    The room is very cute, everything very well thought, clean and made us few very welcome. Location is great, 3 minute walk to Ella main road yet distant enough for a silent night.

    The room was small but comfortable. The location is fantastic, really close to both the station and the main street so there's no need for transportation whilst in town which was great when there was a lot of people trying to get out of the train...
