Hotel Onrock

We stayed here one night with a family and small kids. Reception is lovely and they have greeted us with cold drink (you need it after a steep climb to get to the hotel!). We had a room with a view of Adams peak , unfortunately we also had a view of water tower and car park and being on the second floor , It was hard to focus on the view behind this all. Rooms are a little tired for what they are charging. And no air- condition , just fans , so if it’s very hot it can be a little tricky. Wi- fi was okay, best in the lobby or restaurant. Breakfast was good. It’s a lot and a lot of choice , either western or Sri Lankan (try Sri Lankan ! It’s good! ) Overall it’s good , but I would suggest they need a little investment into the rooms to charge their prices. PS go to Jade Green restaurant for a dinner. This ladie served us 5different veg currie platter with rice and it was the best we had in all Sri Lanka , I only regretted not taking cooking classes with her. Aubergine curry was our favourite! It also has a small balconies overlooking Ella’s Main Street. Don’t miss it!

We are a family of four, with two small kids. We went on a one week trip to srilanka during which we stayed in three different hotels/towns. Hotel Onrock was definitely the best hotel we stayed in. Most hotels will charge extra for a fourth person but the room size and bed size will be the same as for three people. This hotel had plenty of space in the room. There were two king size beds. Very comfortable. Also, the views from the balcony were excellent. The hotel is situated at the top of a small hill and gives great view of Ella Rock and the water falls on another hill. We tried western breakfast, srilankan dinner and spaghetti for the kids. Everything was excellent. They suited our vegetarian needs. The staff were very warm and friendly. Manager Kavish, restaurant staff Madhan and others. Thank you for making it a great stay for our family! Another plus with the hotel location is that it is very close to the Ella town center and a good strip of road with nice restaurants and shops.
