rooms and modern bathrooms. Staff very friendly and attentive. The food was good. Can recommend for any one visiting the area.
The directions and distance from Ella could have been better indicated. The location is really Dowa and not Ella. Other than that all is great.
