Райский вид из окна
Pros:

Мой любимый отель в Элле
За такой вид из номера можно заплатить немалые деньги, но отель много не берет))
Вкусный завтрак, доброжелательный персонал

Pros:

Отличный небольшой отель с видом на водопад и чайные плантации.

→ Рядом есть несколько ресторанов, где можно поужинать.
→ Утром сервируют прекрасный сытный завтрак с вкуснейшими местными блинчиками и фруктами. Позавтракать можно на балконе под шум водопада и пение птиц.
→ Доехать до центра не составило большого труда - рядом дежурят водители тук-туков, которые за нормальную цену довезут туда и обратно (но будьте осторожны, некоторые заламывают цену, поэтому лучше не соглашаться на первый попавшийся, но это к самому отелю никак не относится).
→ Горячая вода была всегда.

Cons:

В номере на стенах, действительно, местами есть пятна, как отмечалось в некоторых других отзывах. Это, конечно, портит немного впечатления, но в целом в номере достаточно чисто.

Beautiful spot, great views but quite basic
Pros:

The views were incredible and the staff friendly

Cons:

There was no fridge in the rooms or available elsewhere so you could not get cool water. Also we had to pay in cash which was not made clear to us on checking in. There are also a lot of steep steps which should be highlighted

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

Visuale bellissima, rapporto qualità prezzo, colazione ottima e abbondante, posizione in zona silenziosa, non vicina al centro, è necessario spostarsi con un mezzo
Ci sono stata solo una notte, troppo poco tempo per esprimere giudizi più completi

Cons:

Struttura un po’ da rinnovare

Mega Aussicht vom Balkon auf die Berge & Wasserfall, sauber & empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Der Ausblick von unserem Balkon war extrem schön & man hatte einen Mega schönen Blick auf den Wasserfall. Das Zimmer war sauber. Der Inhaber war so lieb, interessiert und haben uns immer weiter geholfen und hat uns zum Abschied, weil es für uns nachts schon weiter ging, zwei Flaschen Wasser und Bananen mitgegeben. Die City konnte man fußläufig erreichen und wir würden die Unterkunft wieder buchen. Die Unterkunft ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!!

Pros:

The balcony had an unbeatable breathtaking view. The room had all the amenities. The breakfast was fulfilling. Had a wonderful two nights stay. Host Kumar was a very positive, cordial and hardworking guy. There are a few restaurants and a convenience shop nearby. Ella town is just 7-8 min (500 LKR) tuktuk ride or 15-20 mins downhill walk away.

Cons:

The shower may be enclosed with a curtain to keep the bathroom floor from entirely getting wet.
