Shocking accommodation, old, tired and a huge very very steep driveway, with no hand rails or help. No facilities, no restaurant, no toiletries, and had to turn tap in to turn off. Only saving grace was the staff were lovely!

The hotel was clean and the rooms were great. The only drawback is the steep climb to the hotel.it is in the center of town and you can walk to restaurants, shopping and bars. The chef made food packages to take on the train trip- which was lovely.

Hotel is in a great location in main street of Ella but only if you can walk up extremely steep driveway from the street. Staff friendly and helpful, great breakfast, but hotel could do with a couple of of improvements. A small fridge with tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer in room, new bedding, including sheets and pillows, more than one towel each.

Staffs are very rude. They said they gonna help with the luggages then they left a bag on the whole way. And they demanded to pay 8000 rupees in cash to stay. We paid because we were tired and didn’t wanna go and look for an another hotel

Acconodations

Clean, basic accommodations, friendly staff, not much English , wifi in lobby works fine but wifi in room is pretty much non existent it’s super slow. Never could get it to work enough to even check my email. The walk up the driveway is super steep and very dangerous particularly when wet outside. Even for hiking standards, there is very little grip to be had on walking surface. It is quite lengthy also. We stayed a few hours. Restaurant was closed. No amenities to speak of. We stayed in the “luxury room with AC” on top floor. Nice and relatively quiet considering the little town is quite the party atmosphere.

Would be a totally decent place if they provided mosquito nets. Nothing quite like getting chewed up all night when you need a good night's rest. Everything else about the place is nice and passable.

Spacious, clean, friendly with great location

Great place! Spacious room with an amazing balcony overlooking the green mountains. Just like living in a picture! Very clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast, very diverse and tasty. Great location: main street below where you can find good restaurants, bars and shops. But as the place is higher than the street - it is also very quiet. Only point to consider: you have to climb from the street in order to get to the hotel. But was not an issue for us especially compared to all activities in this hill country.

Good location in centre of town

We weren't really in the hotel long enough, or in the right season to make a full review. we only stayed 1 night and ate out, but from what we did experience, the staff were friendly, and the room served its purpose as a place to sleep. we were lucky in getting a room on the very top floor that gave us an amazing view out over the town and surrounding valley.

Bon endroit !

Nous avons passé deux bonnes nuits dans cet Hôtel. Des chambres propres, soignées et très spacieuses et avec balcon. l'accès à l'hotel est très pentu. A quelques dizaines de mettres du coeur actif de la ville une demi heure de marche du sentier qui mene au sommet du Little Adams peak. L'acceuil est trés sympathique.
