Our stay on the top floor of this hotel has the most amazing views of the entire valley. The room was quiet and spacious.

Good view but not clean

The view from the hotel is stunning. It was the most beautiful surprise. But the condition of the room was nasty to say the least. There was mould in the fridge and it smelt nasty. The cleaning was not done properly either, compared to other hotels. The service was good.

Amazing views from the room overlooking Ella Rock. Host was friendly and helpful in organising transport. Breakfast was lovely. Very quiet at night. We got fitter by the uphill walk to the hotel. There are steep stairs leading down into the motel but are manageable. Lots of birds, monkeys and squirrels near our balcony. We even saw a deer below. Definitely recommend to anyone staying in Ella. 3 minute walk to Main Street.

Delight with Forested mountain view

Superb accomodation if only for the view from the bed looking out onto the Ella valley. Then a surprisingly fullsome breakfast accompanied by a medley of fruits. The two brothers looking after the place were able to book tuk tuk drivers who did not fleece you like a number of the others in Ella town. Therefore spacious well appointed room with fan. as air conditioning would not normally be necessary in Ella. Also no mosquitoes rather some fruit flies from the surrounding lusious vegetation. Great job!

Amazing views of Ella

A fantastic location with amazing views of Ella. The staff who run the hotel were fantastic and able to help with all travel plans. Breakfast was good. The room was basic and could have been cleaned more regularly but overall would recommend this as a good base.

Zimmer waren wirklich in keinem guten Zustand und hätten auch ein bisschen Sauberer sein dürfen. Auch die Handtücher hatten braune Flecken. Der Service war gut, konnten einen Roller direkt über die Unterkunft buchen.

Incredible view, the pictures don't do it justice. Humming birds, woodpeckers, fire flies all in the garden underneath the floor to celing windows. Managers very frendly and helpful with walks, transport. etc. We were a bit nervous about it being a smoking room as we are non smokers but it isnt like a japanese or european smoking room with 20mm of yellow nocotine on the walls - it was very clean and didnt smell of smoke at all. Would book again.

Great stay!

Great stay! We arrived at Ella train station around 7pm (train was late). The hotel manager picked us up at the train, which was very nice as the hotel is located on a steep hill. Amazing views from the balcony! Clean and spacious rooms. Helpful staff!

Reasonably priced but not suitable for heavy bags

Our room was very basic, though adequate. It would benefit from an additional chair (there was one chair for the dining table). Otherwise the owner was very friendly and offered a nice breakfast. The actual room itself was clean. If you have heavy bags though, I wouldn't recommend this place. There is a long steep path to get down to the house (only accessible by foot) and with day packs it was already very challenging - we are young and of moderate fitness level.

Great little hotel

We loved this spot. A spotless, simple room with a lovely balcony and the stunning view. Made better by a wonderful welcome from the super helpful manager.
