    The mattress was a bit hard and we had the bathroom separated from the room, it is not the most practical but everything was spotless so it was not really an issue

    The view is so worth it, the owner was very nice and the breakfast was absolutely delicious! I recommend 100%

    The shower wasn't that hot, and some construction was taking place during the day.

    The pick-up service, the view and room are just awesome, the staff, the flexibility with the staff, the check-in process, the location, and nearby restaurants on walking distance. You can rent a bike from the accommodation.

    Extremely helpful and friendly owner. Ajith helped us with everything we asked for and arranged even laundry and TukTuk for us. The location is not too far from the center, quiet neighbourhood. Great view from the balcony, we really enjoyed the sunrise! Very delicious breakfast (and huge portions!)! There are also some nearby nice places to eat for dinner. Thank you, will hopefully come again!

    Amazing views from the room. The sunrise was spectacular (better than my morning hike to Ella rock). Host is lovely and helped me with getting some laundry done. Bathroom is big, very clean and with hot water. There’s a mosquito net for the bed and a drying rack. I slept super well and it’s dead quiet. There’s also a tv but no kettle. Host will make tea if you like. It’s a bit out of town - roughly 20 minutes uphill but I loved that. I had dinner and breakfast at cafe freedom just a few meters up the road, and once walked to bees honey restaurant which was about 15 min. I also walked directly from there to Ella Rock for sunrise.

    It’s a budget home stay but everything you need! No frills in the room- simple but has all you need. The view is stunning, with a large outdoor balcony. The host is really lovely. He’s super attentive and sweet. The breakfast is delicious and he the host puts a lot of effort in to it. It’s not fancy - but it is indeed lovely. We were also provided with a laundry service for 10€.

    Nothing!

    The view was spectacular! The host is so kind and makes a very warm welcome! We are so grateful to have stayed here. It’s a perfect place to stay for some tranquility away from the bustle of Ella centre. The room is very clean, simple, stylish with a big comfortable bed. Watching the sunrise from the balcony was magical! There is breakfast available but also a few cafes/restaurants to enjoy a few minutes walk away. We tried Moonlight and Cafe Freedom - both were delicious! Thank you for a great stay!
