This was a little disturbing that we had no hot water, no internet, the fridge was off and slightly mouldy, mould in the cupboard, a leak in the bathroom, and the air conditioner was faulting out. Other than that everything else seamed ok. We would not stay here again until they sort out their staff and pre inspections of the rooms. It’s really a pity as this property has beautiful views.

Stayed at Aloft Grand Hotel for one night while traveling around Sri Lanka. The hotel view is very pretty, the rooms are clean and straightforward, not luxurious. Fair room for the price we paid. The staff and service was great, very nice people and super attentive of all our needs.

What a little gem
What a little gem the Aloft Grand turned out to be. The chalets provide you with everything you need for your stay and the staff are beyond helpful. We were passing through Ella from Kandy on our way to Galle and wished we’d planned our trip differently to have more time in Ella. One of the best things about the accommodation is the incredible view and also the nature. Absolutely loved it and would definitely staff again. The day we were leaving the hotel organised our car to Galle at a very reasonable price. Our driver took is the scenic route via the waterfall and some other amazing sights. Really appreciated.

Friendly staff and very cute cabins with lots of room. Accessibility needs to be reviewed. Path to cabins are steep and slippery with shale. They should really consider adding a stairway.

Cosy chalets
Staff were really friendly and helpful, room was nice and cozy. Breakfast was good, they were really fast when I needed to leave early. Bathroom- shower ran out of water (hot and cold) and was hard to finish washing my hair. Would stay again.

Five stars are straight up lies
I have to say, my stay here was a big letdown, especially with all the 5-star reviews out there. When we got to our room, it was a mess. There was chewed gum everywhere, and it looked like no one had bothered to clean it at all. The bathroom was even worse, smelling like sewage, and the towels were dirty and had gum in them too. There was a cockroach and some other leech-like critters in there as well. Lovely… We kept asking for someone to clean up, give us new towels, and change the bed sheets, but nothing happened. Good thing we brought our own towels. Breakfast was a total flop. We got some juice, coffee, toast with butter and some sweet jam, and a sad-looking omelette with cold sausages. They’ll get you a tuk-tuk whenever you need one, but you’ll end up paying twice what you usually would. It’s a bummer because the guy we dealt with the most was super friendly and always smiling, but when it came to getting things done, not so much. I’d say steer clear of this place!
