Amazing jungle experience in central Ella
Pros:

Amazing location!! Right amongst the nature but close to Ella town and some great restaurants.
Facilities were great considering the remote location - comfortable bed and hot shower. Hosts were very attentive and organised breakfast and laundry.

Cons:

Only one plug socket so bring adaptor.
Monkeys can be overwhelming.

Pros:

What a special place! It’s a luxury to sit on the terrace and enjoy breakfast watching the wild life, monkeys, birds, deers in the jungle

The lodge/wooden structures are really nicely made: charming, spacious and comfortable. You hear the outside, be it the restaurant playing music or the frogs making sound. For us it was perfect as it offers an immersive experience in nature and is also close to everything. The service was top and we were really well taken care of.

Pros:

Un endroit au top et très bien placé. Tout est génial ! Ashen est un hôte formidable et de très bon conseil. Le matin, voir les singes est juste exceptionnel. Nous avons même prolongé notre séjour pour 3 nuits.

Prachtig verblijf bij centrum Ella
Pros:

Super lieve mensen en een prachtig uitzicht! Toen we aankwamen zagen we gelijk wat apen zitten :)
Het treinspoor is 50 meter lopen.
Het ontbijt op ons balkon maakte het verblijf compleet.

Pros:

Romantisch gelegen en leuke toegang tot de kamer. Mooi balkon. Leuke, natuurlijke inrichting met veel hout. In avond/nacht en vroege ochtend veel natuurgeluiden. Toch dicht bij het centrum en station. Goede warme douche Bovenal zeer fijn en vriendelijk hotelpersoneel.

Cons:

Af en toe housemuziek van het naastgelegen restaurant. Gewekt worden door n familie apen om 6 uur in de ochtend.

Pros:

Pretty big room and clean. Easy communication with the staff who were very helpful.

Cons:

Much noise from nearby restaurants (well past 12pm). Metal roof with monkeys passing over it constantly which makes for a bit of a scary experience. We weren’t able to have breakfast outside due to all the monkeys vigilantly watching.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das Service-Team – die Mitarbeiter waren mehr als super, unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Man hat sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen gefühlt.

Die Zimmer waren sehr gemütlich und sauber, sodass man sich richtig entspannen konnte. Auch das Frühstück war hervorragend – große Auswahl, frisch und sehr lecker.

Die Landschaft rund um das Hotel ist wunderschön und lädt zum Genießen ein. Ein absolutes Highlight war der Balkon – die Affen in der Umgebung zu beobachten war einfach sensationell und ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

Auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war wirklich gut. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen!
