    Spotless, modern, comfortable and cozy room. Loved the bed. The location is perfect: a short walk up the hill, very close to the main street. Great windows and outside access. Plus, having a fridge, cups, utensils, and a kettle was a nice bonus....

    This was a nice, affordable accommodation in Ella. It's a walk up a hill from the main road so it was quiet. The room is large and clean. The host was responsive and offered cleaning service while we stayed. Would recommend.
