Pros:

Posizione eccezionale, in pieno centro, ma in una via un po' più silenziosa. La proprietaria e lo staff gentilissimi e disponibili. La colazione al tavolo ottima e abbondante. Finalmente una vera doccia calda!

Great central place to stay in Ella
Pros:

Lovely room, comfy beds, great bathroom, friendly staff! Amazing location right in the centre of Ella!

Cons:

Our room was right next to a restaurant and the door to the balcony was not sealed so we could hear everything and it kept us up late. There was also no aircon and only a small standing fan was provided so it was a bit warm

Dispiace perché il personale è gentile ma è sta to il peggior hotel del nostro soggiorno in Sri Lanka, in termini di con
Pros:

Posizione molto comoda perché in centro.
Uno dei ragazzi della famiglia veramente molto accogliente e disponibile.

Cons:

Condizioni della struttura pessime sia fuori che dentro la stanza. Acqua gialla terribile che usciva fuori dal lavandino del bagno.
Finestra tutta a vetro che faceva passare tutto il rumore e la luce, rendendo veramente difficile dormire. Essendo molto centrale come posizione, sembrava di dormi in mezzo a macchine e tuk tuk.
Animali che entrano da ogni parte, non essendoci una vera e propria chiusura delle finestre.

מאוד נעים להתארח פה, הייתי חוזר שוב.
Pros:

הצוות משפחתי חייכן ונעים, זמינים לכל דבר ועוזרים בשמחה רבה. המיקום מעולה ובמרחק הליכה קצר מאוד לרחוב הראשי. בנוסף, ארוחות הבוקר מעולות, החדרים מאוד מרווחים ועם מים חמים במקלחת.

Cons:

יש בנייה ממש על המלון- לא מאוד מפריע מבחינת הרעש כי רוב היום נמצאים מחוץ למלון. אבל כן יש פועלי בניין מולך במרפסת. כנראה שזה החסרון היחיד אבל לי זה לא מאוד הפריע.

Great service, big rooms, easy access to the main city and excellent value for money!
Pros:

This is my second stay at Ella Odyssey for a cycling race. They were very accommodating the first time around and they didn't disappoint this time either. Excellent staff who helped us with carrying all of our equipment for the race and they were up at 5am to see us off. Will be staying their next time as well.

Cons:

What's not to like for an amazing price and excellent room sizes. They have everything you need for the money you are spending.
