The resort offers comfortable accommodation with free Wi-Fi access in the guestrooms.Each room has private large balconies to relax and enjoy the view and attached (private) bathroom with hot water.

The owner and the staff of this property exceeded my expectations. This place is 15-20 mins away from the railway station so don't let it set you off because the owner was very helpful to drop us to the city of ella where it's very happening. The street is very happening and multiple choices of restaurant. The owner was very kind to arrange us a scooty one of my best rides between the mountains. Highly recommend to ride to the The chef is a sweetheart if you request him for more food he brings it. The view from the balcony is just breathtaking and the balcony space is pretty decent. Also the bathroom is really spacious and the warm water flows decently. There fore the breakfast provided by this property is a bang for the buck. The quantity and the quality has exceeded my expectations. I would high recommend this place when visiting Ella.

This place is amazing! The hosts are absolutely marvellous, they were so kind, and they gave us great tips for things to do in Ella: - a great cooking class at a guesthouse nearby - wonderful walk to Ella Rock starting right next to the guesthouse - a taxi to Yala at a really great price (first taxi we took in Sri Lanka since we did everything by bus previously) - a day trip to Haputale so we could take the famous train, but only the best part (we missed it in Kandy) The bed is amazing, the surroundings a green haven of peace, at least when it’s not the weekend or a holiday, it’s hard to find quiet in Sri Lanka during those days 😅 We could see lot’s of giant squirrels from our deck, and one morning we woke up by monkeys jumping on the roof 😊 The included breakfast was abundant and different everyday (we stayed 3 nights). After two weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka, we are confident to say that this was our favourite place.

The host was incredibly helpful and respectful, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The room itself was spacious and spotless, with clean linen and towels provided for both of us. We also appreciated the small touches like complimentary soap, toothpaste, toothpicks, and cotton buds. In addition to these amenities, the room also had a small fridge/freezer, electric kettle, cups to make tea or coffee and a hairdryer which came in handy during our stay. The breakfast served at the resort was delicious and offered a great start to the day. Additionally, the location was perfect just a short 10 minute walk to Ella town. This made it easy for us to explore the area and access nearby attractions. Overall, I highly recommend The Dream Resort for the people/couples visiting Ella. The exceptional hospitality, cleanliness, convenient location, and additional amenities such as the fridge/freezer and hairdryer make it a standout choice. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

    We stayed in 9 different properties in Sri Lanka during our stay. Every place had outstanding service and really friendly staff, but the staff at Hotel Onrock were the best of the best. Major thank you to Panduka, Chandika, Mavindu and Madhan, all of who were simply outstanding. This was the best level of service we had ever received and we simply can't wait to come back. The hotel is in a fantastic location and the breakfast was one of the best we had. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Family stay, at a little distance of the center of Ella. In the middle of the jungle, with many bugs. Very simple, don't expect luxury. The owners are very kind and they offer excellent meals. The best dhal I ever got and the same for the curd with treacle.

    We came as a family. We were greeted as our own , helped to bring our suitcases to the room . When we checked into the room, the room was very clean and cozy. The hostess is very kind and responsive . It was very quiet at night , which is very rare to find . Also, when we woke up, they brought us a good breakfast with juice. Not far from the city center . The hostess helped the questions . The place is very picturesque, I highly recommend Pepper Garden Resort.
