Good
Pros:

We had an unforgettable stay at Kithaya Ella. The Room with Balcony was spacious, spotless, and the view of Ella’s mountains from the balcony took our breath away every morning. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home especially with our kids. It’s peaceful, beautifully located, and the perfect base to explore Ella town. If you’re looking for comfort, calm, and genuine hospitality in the hills, Kithaya Ella is the place. We’ll be back!

Great Place to stay for hiking
Pros:

This is an exceptional place to stay while hiking the Pekoe Trail! The balcony in the misty morning is beautiful. I got a couple fresh water leeches while hiking and the owner helped me remove them and stop the bleeding.

Cons:

The rooms are dated and there are not many places to dry wet clothing.

Pros:

Комната была отличная, хоть и вход в санузел был в коридоре. В номере было чисто, полотенца, вода, чай, чайник электрический, кружки.
Чтобы доехать от автобусной остановки до отеля на тук туке нужно заплатить 1500 рупий.
Администратор отзывчивый.
Очень удобное расположение к горе Элла Рок.

Pros:

I had a truly wonderful experience staying at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The check-in process was smooth and quick, which made the start of my stay very comfortable.

The room was spotless, spacious, and very well maintained. I especially appreciated the comfortable bed, the beautiful interior design, and the peaceful atmosphere that allowed me to relax completely. The housekeeping team did an excellent job every day, making sure everything was clean and organized.

The hotel facilities were also impressive. The environment was calm, safe, and perfect for both relaxing and enjoying a vacation. The food was delicious with a good variety of options, and the dining area had a very pleasant ambiance.

What stood out the most was the hospitality. Every staff member I met was friendly, polite, and genuinely cared about making guests feel welcome. Their service truly made the stay memorable.

Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely love to come back again in the future.

Super liebes Personal. Scooter und Tuktuk wurden vor die Haustüre geliefert. Probleme wurden noch vor der Entstehung gelöst. Frühstück war sehr lecker.

Cons:

Unterkunft ist etwas weiter weg. Ein Scooter lohnt sich.
