My partner and I are enjoying our third day at Ambiente; a hilltop hotel in Ella with great service, wonderful views and reasonable prices (2800 rupees). The food is also excellent at the hotel. This is easily the nicest place we have stayed at so far on our holidays. It is ideal for hill walkers and the climate is nice... more

Stayed 2 nights out of season so we were the only people staying. Room 1 in the new wing offered stunning views down the "Ella Gap". Do not expect luxury but a comfortable hotel with decent food and a peaceful location. We used it to chill out in the middle of a 14 day tour. Caught some sun, got the... more

Ambiente is a beautiful, clean, super chilled out small hotel. The views from the room terraces and restaurant are spectacular, mountains and waterfalls! You can take a great walk along the railway to the waterfalls and the resident dogs will be your guides!! The pefect place to rest for a few days while seeing wonderful Sri Lanka. more

I love Sri Lanka, it is my second home. Over the last 10 years I have visited the country 14 times and hope to do many more trips. One of my favourite places I was taken to by Upul from Sri Lanka Tailored Tours was the Ambiente hotel at Ella. The hotel is only small nestled amongst the tea plantations... more

A nice place. Environment is also very nice. Actually this is a small place. When you are going to up country this place is very good for stay one day or two days. Rooms are ok. It is very suitable for staying with a family. Food is not bad. more

The rooms are nice - reasonable size, large balconies and very clean. Excellent rice and curry, devilled chicken etc... served up at the main house... the staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful -... more

'Ambiente' is a great little hotel on a hill about 10 mins walk from Ella. The rooms are relatively basic (by western standards) but the staff are friendly and the local Sri Lankan food prepared by the hotel is very good. The main reason to stay at the hotel is the views from the balcony which are absolutely stunning. One... more
