This location is ideal: easy access to Ella’s rock through peaceful farmland, with a gorgeous train wending quietly through the lush valley. Best of all panoramic views in two directions from the dining room. And the best and most generous breakfast in Sri Lanka. A bargain and beautiful. Very sweet staff too.

This is not a slick impersonal resort; it is a small and humble place. Don’t expect 5* facilities. Do relish the proximity to Ella’s attractions but balanced out by the peace, away from the madness and constant noise of the town. If they could improve the hot water flow then it would be perfect.

I loved our stay here!! The rooms are high up and they have interconnected sliding doors - the wind sweeps through and it is just dreamy. The views are outstanding. Wifi excellent! Food was so fabulous - authentic and large portions. Special mention to the chef who makes the most amazing Sri Lankan potato curry - he has inspired me to perfect it when I get home. We also tried many varieties of Roti. The price is excellent and we will definitely be back!! There is a local tuk tuk driver named Lakshan who comes to pick you up and takes you to some lovely spots in the area - Zipline, Little Adam’s peak and the Arch bridge. The price for his 3.5 hours tour was less than I was willing to pay so I happily tipped him.

The area is hilly - be prepared for this!

Walking to the main central area of Ella is via a short cut thru the train tracks. Am experience one should not missed. Lovely views and quiet area. Suited for adventure walkers who doesn’t mind the uphill. Otherwise, a fast tuktuk ride can take you to the accomodation within about 10 minutes. This can also be organised with the owner should you wish. Traditional breakfast was fab ! Staff were lovely. The Pekoe trail is worth a try and can easily be accessed without a need for a walking guide.

Nothing. Unless if you have high expectations, as this place is propitious.

We had a fantastic stay at Ella Dream Catcher Resort, where the owner Venura picked us up from and dropped us off at our Beragala cottage. He also took care of all our transportation needs to Ella town and other attractions, which was very convenient. This allowed us to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the resort and the lively vibe of the town whenever we wanted. We just contacted him whenever we needed a ride. We also hiked Ella Rock, which was easily accessible from the hotel as it was located near the trail head. The room and the service were excellent and we couldn’t ask for more.

The owner Venura and his team are excellent hosts! He even picked us up from the station and offered us some rides in the city... The rooms are very nice and clean with a fantastic view into the green and surrounding mountains - For fans of the famous train in Sri Lanka even better, as the train track goes around the property and allows great pics! The breakfast is local style and very tasty. Venura has a big heart, takes excellent care for his guests and is always happy to help with advices, tipps or arrangements. We can strongly recommend to stay at your place!!

Really nothing!

Clean accommodation, great views of the surrounding areas. Good start point to climb Ella Rock. Staff were genuinely extremely friendly and helpful. Nice quiet location which may appeal to some, however main town and restaurants a little further away requiring a longer walk (30 minutes at good pace along railway tracks) or 10 minute tuk tuk ride (always around).

Excellent location on a hilltop overlooking the railway tracks ((several view points from room and resort) with views of Ella Rock, short walk to a nice waterfall and close to the Organic Tea Plantation. Superfriendly and knowledgeable owner going out of his way to accommodate his guests. Best food (dinner and breakfast) we had during our trip! Very clean rooms with stable hot & cold water supply, insects were not an issue. Ample parking is available, even small buses can reach the location.

Nothing comes to mind.

A small hotel in a peaceful hill with pleasant views. Only 250 m walking uphill from Kithaella station (next to Ella main railway station). Very friendly owner and staff. They treated our driver very nicely. Large and tasteful breakfast. We did a traditional Sri Lankan cooking class that was recommended by the owner. It was exotic and nice experience.

Steep hill to get to the place can be a challence to some cars. We made it fine. Also tuk-tuks drive it well.

It is hard to put in words how much we loved it at Dream Catcher Resort. It offers spectacular views either from the rooftop, the balcony or the restaurant. The food is amazing and the location could not be greater. It is a little bit outside of Ella town but I highly recommend that because out there it is so much more beautiful and you can walk into town on the railroad tracks which is breathtakingly gorgeous. The aspect that blew our minds however was the friendliness, helpfulness and general pleasantness of all of the staff and most of all the owner. He could help us with the most complex problems and drove us into town and back whenever we wanted. This was one of our mist loved places in all of Sri Lanka.

The location was accessible by Van. But through very narrow street. The owner met us and gave us a briefing about the property. The hotel is walkable distance from the train station. The view out of the room was amazing. Great breakfast with fresh fruits and western and local options. The owner gave us some advice for things to do.

One of the fans in the room didn't work properly and it was a bit uncomfortable during the night. Be ready to battle some insects as it's nature. When you are with a family that's not used to such an environment it was a battle.
