Ella Gap Panorama

Der Ausblick auf die Landschaft ist wunderschön. Die Unterkunft ist einfach und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Aber es fehlt trotzdem an nichts. Das Bad wurde scheinbar erst renoviert und ist jetzt sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Essen war sehr gut und das Personal sehr freundlich. Eine kleine Oase ein wenig außerhalb von dem turbulenten Ella

Lots of bugs crawling in the bathroom

Beautiful views, friendly staff

Very basic, gheko running up the bedroom walls

The view from the hotel is so good. Mountain view along with waterfall. The lawn of the hotel is so superb. Though due to rain we could not sit outside. But this terrace location is mind blowing. Food was also good.

TV not worked. internet was not working. no room tissue available.

basic amenities like the washroom was not clean.. taps were broken, roof was leaking

Fabulous views and lovely quiet location out of town.

Could not pay by credit card due to poor signal so had to find another ATM for sufficient cash.

Great location, stunning views friendly helpful staff, good breakfast

The staff was great! And great breakfast, awesome views.

Amazing view!!!

Of course the hotel is a little bit old, because it was one of the first hotel in Ella.The view is amazing. The room was really calm and at the good distance from the noise of Ella. In our room the bathroom was new. The staff is great ready to help but discreet. The laundry service is available.

Location and view from hotel

The breakfast offered was average at best, and the lack of trained staff was evident throughout my stay. Service was slow and often unresponsive to basic requests.Surprisingly, the hotel did not accept card payments, which is inconvenient and outdated in today's digital age.The room was infested with mosquitoes, making it uncomfortable to stay without proper insect control measures. Additionally, the absence of air conditioning exacerbated the discomfort, especially during warmer weather.There was no phone in the room, which made communication inconvenient. Moreover, the absence of a lift meant climbing several flights of stairs for every need, which was exhausting.

The views are wonderful and location very good.

Room was not very clean and there were some bugs there.. Noisy fan. Breakfast ok, and coffee/tea also in the room.

The view was fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The room is just okay. Toilet with older tiles , so as the room fixtures. There's also way too much beetles. We are okay with that but was quite a bit in room, toilet and balcony.

It was all about the location which faced south down the valley covering both Ella and the waterfall to the SW. Excellent terrace in front of the property with uninterrupted views. The walk down into Ella took 12 minutes on foot. 500 rupees by tuk tuk back up the hill.

No alcohol served - but you could bring your own onto the premises. Recommend that you book rooms on the second floor - our view on the first floor was slightly impeded by the roof, a water tank and a really poorly sited satellite dish.

The location is excellent.

The bathroom could have been a little nicer.

Staff excellent. No credit card facility. Great views.

Excellent location with a beautiful view of the Ella gap. Value for money.

The view is amazing!!! Don’t miss the sunrise from the balcony it is one of the best experiences in Sri Lanka. Everything was comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stat at Ella Gap Panorama. The rooms were clean and spacious, with comfortable beds. The views of the vistas were spectacular at all times of the day. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of fruit, pancakes, eggs, rice& curry options to name a few. The staff were very friendly and polite. We wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend this place.

The location ! The view is breathtaking!

Less spacious rooms!

Nothing

First of all they don’t have a credit card machine and all the payment you need to do by cash. It is not a hotel it’s like a lodge with lot of stairs. Hotel has its own rule you can’t eat anything inside the room

Stunning view from the balcony (and bed); well equipped, clean room; nice staff; very good rice & and curry for dinner and substantial breakfast; was our second stay here, will come again

No card payment possible in contrast to statement on Booking.com confirmation.

Nothing

Dirty bad breakfast too many insects everywhere Horrible experience

Above all, it is the location and spectacular views that set Ella Gap Panorama apart.

Nothing to report.

Nice attentive staff. Amazing view. Good food.

Little Adam and Ella Rock deliver great views...but to be honest, the one at Ella Gap Panorama is topping the others...besides very friendly staff, good curries but also western food.

Nice location

Cuisine facilities can be improved

Very good

We ordered extra lunch.It is very bad.

Every thing was perfect from room, view and breakfast. Highly recommended place to stay

view is amazing, friendly staff

water pressure of showers need to be fixed

The location is just amazing, having a very nice view (I think the best view in Ella), the staff were really great made me feel I am at home. The breakfast is something you need to consider to have it when booking room in this place. This place is a great place for families and small size groups. Great place to have morning morning exercises (walk, jogging, yoga)

1-2 Km far from city centre, However, they can arrange transportation

service

nothing

The view is spectacular, best in Ella. Simple, basic place with million dollar views

The hotel is tired, ugly and in need of an upgrade.

beautiful view, spacious room, nice staff that has upgraded our room to one with better view on the top

need to be careful with insects, and keep windows closed, otherwise room will be full of them ( well we are in jungle so it’s obvious)

Lovely staff, lovely location with a great view, comfortably big room, good food

only the view

one of the worst stay in my life .very limited facilities with unpleasant smell .bathroom was smelly and not clean.breakfast was not tasty and food looked very old .only good thing is the view .i would not recommend this place to anyone.

The view is gorgeous. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The place is very quiet and it's only 3 minutes to Ella by car. The rooms and facilities are not new but everything was functioning and it is quite clean.

Beautiful panoramic location.

some power sockets are not working standard.

Location is very good and Food also. Bad thing is the booking.com

A great hotel with really good Sri Lankan-food (maybe the best rice and curry). Helpful personel that does their best to help with transportation. Fantastic view of Ella and easy to go to Little Adam's Peak and such.

Fint hotell med nydelig beliggenhet i en skråning. Flott uteområde. Perfekt for de som liker fred og ro å det å gå i fjellet

On check in we were shown to a very dingy room downstairs which didn't have the extra bed for our son we had especially asked for. When we complained they offered him a room in another part of the hotel which we weren't happy with, eventually they moved us to a much nicer upstairs room, but it wasn't quite clean and restocked, but was OK for the one night. Dinner was OK, but quite bland and breakfast was not good.

Well, what a view! This place is breathtaking. The building is a bit aged, however, the rooms are large and clean. The hot water worked well and the bathroom was clean and tidy. I loved the feel of this place which was complimented with gentle, kind and homely customer service. No task seemed too much. The vegetable curry I ate for dinner was one of the best I sampled whilst in Sri Lanka. It was fresh, authentic home cooking. Yum.

Lovely little hotel with stunning views. We had a large, spacious and comfortable room. Supun, the manager was so helpful with advice and maps for our walks. Also organised a taxi to our next destination. The restaurant has a surprisingly wide menu of both local and western dishes and the food was very good. Our only issue was a cold shower!

First of all, the view was amazing! From the balcony, we were able to see little Adams rock. However, that is the only positive thing about the place. Our room was in bad shape - bathroom window was broken, many bugs, no air conditioning, no WiFi (that worked!), the staff didn’t speak very good English. Furthermore, we were woken up before 7am by loud noises from craftsmen.

The views were amazing, the sheets were clean and one young man was cheerful- those are the only positive things to say. Everything needed a good scrub and I do not recommend this as a place to stay. Accommodation was provided for our driver but it was so bad he refused to stay there.

Chambre De Luxe limite propre (traces sur les murs) Porte-serviette et mitigeur lavabo cassé. Fenêtre ne fermant plus. Propreté de la douche à revoir. Le patron est limite aimable Le seul point positif : la vue

Outdated and overpriced for what you get. Room was dirty and we had issues with payment (when we checked out we were told everything was paid up but a few hours later they had informed us that we still owed money... they tracked us down in Colombo to retrieve the balance). Good breakfast and great views though.

Tour Sri Lanka for a few days and you will lower your expectations. Normally I would say this is an acceptable place. But I have been in Sri Lanka for 8 nights already and have seen really appalling places. This place is not too bad. At least there is hot water shower that works and a big ceiling fan. The view is very good. and that’s what makes this place worth it. Other than that there is nothing else worthy to mention about this place. But I would recommend this hotel only because it’s better than the other places at this price.

I stayed here with my family (2 adults and 3 children). It worked well for us. The view in the morning is to die for. Be sure to wake in time to watch the sunrise.

Very nice and clean rooms - newly refurbished. Super helpful staff, spoke good English, polite and very accommodating (we checked out very early so they packed breakfast for us which was lovely). A great experience - highly recommended.

ホテルからの眺めが最高です。部屋の中からも幻想的で美しい朝日を眺める事ができます。深い谷を挟んで左にリトルアダムスピーク、右にエッラロック、迫力ある滝も見る事ができます。景色を眺めのんびりするには最高のホテルです。

A hidden gem. Great location, lovely staff and excellent rooms. Wonderful food. Bring your own alcohol if you wish as no license. Great value for money.

The view from the terrace and rooms was great (when there was no rain and fog), but that's about the only plus -- and to get the view one does not need to stay in the hotel but simply take a tuk-tuk up the hill. I had the impression that the owner of the place was trying to cash in on the location (view) without providing the minimum of resources for organisation and catering to make the stay in the place pleasant. Staff was trying to be helpful and to overcome these structural constraints, but they could only do so much. It was the most expensive place we stayed at during our round-trip of Sri Lanka, and unfortunately it was also the worst by far. A bare bones place with a limited offer of bad food (especially breakfast).

Very Nice place in Ella, calm and very safe, abowe 1.5km from the city center, but easy by walk to go (more difficult to come back, 200-250 Rs for a tuktuk). The view is unbelivable, the breakfast is perfect and the staff is nice ! For us, one négative point is the cleanliness or the room is not perfect, it can be better for the price. But we recommend this hôtel, it was a fantastic week in Ella Gap Panorama ! Thank you very much!

Nice small hotel up in the hills with fantastic views.
