Chandra, India

Location is just off the Main Street in Ella. The owners are a lovely family who are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast that was included in the price was great, especially the banana pancakes. Set in a really pretty garden also.

Jordan, United Kingdom

Very kind and friendly personnel! I would recommend to everyone. Good location for hiking, near to train and bus station.

Vid, Slovenia

The location and the view were amazing. The owner and the girls working there were very pleasant and fun to talk to. They're very friendly and ask about your day and health passionately. I love the cultural exchange that happens in the conversations with each one of them. It's easy to share what you feel about the country and they never hesitate to help with anything you want such as directions, advice, where to go, how to go there, what take care of and who to trust. I really wish I could've stayed longer.

Ahmed, Egypt

Sooda was a fabulous host. She does make the best pancakes and served afternoon tea on the front verandah. Awesome view and right next to a tea plantation. Super close to the railway station and town. Thank you Sooda and family. Jocelyn

The owner was really really nice, breakfast was amazing, so so good! We also had dinner and it was incredible. She is really looking after her guests and making sure that everything is perfect. The location is really close to the station and you have a nice view. The dogs and the cats are so nice!

Stephanie, United Kingdom

The two dogs - chubbly and bubbly. Great breakfast. Conveniently located only a short walk to the main town and railway station. Nice terrace to have breakfasts or a drink on.
