Great stay with an inviting loving family. Quiet but walking distance to town. Stairs will be challenging for someone not in good physical condition. Hope to return someday. Great price and would recommend to any travel looking to calm and simple side of Ella.

Good all round choice
This is family run guest house conveniently located within walking distance of the railway station. Also only a 4 minute walk into the town centre ( which is fairly hectic at times ) This is located far enough away to be quiet and peaceful . You can hear the weekend cricket , but I think probably just about everyone in Ella can as well. The breakfasts were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. I would recommend this as a place to stay.

Very nice setting in the hills of Ella; centrally located to all restaurants, bars and only 5 min walk away from the famous Ella train station.
Very friendly owners; they greet you with a welcoming drink or coffee and help you up the stairs with the luggage.
Breakfast is plenty and good. Overall good value for the price we’ve paid.

The accommodation was basic but comfortable, and the hosts were very welcoming. Access may be a bit challenging for anyone with mobility or stair climbing problems, but even for an older person such as I, the walk to/from the village was fine after the first time. The location is convenient for shops and restaurants , and very close to the railway station.

Suficiente, según estándares del pais
Casa de huéspedes. Alojamiento básico, según estándares del país.
Podrían mejorar un poco la habitación del baño.
El acceso en coche es difícil y estrecho en la última parte del camino. Recomiendo dejar el coche antes de la estación de policía.
Como cosas a favor:
Propietarios muy acogedores y serviciales.
Para pasar una o dos noches cumple si tu presupuesto es bajo.
La habitación estaba muy limpia.
Está a 5 minutos andando de la calle principal de Ella.
Está a 5 minutos andando de la Estación de tren.

Enkelt med superbra ägare
Ett enkelt familje ägt b&b ägaren är toppen & super hjälpsam. Tyvärr är det lite längre upp till höger än vad hotels utger. Men nära allt ändå.

UN OSTELLO DI LADRI!!
DELUSIONE TOTALE, DEI VERI E PROPRI TRUFFATORI!!!! ERA LA PRIMA VOLTA CHE PRENOTAVO SU HOTEL.COM E PENSAVO CHE I DATI DELLA CARTA VENISSERO CHIESTI SOLO COME GARANZIA, DATO CHE ALTRI SITI FUNZIONANO COSI, INVECE L'IMPORTO DEL PERNOTTAMENTO è STATO ADDEBITATO ED HO PAGATO UNA SECONDA VOLTA IN ALBERGO IN CONTANTI. I SIGNORI DELLA GUEST HOUSE SONO STATI DOPPIAMENTE SCORRETTI:
1) QUANDO HO CHIESTO IL CONTO NON MI HANNO AVVISATO DELL'AVVENUTO ADDEBITO SULLA CARTA E SI SONO INTASCATI L MIO PAGAMENTO IN CONTANTI
2) IL GIORNO SUCCESSIVO, QUANDO MI SONO ACCORTO DEL DOPPIO ADDEBITO, LI H CONTATTATI TRAMITE WHATS APP MA SI SONO RIFIUTATI DI CORRISPONDERMI IL SACROSANTO RIMBORSO , CAMPANDOMI UN SACCO DI SCUSE PUERILI..
INOLTRE, OLTRE AD VERMI RUBATO 26 EURO, MI HANNO PURE FATTO PAGARE DUE GIORNI DI AFFITTO PER UN MOTORINO CHE HO UTILIZZATO 26 ORE..
ESPERIENZA TOTALEMENTE NEGATIVA, EVITATELO!!!
CERTO CHE UN ALBERGATORE CHE PERDE LA FACCIA PER 26 EURO è MESSO PROPRIO MALE...

Enkelt boende, knappt prisvärt
Mycket enkel standard på boende och service. Fuktigt och badrum i dåligt skick. Dåliga sängkläder.
