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.

Un endroit au top et très bien placé. Tout est génial !
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.

Fajne miejsce do nocowania z przyjaciółmi.
Pros:

Bardzo fajne miejsce. Obok jest salon masażu oraz bar. Bardzo blisko do centrum. Nieopodal znajduje się piwny wiadukt kolejowy.

Cons:

Jeden domek, który zajmowaliśmy, nie posiadał okien, był „ślepy”.

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!

Jungle stay very close to Ella center
Pros:

You sleep with a jungle view in a quiet location, but still close to the center of Ella. The balcony, the breakfast, the welcoming and super nice hosts, the wooden room, everything was perfect. Would like to visit again.

Cons:

Please add a hairdresser so we can dry our clothes, since the humidity is high.

Jungle experience in the middle of Ella
Pros:

Quirky, rustic cabin on the side of the steep hill. Amazing outlook onto the “jungle”. Wildlife all around with birds & monkeys to watch all day. Felt like a being in a safari hut, especially with the wildlife noises at night.

The staff were fantastic. Helped with everything. There are only 3 cabins so no reception - everything is by WhatsApp which works perfectly.

Location is in the middle of Ella but up a big hill. Approaching it along the railway line is much easier than the steep hill walk.

Cons:

Nothing. It’s basic but lovely

Alles perfekt!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist eine Oase mitten im Dschungel. Super freundliches Personal!
Frühstück wird auf die Terrasse gebracht, super lecker!
Wir buchten eine Tour zum Ella Rock mit Ashen! Freundlicher und informativer geht es nicht! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Persone molto gentile, il Wi-Fi funzionava molto bene

Cons:

Struttura completamente immersa nella giungla ma comunque non ne vale la pena.

Un sitio con encanto y personal amabilísimo
Pros:

La ubicación, está muy bien situado en medio del bosque, lo que lo hace muy pintoresco y acogedor. El personal muy amable y eficaz, me equivoqué con la reserva y reservé para el día siguiente, en un momento me lo resolvieron y nos prepararon una habitación rápidamente. Fueron muy amables y atentos. Un desayuno buenísimo.
