    Unfortunately, they were repairing the terras while I was there. So I could not enjoy it. But the view is fantastic

    The couple hosting the rooms. The breakfast, the location, the view....charming and great value for money.

    It’s too stiff to carry the bags. Tuktuk even didn’t want to go up. To have food and other facilities you have to walk.

    All basic facilities were provided. Breakfast was good.

    Please note the hotel is at the top of a very very steep hill, would be difficult to access for anyone with mobility issues. Tin roof a bit loud in the wind/rain at night. No AC.

    Very respectful and polite staff. Excellent breakfast, by far the best we’ve had during our stay. Close proximity to city centre. Comfortable stay, good shower.

    The only issue was we had to walk with our bags up the very steep hill becasue no tuktuk couldn’t or wanted to take us. It’s a climb but worth it.

    The staff is extremely friendly and the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was included in our stay and it exceeded our expectations.

    Only small things would be that the bed was made from 2 single bed so was slightly uncomfortable if you lay in the middle on the lines. The accommodation was up a very steep hill which was completely fine for me but worth noting if someone is not fit.

    Amazing view and large room. Provided everything you would need and small information pack which was a nice addition. Balcony was great. Breakfast was incredible and really make it exceptional value for money.

    Despite the hill, the location was very central. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom was clean. The terrace we had in our room was great. Breakfast was big and tasty. Wifi worked well. The host was very polite, servicial and warm. The only thing we didn’t like was the lack of hand towels.

    Breakfast was very generous. Staff very helpful. Lent me an umbrella after I lost mine. Give me good advice about activities. Good value for money. A bit of a steep road to Guest house but that was no issue for me.

    Lack of power plugs next to the bed. Lack of light switches by the bed. Low water pressure at the shower, although the staff tried to fix it.

    A basic hotel with a few rooms close to the main road of Ella. Main issue is that there is quite a hill u need to walk every time to reach the hotel and it will be a challenge for the not-fit people. But it's very close to all the shops and restaurants. Actually one restaurant is like 3 minutes away There is a great mountain view from the room's balcony and from outside. The rooms are very basic. There is no fridge, ac, tv, shower gel. The bed is quite comfortable. The staff was super friendly and it was nice to inform them about our time of breakfast every day. There was no daily cleaning.

    Located on top of a very steep hill, not possible to drive by taxi. Loud during the night due to the bars in the city.

    Very friendly and attentive owner, amazing breakfast. Clean and spacious room, very good value for money

    There is a wall-to-wall carpet in the room, which was quite old and dirty. The overall cleanliness could be improved.

    The staff is extremely kind, helpful, and very welcoming. The breakfast is delicious.

    The house is quite outdated. It looks better in the photos. The mosquito net was very dirty. We clipped it on the side to avoid coming in contact with it. No toiletries in bathroom and nobody changed our towels/ threw the bins for 3 days.

    The staff is extremely friendly - he prepared lovely breakfast for us in the morning. The bed was big and comfortable. The location is good - 5 mins walk from main city but with a hill.

    Needs more vehicular accessibility especially the last 200 mts is difficult to climb especially if the guests are not athletic. Of course the staff help with the luggage but physically need to climb the last stretch which is difficult

    Wi-Fi was poor. The shower flow was non-existent first night which was improved after the owner adjusted something. The road to the property is very steep which is walkable but I definitely could not have managed this with my luggage. No storage in room other than a desk area and one shelf.

    Location was great. Very close to Ella centre with plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. Also railway station is very close by. Owner picked us from the railway station which was a huge help. Very friendly couple who fed us well for breakfast and looked after us. Bed was very comfy.
