Pros:

A vista do quarto.

Cons:

A wi-fi é péssima. Precisei realizar reuniões de trabalho e simplesmente não funcionou. A estadia somente aceitou pagamento em dinheiro, visto que a máquina de cartão estava quebrada. Quase não existe privacidade nos quartos, que são quase colados à recepção. A manutenção do espaço também precisa melhorar; a recepção tinha um cheiro ruim. A água quente do chuveiro também é ruim, com pouca vazão e água quase fria.

Overall nice hotel. Value for money.
Pros:

We had a beautiful view from our room. The room was spacious enough and clean. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was descent. Hot water was available in the bathroom. Breakfast was nothing grand but descent and sufficient. Value for money. Overall we had a good stay.

Cons:

The location of the hotel is a bit out of the way. It is situated up on a hill. The road going up to the hotel from the main road is steep and narrow and then it takes an acute angle and runs steep down. Our 6 seater Van (the transport we used to travel across Sri lanka) driver refused to drive up this road - saying it was too risky. So we had to take a TUK-TUK to reach our hotel from the main road and another TUK-TUK brought our luggage up to the hotel. I think this was the only down side of this hotel, otherwise everything else was good.

Nice room and view but more cleaning would be good
Pros:

Great view. Location was quite good. Mini fridge for cooling drinks was useful. Decent for the price.

Cons:

Overall the room could have done with a little more cleaning as we found a lot of dead bugs when we arrived. We also kept finding some bugs throughout our stay (presumably that were getting through the cracks in the walls/tiles). Room could include more furniture like bedside tables or wardrobe.

Nice stay in Ella
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay there. The view from the room is amazing. The room was equipped with everything we needed and the staff was kind and helpful! The hotel is on a hill, but it is accessible by tuktuks or cars. We would stay there again.

Cons:

Low water pressure in the shower

Great views from room and a comfortable stay
Pros:

Fantastic views, great staff , nice quiet location up a hill to get to accommodation but that normal for Ella.
A nice light airy room with a comfortable bed and good hot shower and kettle to make a cuppa in the morning , it was great to sit on the large balcony to see views of Ella rock

Cons:

Nothing except a couple of bedside tables would add to room

Bra boende!
Pros:

Det var superfin utsikt. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal.

Cons:

Detta var inga problem för oss som är unga men det är en ganska brant backe upp till boendet. Vi blev erbjudna frukost men fick inte veta att det kostade förrän efter att vi hade ätit. Den var bra, men vi hade önskat att veta att det inte var inkluderat innan det erbjöds, för då hade vi nog inte ätit den.
