Schön aber laut
Pros:

Habe das Hotel wegen der Aussicht gebucht und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Sehr schönes Zimmer, relativ sauber und habe mich wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind extrem hellhörig, ich fühlte mich als würde ich mit den Besitzern und den zwei Zimmern neben mir wohnen. Man hört alles, wirklich alles.

Pros:

Это лучший отель в Элла. Перед тем, как приехать в этот отель, мы видели 6 отелей в Элла. Этот отель лучший выбор! Великолепный вид с балкона, работает вообще всё и хорошо. Персонал молодой, вежливый. Это точно находка для нас👍
Если немного пройти по улице вверх, то можно пообедать и купить всяких вкусняшек!

Pros:

Great view from the balcony. Far away from Ella's noises (only 5 minutes tuktuk ride!). Very cozy place, very clean. The staff was really nice: they helped us with the bus timetable and let us have breakfast on the balcony. There Is AC and mosquito protection nets.
