Nice and quiet stay at unique location!
Pros:

Nice room at a remote location next to the train tracks. A small walk back to the city centre. Bring some lights if you walk back at night. Beds are comfy and the hosts are really nice and friendly. It is a fun experience when the famous train passes by next to your porch.

Cons:

They do not speak English really well, but still can help you out!

Un véritable havre de paix au milieu des montagnes
Pros:

L’emplacement et la vue magnifique. À 5 minutes à pied du centre ville, nous avons pris aucun taxi ou tuktuk pendant nos 3 jours à Ella, tout est faisable à pied si on aime un peu marcher ! Little Adams peak, Nine arches bridge, Ella rock, supermarchés, bar/café et restaurant, gare …
L’accueil est sympathique, on se sent comme à la maison. Lieu très calme et reposant

Cons:

Rien

Pros:

Super séjour a Happy View, hôtes très gentils et arrangeants (service de lessive et transport en Tuk Tuk proposés sur place). Emplacement idéal a 5 min a pied du centre ville, les rails passent littéralement devant le logement, magique.

Pros:

Owners are very welcoming and warm-hearted. As mentioned before, the location is very convenient, and it takes about 5 minutes to reach the center by tuk-tuk along the train road.

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.
