Top Maha Eliya Hotel Reviews

The Golden Ridge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cleanliness, Pool, Staff and overall experience at this hotel."

Ella Flower Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property was so beautiful and the views from the room were outstanding! The hotel is conveniently located super close to the both the 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s Peak. Everything was so clean and well put together. The breakfast so delicious as well! The service provided by Hansani and the rest of the team during breakfast was efficient, fast and friendly. A special shout out goes to Dammika who helped us bring our bags up to our room and was already ready to help us check out! His friendly smile and welcoming nature made us feel so happy and welcomed it made the experience at the hotel so much more worthwhile! Will definitely come back here next time!"

The Cubes Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Well . We have travelled for 12 days now The cubes was our best hotel so far on our visit. I would have given 6 stars if available. This was made by everyone on the team. Rishard made us most welcome and after a few hours we booked a another night making 3 nights in all Our room was spacious and very clean We arrived in the late afternoon decided to eat in . Primal was the chef and produced marvellous curries . He is very jolly and welcoming Next morning after a great breakfast we headed out to the tea factory I thoroughly recommend the tea tour We had a great time in Ella and made by our stay at the cubes It’s a 10 out of 10 from us Terry and Sheila"

Misty Hills Ella Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Misty hills. The view was incredible, the staff so helpful and delicious breakfasts with an egg and omelette bar included. The room was cleaned each day with a balcony view out into the hills that stunned us every time we looked out. It was a good location - 15 minute walk into the centre, however they also organised hiring a scooter for us for our 2 days which we would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the wider bits Ella has to offer. The property is slightly rough and ready compared to the photos but this did NOT take away anything from the experience of our stay. The view made it one of the best spots we stayed in. We highly recommend Misty Hills to anyone wanting the best view Ella has to offer."

Araliya Green City - Your Gateway to Everything in Nuwara Eliya

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely five-star hotel in a convenient location, with a food court, mini-mart, and small shopping area right next door. It is also just a short distance from town. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful gardens, with a stupa situated across the road, adding to the peaceful surroundings. The rooms are spacious, modern, and beautifully designed, with very comfortable beds. The staff are outstanding — attentive, courteous, and friendly, with an excellent eye for detail. Their warm hospitality truly enhances the overall experience. Both the dinner buffet and breakfast were excellent, offering a wonderful dining experience. Overall, a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities, delicious food, and exceptional service. Highly recommended for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!"

Serenus Boutique Villa

8/10 Good

"Decent property or a short stay. The dining experience was good. Close to Nuwara Eliya town centre but not walkable. Considering the fact the area is a hill station with cold/colder weather conditions, the room(s) need a better heating setup that can make the visitors feel comfortable inside the room."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Maha Eliya?

The best area to stay in Maha Eliya is Nuwara Eliya Town, which offers convenient access to the region's main attractions and a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding tea country.

Nuwara Eliya Town is the central hub of Maha Eliya. It features historic-era architecture, well-maintained gardens like Victoria Park, and a central market for local goods. The town is laid out with a main road, Badulla Road, running through it, with most amenities clustered around the Grand Hotel and the racecourse.

Couples often find Nuwara Eliya Town a relaxing place to stay. They can enjoy leisurely walks through the park, visit the nearby Hakgala Botanical Garden, or take a scenic boat ride on Lake Gregory. The town also offers a selection of quality restaurants for dining experiences.

For travelers looking for a more secluded experience with direct access to tea plantations, staying slightly outside Nuwara Eliya Town, in areas like Kandapola or close to Labookellie, is an excellent option. These locations offer hotels and bungalows located amidst rolling tea estates, providing stunning views and a tranquil environment.

When is the best time to go to Maha Eliya?

The best time to go to Maha Eliya is during the dry season, from December to March, and again from June to September, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.

During these months, Maha Eliya experiences less rainfall and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and visiting tea plantations. The clear skies offer excellent views of the surrounding hills and valleys, which is particularly appealing for couples seeking scenic walks and photography opportunities.

Conversely, the inter-monsoon periods, especially April-May and October-November, can bring heavier rainfall. While the landscape appears lush during these times, some outdoor plans might be affected by the weather.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Maha Eliya.

How much is the nightly rate at a Maha Eliya hotel?

Prices for hotels in Maha Eliya often vary, but you can find a great deal from $17 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
