7.6 out of 10, Good, (19 reviews)
"This hotel is adorable with charming rooms and fantastic views. Ella is a developing area so don't expect a 4/5 resort, but more of a cute basic botique hotel feel. It's up a steep hill, but you can walk down and catch a tuk tuk into town that takes only a few minutes."

"The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable and clean. The carpets and bathrooms were not as clean. The showers were unreliable, with low water pressure and unreliable heat. The staff were not hospitable or conscientious and the hotel listings we’re confusing. No food is available from the hotel. Overall the space had a dreary colonial vibe."
