“I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ella who wants a quiet and relaxing stay.”
+Kithal Ella Station Resort is located right next to Kithal Ella railway station and is also about a 30-minute walk to Ella along the railway tracks. It’s a perfect place for couples or anyone who wants to stay somewhere peaceful away from the busy town of Ella. The room was very clean and comfortable, with a nice bed and a clean bathroom with warm and hot water. The view from the room is amazing - you can see Ella Rock and the railway line, which makes the place very special. The food was also delicious. We had the rice and curry dinner and it was incredibly tasty. We also tried the famous Sri Lankan kottu, and honestly it was one of the best kottu we had in Sri Lanka. the resort is very close to Ella Rock, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing with the sounds of birds and nature all around. It’s a great place to relax peacefully. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The Wi-Fi speed was good, and since I had to do some online work, it really helped a lot. overall, this is a beautiful place surrounded by green nature, with clean rooms and a peaceful environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ella who wants a quiet and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

“it was an amazing place with a beautiful view. The price we paid was very reasonable”
+I chose Kithal Ella Station Resort, and honestly, it was an amazing place with a beautiful view. The location is great, and the railway station is within walking distance. The food was very tasty, and the chef prepared everything perfectly. We stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed our time there. Ella Rock is very close to the property, and there is also a small waterfall nearby where we enjoyed a refreshing waterfall bath. The view is stunning, and the place is very calm, peaceful, and relaxing. The room was very clean, the bathroom was excellent, and all the room facilities were very comfortable. Breakfast was arranged in the room with a beautiful view. It was a wonderful experience having breakfast while watching the train pass by. The manager ( owner Ayesh ) were very supportive and even helped us arrange our train ride, which became a memorable experience for us. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ella. The price we paid was very reasonable, and the service was excellent.

“Great accommodation, friendly staff”
+Friendly staff, sorted us out with a scooter on arrival. Always asked what time and what we wanted for breakfast.

“An enjoyable stay”
+Host was so lovely and accommodating, organising a packed breakfast when we had an early check out, and even organised a tuk tuk into town. Great location next to the train station and close proximity to start of the Ella Rock trail. The pancakes for breakfast were great too!
−We felt that hand towels and bath mats should be a given in the rooms, as should be working power plugs.

“Exceptional”
+Staff is nice. Delicious breakfast and dinner. You hop off the train and the villa is right in front of you so you don’t have to be worried about any transportation. They can arrange you a tuk tuk ride to the 9 Arch back/forth for a reasonable price. We had great time, totally worth the money and I recommend the place.

“More like an airbnb outside of ella - money for value not too good..”
++ Building is cool, big and clean rooms + good location for ellas rock hike and trainstation kithalella + view from room: train, djungle, fields
−- towels we little big dirty (brown spots, replaced it quick on demand) - location is quite far from Ella City (15-20‘ tuktuk drive, especially by night/rain not too enjoyable) - the 2 guys there were super friendly and lovely but communication in english was rather hard and they were not too helpful after all reg - reception is closed in the late evening when coming back from ella (but you can probably arrange it otherwise) - cook was on holiday so there was no restaurant open (besides breakfast) - wifi was not working properly
