Posizione strategica per visitare Ella
Pros:

La posizione è comodissima, con i binari si raggiunge il centro in pochi minuti. La struttura poi è in un punto molto tranquillo.

Cons:

Qualche difficoltà di comunicazione con il proprietario

Great location
Pros:

The location of this property was fantastic. It was close to the town and right beside the train line, which we loved.
The staff were friendly, and the lady did our laundry for us for a small fee, which was returned nicely folded.

Cons:

Unfortunately the bed wasn't the most comfortable for us.

Unglaubliche Aussicht für einen guten Preis mit Abstrichen bei der Sauberkeit
Pros:

Die Lage und der Ausblick sind unglaublich, das kostenlose Frühstück ist auch sehr gut, das Bett war sauber.

Cons:

Das Bad war leider nicht sauber, der Tisch wurde vor dem Frühstück oder nach dem Frühstück nicht gewischt. Insgesamt für die Preisklasse durchaus okay, aber dann verstehe ich die positiven Bewertungen hier nicht über die besondere Sauberkeit. Es tut mir wirklich leid, aber es gibt bessere Homestays.

Parfait
Pros:

Un des meilleurs hôtels que nous ayons faits ! La vue est tout simplement à couper le souffle, et elle est vraiment fidèle aux photos. La chambre était propre, le lit très confortable, avec de l’eau chaude rien à redire.

Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse le matin, avec la vue sur les montagnes et les rails de train, est juste magique. La famille qui nous accueille est extrêmement gentille et attentionnée.

Petit plus : nous avons pu louer un scooter directement sur place pour explorer les alentours d’Ella, ce qui est super pratique

Je recommande cet hôtel à 100% ! Mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner, copieux et parfaitement équilibré. On a tellement aimé qu’on a prolongé notre séjour d’une nuit.

Cons:

Rien

Chambre avec une vue incroyable
Pros:

L’emplacement loin de l’agitation et du bruit de la grande rue (mais tout reste très accessible à 5/10 min à pieds), la vue incroyable sur les montagnes et sur les rails (le train ne passant que 3/4 fois par jour, cela ne cause aucune gêne), excellent rapport qualité / prix pour cette chambre chez l’habitant

Cons:

Salle de bain dans son jus, moustiquaire un peu usée

Really lovely homestay!
Pros:

It is a lovely family property directly opposite the train tracks just up from Ella train station and if you time it right you can enjoy breakfast as the train comes right past! There is also a path alongside the tracks which gives you a flat 5 minute walk into Ella’s centre

A characterful and quirky stay by the railway track
Pros:

We loved being right beside the railway track and it was exhilarating to see the 4 trains a day pass so close to our bedroom! And it was only 5 minutes walk along the railway track into the busy town of Ella.
Additional highlights were Dannu’s breakfasts and helpfulness, and the coffee made from the owner’s home-grown coffee beans.

Cons:

Not an easy approach for cars.

Lovely view
Pros:

Was very close to everything and could walk everywhere. Right next to the train tracks, on which you walk everywhere and is quiet with a lovely view over the mountains as the sun sets. Breakfast was fabulous!
