Everything at The Cubes was excellent… the peaceful location, away from the bustle of Ella town, the helpful and friendly staff, the room was first class and the food (dinner and breakfast) was fantastic.
I couldn't say enough good things about The Cubes Ella. We had originally planned to stay for one night, but ended up extending to three as we loved it so much. The rooms are spacious, with nice design touches and extremely comfortable beds. The breakfast options are delicious and the service is excellent. The staff really makes the place, we felt so well looked after.
A few shout-outs for the people who made our stay special: Rishard, the Manager, who is always up for a chat and makes sure you're happy; Primal, the Chef who's also a guide and can arrange many things (like the driver who took us back to Colombo), and our TukTuk driver Amal, who showed us all around town and was very kind and considerate.
Ella itself is a wonderfully vibrant town with lots of things to do and see, great food options, and beautiful nature. I definitely recommend Ella and if you're visiting, to stay at The Cubes.
Friendly & helpful staff, tasty local or international breakfast made to order.
Great view from restaurant area.
Hotel clean and exactly as presented in photos.
Had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful hilly, mountain-side hotel. The setting was serene and refreshing, but what stood out most was the exceptional hospitality from every member of the staff warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The breakfast was another highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options that made every morning special. A perfect blend of comfort, scenery, and genuine care.
Highly recommended.
Please work on your parking though.
We enjoyed our stay at The Cubes, it was a few minutes out of Ella which meant it was a peaceful escape from the bustling town and an easy tuk tuk ride into town. The scenery and views around the hotel were lovely. Service was helpful and friendly and we enjoyed the breakfast. Our room was large and the bed very comfortable with a lovely balcony.
One of the best places we stayed during our trip to Sri Lanka! The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful and the view is fantastic! A pleasure to stay at The Cubes!
The most friendly and accommodating staff - could not recommend any more. Best in the area unless you are wanting to splash lots on the more high end hotels!
It was a magical stay with great people who were always there for advice and help. The room was clean and had a balcony with a great view. Would definitely stay at this place again and again

We had a lovely stay. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was amazing. The room was clean and cozy. However the bathroom was a bit worn out and humid.
Really helpful and friendly staff. Even lent me some money(!) until I could get to an atm. Offered advice to local area and considering the remote location in Ella it’s a really superb little hotel and highly recommend.
The Cubes is a modern clean hotel with comfortable beds and amazing views. The service provided by the team is fantastic and they will do and arrange anything to make your stay enjoyable. The hotel is out of town and is very quiet. Nice if you want to get away from the buzz of Ella. It’s a short Tuk Tuk ride away, which again the team will organise (500lkr each way). We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast there as well and would thoroughly recommend the hotel.
The service was outstanding. Nothing was a problem. We highly recommended staying at The Cubes

Lovely views from room

Property is located pretty close to Nine Arch bridge and Ella Rock. They had a professional staff who greeted us with a nice Sri Lankan smile. Everything is clean and well maintained according to American standards. My wife and I really enjoyed the stay and we will be definitely visiting back with our other American friends in the upcoming summer breaks!
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Cubes Ella. The rooms are lovely, with Kool artwork and cosy lighting for the evening. The view from my balcony was also amazing. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly, anything you needed help with they were there straight away.
The breakfast is delicious, definitely I recommend to try the Sri Lankan and Continental Western options.
The hotel is about 8mins from Ella town by Tuk Tuk, the hotel arranged these for you very easily and they appear in moments. Area around the hotel is peaceful and perfect.
If I visit Ella again I’ll definitely be staying here.
Our stay at this property was absolutely amazing. The staff were extremely welcoming and accomodating. The hotel and the room were very clean and there was air conditioning. There was a lovely balcony with stunning views. The internet was very good and the tv worked very well. The dinner and breakfast were also very delicious and there were various options available. Overall the stay was amazing and the service was outstanding. Definitely value for money would definitely recommend and stay again.😊
Wonderful establishment!! Very clean, comfortable size balcony. In room, affordable dining. Great 2nd Floor restaurant area.
The view faces East, and you can catch a great sunrise coming over the top of the nearby adjacent mountains.
Staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. You'll really like it!!!!
NOTE: Depending on which direction you're coming from, there's a bridge being replaced, so you might have to go around thru the small tunnel
The host at the hotel could literally not have done any more for us. Incredibly helpful, if a little formidable, Primal was an excellent host. The room itself was very nice and the hotel was lovely. Ordinarily the location would be amazing, I’m sure, but currently (July 2025) there is building work going on less than 100 meters from our balcony. We were there over the weekend and it went on til 5pm on both days. It wasn’t particularly noisy but there was no privacy at all. We did not use the balcony that we had been looking forward to and we kept the curtains closed the whole time. I understand that this is not the fault of the host or hotel but I feel we should have been warned and given the option to stay elsewhere. The hotel was 5 minutes to Ella - 500lkr in tuktuk. The host also arranged our transfer to Mirissa with a Yala safari half way. This was amazing and although a little more expensive than gyg it was private which was well worth it. As vegans they were also very accommodating to our dietary requirements.
Everything about the Cubes Hotel is amazing. Friendly staff, clean rooms, outstanding service, views to die for!!
Staff will arrange Tuk Tuk etc for you, offer ideas for trips and just generally all round attentive.
Thank you to every part of the team.
Ps....the breakfast is to die for
