“Nice stay in Ella”
We really enjoyed our stay there. The view from the room is amazing. The room was equipped with everything we needed and the staff was kind and helpful! The hotel is on a hill, but it is accessible by tuktuks or cars. We would stay there again.

“Great views from room and a comfortable stay”
Fantastic views, great staff , nice quiet location up a hill to get to accommodation but that normal for Ella. A nice light airy room with a comfortable bed and good hot shower and kettle to make a cuppa in the morning , it was great to sit on the large balcony to see views of Ella rock

The room is excellent. The view is breathtaking. The room has a really big balcony. The staff is really friendly, always want to help, and always available. Ella is a really touristic place, so the prices are bit high compare to the local average, but you can find some really good places near to the hotel.

“Comfortable room has excellent balcony with lovely views”
Love the location though you have to walk uphill to reach the place. But the views from the balcony is fantastic, and I could even do my birding from the balcony itself. Spotted like 5 different species of birds in my 2N there. Short walk down to the main thoroughfare.

“The view! The view!”
The view is amazing. Very close to the village, but none of the noise. Basic facilities, no breakfast, but just next to the place little restaurants that offer a good breakfast with the same view. And there is a water kettle in the room. I could sit on that balcony for hours. And I did 😉😃
