great, authentic and affordable place to be in Ella
Pros:

the fact that the hostel looks like a big three house. the terrace on top with the view on the mountain is so nice, definitely worth for the price. the owner is a sweet man who makes a large breakfast in the morning. We were a group of people and we were all happy to be there!

Cons:

sometimes you could smell something trashy in the air, coming up with the wind from some place near by. Nobody’s fault, but you must know. rather than that, the experience in this hostel was great.

Pros:

Preis - Leistungsverhältniss war Bombastisch! Inklusive Frühstück und direkt in Ella …berühmte Wanderungen können direkt vom Hostel aus gemacht werden.

Cons:

Leider war in den Zimmern weder ein Ventilator noch eine Klimaanlage - wir haben einfach die Tür in der Nacht offen gelassen, war dann auch gut aushaltbar. Aus unserem badezimmer hat es etwas gestunken aber bei dem Preis konnten wir darüber hinweg sehen.

Pros:

Het ontbijt was heerlijk uitgebreid! Altijd wat vers feuit en een gebakken ei, wat geroosterd brood en iets zoets erbij. En uiteraard een potje thee :)
En de host was een hele vriendelijke man.

Cons:

Ik had op basis van de foto's meer hangmatten verwacht, maar er was er maar één. Alsnog heerlijk :)
Verder was de host af en toe wat lastig te vinden omdat hij zelf in het huis onder het hostel woont met zijn gezin, maar hij was daardoor ook wel altijd in de buurt.

Pros:

The treehouse's top-floor café is fantastic with some truly spectacular views. I loved the breakfast—it was really good and super filling. A huge bonus is the kitchen with a stove that you’re allowed to use. On top of that, the Wi-Fi was pretty fast and reliable.

Cons:

The downside is the noise. Since everything is made of wood, you hear everything from outside. When someone walks on the floor above, the whole ceiling echoes and rumbles.
