Pros:

I had a very positive experience at the hotel; they went the extra mile in two ways: they took a bag of dirty clothes and sent it to the laundry for me and provided a free tuk-tuk service, both for free. Great breakfasts. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend it.

Cons:

Maybe it's at the top of a hill, you can either walk up a 300 steps stairs or take a tuk-tuk

Ci è piaciuto soggiornare li, la vista è da 10!
Pros:

la nostra camera era all’ultimo piano, aveva una vista su tutta Ella. La porta finestra che dava sul balcone è stata la cosa piu bella del soggiorno, svegliarsi con quella vista non ha prezzo.
Piscina molto bella che pero non abbiamo utilizzato. La sera le temperature scendono un po.
Bagno moderno e molto carino, c’era acqua calda!!
Location sopra la città raggiungibile in 10 min a piedi tramite una scalinata, faticosa ma molto comodo se non volete utilizzare la macchina

Cons:

la pulizia non è stata il massimo, non tanto nella camera ma quanto giu nella cucina.
un po lento il servizio colazione.
Wifi un po debole.

Great
Pros:

Lovely pool. Nice breakfast

Cons:

Some people might not like the walk into town. You can take the road but the short cut involves walking up some quite steep steps. Great holiday exercise! We loved it

Pros:

We verbleven in Idyll Cottage en hadden de bovenste kamer. Een prachtige, sfeervolle kamer met een mooie open nok en vooral een geweldig uitzicht.

We zijn door iedereen erg vriendelijk ontvangen en geholpen. De gastvrijheid merk je hier echt: ze denken graag met je mee en helpen waar nodig. Ook het ontbijt was iedere ochtend netjes en goed verzorgd. Een heel prettig verblijf!
