Very nice hotel in wonderful Ella

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.

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.

Fantastic quiet hotel with great service and food

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.

An absolutely wonderful stay.

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.

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!

Wir hatten zuerst beim Empfang einen schlechten Eindruck da wir ziemlich in unser Zimmer gehetzt wurden. Die mitarbeiter wurden aber die nächsten Tage sehr herzlich und haben uns sehr gut umsorgt. Das Frühstück mit dem Ausblick wurde hervorragend präsentiert und man hat sich alle Mühe gegeben das wir uns wohl fühlen. Die Zimmer sind „okay“ der Zustand leider etwas heruntergekommen. Für europäische Standards Gewöhnungs bedürftig. Man muss in Sri Lanka Abstriche machen aber wird dafür von lieben Menschen und einem Lächeln belohnt und empfangen.
