Close to the heart of Ella
Pros:

Great location right in the heart of Ella. Mountain views and beautiful rooms made staying here a delight. Staff friendly and helpful. Cocktails were amazing while looking out over sensational view.

Cons:

Only thing was the shuttle up and down to the hotel finished quite early at 6pm. But you can walk up the hill with an average level of fitness.

amazing. I have been before and will come back!
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful. the view is amazing. everything was extremely clean. I especially love the incense they burn it smells amazing. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Cons:

One thing that people need to consider is that the hotel is up a very steep hill. the hotel provides a shuttle until 18:00. Tuktuks refuse and some times physically cannot get up the hill. especially if its raining r there are several passengers.

Superb view.
Pros:

The place is beautiful with an amazing view the stuff was really kind and helpful. Good choice of food in the morning. Very beautiful views from the balcony in the bedroom and the restaurant and pull.

Cons:

The hotel is located on a steep hill that the Tuk Tuk drivers are unable to climb all the way and the hotel shuttle service is only available until 18:00 , this made it a bit difficult with the children
( I wouldn't recommend it with young children)

The bathroom does not have event or a window that one may open which gives it a very damp smell.
By our third night the smell became really too much to handle...

מלון מקסים אם לוקחים בחשבון את המיקום הגבוה
Pros:

הצוות שירותי באופן מיוחד, אציין לטובה את פרדיפ מהקבלה שנתן לנו שירות מעל ומעבר, דאג לשידרוג החדר וצייד אותנו בארוחת בוקר כשיצאנו לטיול מוקדם( ביוזמתו) . החדרים יפים, מרווחים ומאובזרים, הנוף מדהים

Cons:

החיסרון המרכזי ואולי היחיד הוא המיקום, אמנם גבוה ולא בתוך המולת העיר אבל הגישה אליו מאתגרת מאוד ( עליה תלולה במיוחד) והשאטל של המלון פעיל רק עד שש בערב. ניתן להגיע עם טוקטוק אך כרוך בתשלום.

Pros:

החדרים נחמדים , יש בריכה נחמדה על הגג
נוף יפה , הצוות אדיב וקשוב

Cons:

זרם חלש במקלחת
חשוב לדעת שהמלון ממוקם בנקודה הכי גבוהה על ההר שירות ההסעה מהמלון למטה והפוך מסתיימים בשעה שש בערב , לאחר מכן אפשר להזמין טוקטוק בעלות של 2 יורו ובודדים מוכנים לעלות את ההר עם הטוקטוק וגם מי שהסכים נתקע באמצע, אפשרי לעלות ברגל אבל מאד מאתגר

Luxe plek in Ella
Pros:

Prachtig uitzicht op de kamer, professioneel hotel misschien tikje formeel, maar heel comfortabel om te verblijven. Personeel is behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Decent stay with good view, but overpriced.
Pros:

The rooms were clean, the view from balcony was good especially on a foggy day after a little rain. Service was prompt. Staff were courteous. Its pretty close by to the main market and restaurant area.

Cons:

Location is a slight miss. Its uphill and no transport is available if you plan to be out late in the night. Most autos refuse to come up till there due to the climb. Its a 5-7 min walk uphill and can be done easily, however safety may be a slight concern in the dark esp cos there are no lights. To be fair, they have complimentary auto available till 6 pm in the evening and we did not face any unwarranted safety issues for the two nights we walked up post dinner after 10/11pm. Found the hotel a bit expensive, it has 5 star level prices, but the rooms are not spacious and the breakfast is average at best. The breakfast does not give you a 4/5 star feeling.

If you are out late at night, no staff is available at reception or anywhere. However, they do give you a number to call and someone attends to your needs asap.

Pros:

צוות מאד שירותי ואדיב, חדרים מרווחים ונעימים, ארוחת בוקר טובה, נוף מהמם.

Cons:

הבריכה קרה ונמצאת על הגג עם רוחות, לא פרקטית. המיקום קרוב למרכז העניינים אבל המלון בראש גבעה תלולה שדורשת שאטל 4×4 שלא תמיד זמין.
יש באלה הרבה הפסקות חשמל.

Pros:

Excellent service from the staff, very kind and helpful. Facilities were great. View from the restaurant and pool outstanding. Very clean and spacious rooms.

Cons:

The location up on the mountain meant it was a steep walk to and from the town, however, there is a free shuttle until 6pm.

Amazing stay
Pros:

Amazing pool, friendly staff, great facilities. Good dinner options and a great breakfast buffet.

Walking distance from main city, the hotel is at the top of a hill, but they had a free driving service when the legs were tired after a long hike.

The proporty is located on a very steep (I repeat: very steep) hill.
Pros:

Friendly staff, great view, clean, good breakfast, nice (but cold) pool, the beds (new matrass?)

Cons:

The proporty is located on a very steep (I repeat: very steep) hill. Tuk-tuk drivers consistenly refuse the trip to the hotel at night. Be prepared to walk at evenings and night. No lightning on the path. Young and old, it is challenging. We underestimated the reviews that mentioned this. For this reason, I wouldn’t come back here.
