The view was amazing

Nothing.

The view and the location is excellent. Waking up to the views of the mountains and the waterfall was unbeatable. The breakfast was perfect. Isuranga, the host was amazing. He took us to Yala and stayed on the safari all day with us. He made sure that everything about our stay was amazing and then took us to Arugum Bay at the end of our trip.

It was all perfect!

The view and the lovely hosts who were always around to support was a gift. We couldn’t do so much in Ella because we got sick but the hosts completely cared about us and did everything that we get better asap. Thank you for all the delicious cooking and always be there if we needed something. Really appreciate! Because of our sickness, we really enjoyed to be completely private - with an outstanding view :) It was the best place to recover. It is close to the city and other sightseeing points in Ella. We would stay definitively again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment provides a great view over the valley and you will always start your day with a nice and fresh breakfast from the host. It was even possible to provide wishes for the food. Thanks a lot 😊

We stayed in Aloft view for 3 nights and it was amazing, Isuranga was extremely helpful. He helped us with your train tickets, he organised a Tuk Tuk taxi into the centre every evening and organised laundry service for us. The views from the room are spectacular, especially at sunrise. We got a lovely breakfast each morning with fruit and juice and it was different each day so we got to try loads of new dishes. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Ella.

Fantastic views and great breakfast. Really lovely and helpful hosts. Happy to organise transport and activities. About a 20-25 minute walk into the centre of Ella or a quick tuktuk costing around £1.30. Much nicer than staying in the centre of busy Ella! The water temperature for the shower was unpredictable - either boiling hot or freezing cold! There was also some building work going on so a little less privacy but this will be great once it’s finished! Would definitely recommend and stay again :)

The hotel was clean and comfortable, making our stay very pleasant. The view was absolutely breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. The laundry service was excellent and well-prepared, which was very convenient. Additionally, communication with the owner was immediate and hassle-free. The only downsides were that we didn’t have hot water for one night, but the owner immediately tried to fix the issue. The breakfast was just okay. Also, they are building additional floors upstairs, so construction noise could be heard in the morning.

Stayed in March 2025

There was construction work going on above us whilst we were there and the glass windows mean the room isn’t very private. There is only one guest room at the property. You are dependent upon a Tuktuk getting to and from the property and the pickup app in Ella is useless and there is so much demand the Tuktuk drivers don’t even bother negotiating for rides so travel around works out more expensive than other areas we stayed in.

Beautiful view from the property and lovely hosts. Wonderful breakfasts.

Room with amazing view! We had a great time. Owners are the nicest people, every morning we enjoyed delicious breakfast from our balcony with a view on a judge and mountains. Highlight of our trip.

A really clean and comfortable room with a stunning view! Isuranga and his wife are also amazing hosts and were really kind and helpful at all times. Also the breakfast was really great and was served to the balcony of our room. The town is only 20min away by feet or max. 10min by a Tuc Tuc

lovely quiet location, stunning views, amazing friendly assistance with anything we needed could be more helpful. Breakfast in the morning was a highlight with the sunrise and views.

It was very difficult to regulate the water temperature of the shower: either too cold or too hot.

The view from the terrace is absolutely stunning! In the night you can also see many bright stars. Comfortable and large bed, enough space for the suitcases and a very decent bathroom. The owners are very friendly, let us choose which breakfast we wanted, arranged tuk tuks and a laundry service for us. We felt very comfortable and welcomed.

Such an epic place to stay! Breathtaking sunrise

Water pressure in the shower needs to be adjusted and the driveway may be challenging for some people and vehicles.

Beautiful views, amazing breakfast, lovely comfortable accomodation.

- there’re shampoo, shower gel and soap provided - the view is amazing - there was a blanket (not just simple duvet cover so we weren’t cold) - owners are sweet - breakfast was really good

The only improvement could be an AC but Ella is in the mountains so the weather is mostly not very hot.

Aloft view was perfect for our stay in Ella. The views were priceless over the mountains and the city and since it is a 5min ride away from the city center it is very quiet up there. It was incredibly clean in comparison to other places we stayed in Sri lanka and also offered shampoo, shower gel, a hair dryer, kettle and a smal fridge. The WiFi was good and the hot water in the shower came quickly. The owners of aloft view are super kind and accommodating, they organized tuktuks and laundry service for us. The breakfast was homemade and very delicious. I read a comment here about privacy; it is next to a small way but there are not many people coming by, since it is not even big enough for cars. We really enjoyed our stay here and say thanks to Isuranga and Lakmali for their hospitality and their good advice for restaurants and sightseeing places🙏

Hot water was a bit dodgy.

Good location, great staff, great breakfast.

Lovely place with stunning views. Hosts were very nice and thoughtful (we drove back in the rain one day and they’d kindly moved my shoes from an area they would have got soaked). Very close to town (about 7mins by tuk tuk) but lovely and peaceful.

Access is via quite a steep track down and then up a steep flight of concrete steps adjacent to the accommodation. These weren’t walled in and had no handrail. None of this presented a great problem for us but may do for less mobile travellers. The overall experience was so remarkable though that these minor issues were quickly and easily outweighed.

A simply unique location and view: essentially a glass box on stilts. You find yourself actually looking down on the hills around Ella along with the circling birds of prey, and on a clear day out towards the south. Breakfast (served on our verandah) was excellent too. Eating whilst absorbing the views made for a pretty wonderful start to the day.
