This place is high up on a hill in Ella. After hiking at Horton's Plains the last thing we needed was a big climb up the hill and lots of stairs in the hotel. The rooms were okay but no air con. They had a weird setup where the entry to the room was down a step from the rest... More

This hotel is very nice, spacious room, beautiful view, clean bathroom with hot water, but the highlight was definitelly service and helpful staff. Manager prepared for us breakfast at 5.30 in the morning as we had to leave early:-) Fresh juice, fruits, eggs and fresh toasts. I would definitelly recommend this hotel in Ella and would love to come back!

It has it's drawbacks, the view is not the best in Ella (which doesn't mean it's not good, just that there are some places with a view just breathtaking, while here it's just nice), and a climb to the hotel after a dinner out might be a bit too steep, but well, the positive sides definitely win the game.

He told us it was his brother but on chatting to driver it was not! Before arriving we received an ema from 'morris' confirming we could pay by... More

Like some of the earlier reviews, the hotel is situated on a steep hill. I consider myself reasonably fit however this hill took some getting used to. We stayed in room 401 which has windows on 2 sides and a large balcony and bathroom. Great views towards Little Adam's peak. The staff were always willing to help and food was... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed the convenience of being close to many restaurants. The rooms here are very spacious with nice balconies overlooking the hills. You can't see the famous Ella Gap, but the views are very green and peaceful. It's in a good location in the middle of the (very small) town, but the climb up... More

Being set back from the main road and up a hill it is very quiet here and has great views from the balcony. We had a triple which was more than adequate for a family of four. Everything worked and the bathroom was nice. Sadly no wifi. Right in the centre of Ella so an easy walk for hiked out... More

Hotel Alta Vista is affordable good hotel to stay in Ella. Rooms were clean and has more space. The view from the balcony is nice but it is not the Ella Gap view as displayed in their website. So if you are expecting to see the view from your room don't book this hotel. Staff were friendly , food was... More
