Ella is a dream and this property was so nice! The whole ambiance is beautiful and calming. They even have a garden on the premises. Our room has a magnificent view great for watching the sunrise. I opted to watch from outside near the garden. It was so magical to watch the Sun rise while listening to the birds serenade in the background and faint Buddhist chants growing gradually louder as the Sun came up! I highly recommend this property for your stay in Ella and wish we could have stayed longer. I almost did not even come to Ella but so glad I took the 7 hour train right to get here from Kandy. Very amazing place!

Amazing view and staff!

Top-notch service! Its the best view of all hotels in Ella! The service is just amazing, Priyantha Takshila and the crew helped us with everything! So warm and friendly! We had some questions and then we got upgradedto the suite ith private jacuzzi and it made our trip even more amazing. They arrenged spa visit, helped with smart planning and schedule and also gave that "extra care and attention" that is hard to find now a days!

A little piece of paradise

This hotel was a little slice of paradise! I’m not one for spending too much time on the hotel grounds but this hotel was an experience in itself. One of the best views of Ella - right between Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak. One of the best sunrise views. The garden is beautiful as well. They offer yoga daily in the garden which was truly a highlight of our time in Ella. Staff was very friendly and accommodating helping us book drivers and activities. It was truly a treat staying here!

This property is situated on a beautiful hill where you can see sunrise just like from Little Adam’s Peak. Rooms are old fashioned train station themed, which adds nice touch. Free yoga session is nice addition. Reception staff is nice but the restaurant staff in the morning breakfast are not very attentive. Overall our stay was good, but with the price point of view Ella now has another amazing new resort nearby. But if you want to stay in close proximity to Ella town this hotel is best.

I really liked how peaceful this place was with a great view. The English breakfast was not great, but the Sri Lankan breakfast was very good. And the Jacuzzi is nice to have, but it’s not hot. The room was great that I had with a view of Ella rock. But the bathroom doors were kinda like closet doors and made a big noise when you went in and out the people were very nice and helpful and kind. The location was a bonus cause you could just walk down the hill and you’d be right in the middle of restaurants and shops. Not far from the train station so you could easily go to see the nine arches Bridge, which is very cool.

We have stayed some upscale hotels in the Ella area, but Echo is the best. We highly recommend this place.

Serene Bliss Amidst Nature: Perfect Ella Getaway in EKHO, ELLA. Nestled in the lush hills of Ella, Sri Lanka, lies a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts EKHO ELLA the Eco-Friendly Retreat. As a passionate advocate for sustainable tourism, I was thrilled to discover this tranquil haven that seamlessly blends luxury with eco-consciousness. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in the soothing embrace of nature. Surrounded by verdant forests and breathtaking views of Ella's iconic landmarks, every corner of the resort exuded serenity. The eco-friendly ethos was evident in every aspect of the retreat, from its use of locally sourced materials to its commitment to minimizing environmental impact. Accommodation options ranged from cozy villa alike rooms to spacious bungalows, each designed with eco-friendly principles in mind. Green gardens to supply for delicious dishes at the restaurant, while rainwater harvesting systems ensured efficient water usage. The charm of the accommodations was complemented by modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay without compromising on sustainability. Special highlights to SANJEEWA & NETHMI from restaurant noted down our preferences and surprised us every day in breakfast. PRIYANTHA from housekeeping made sure our rooms are spotless. Special mention to UDESH, the hotel manager who went above and beyond to make sure we are well taken care of.

Globalement agréable

Les + : - situation : à l'écart de la ville d'Ella, donc au calme, loin de l'agitation - vue splendide depuis la terrasse - propreté impeccable - personnel très sympathique même si pas toujours très compétent (le matin avant notre arrivée, il nous été indiqué à tort qu'il n'y avait aucune réservation, ce qui nous a pourri toute notre matinée à essayer de trouver une solution alternative pour qu'au final on apprenne plusieurs heures après qu'ils avaient retrouvé la réservation ; on a été surclassés) Les - : - globalement, la décoration est vieillissante - le prix est excessif pour le Sri Lanka et la prestation fournie

The Place to stay in Elle

If you want something special at Elle , close by the town , but far away to enjoy silence and nature , then is Ekco Elle the place to go . It is not cheap but after your visit you now it is all worth .

Beautiful property! We stayed here for one night in January and I wish we could’ve stayed for more. Upon arrival, we got a complimentary upgrade to the room with the jacuzzi and it was so nice to have it - if I were to come back, I would book this room again. The room was a good size, clean, and in great condition. The amenities provided were nice. They had a pre-fix menu for breakfast along with eggs however you wanted them cooked, and it all tasted wonderful and was served in their upscale dining room with gorgeous views of the mountains. We didn’t have dinner there but wished we could fit it into our schedule since everything else was so nice. The staff was also very hospitable and friendly. Overall, the whole place was fantastic! The only suggestion I would make to the hotel is to provide guests with slippers or mop the floors after each stay - we did not have our own slippers so we walked around the room with our bare feet, and the floor was very dusty.
