10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at Alta Vista as it was in the centre of Ella, close to restaurants & shops. As mentioned before it is a very steep driveway but tuktuks are able to take you to the front door We enjoyed the great pool & it had a beautiful vegetable garden to view & watch its progress. The foom was spacious, great beds & shower. Highly recommended 👌

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.

Friendly place in Ella

We just stayed for 1 night. We enjoyed it. The room was spacious and we slept very well. The manager was friendly and helpful and we liked the breakfast with a lot of fruits. 100 meters downhill from the hotel was the main street with shops and restaurants. The famous Chill Out Cafe restaurant was very close. We want to recommend the hotel.

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.

Nice hotel but be aware there is an MASSIVE 300 metre hill that is very very steep to get to the entrance. Do not go here if you are old, have bad knees or are not very physically fit. On top of this, there are 8 floors and no lift, so many many stairs. This is the only issue we had, other than that a great place to say and dead central in ella.

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!

2/10 Poor

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

Flot, flot hotel med sublim god personale og ejer. Vi nød især den dejlige pool, som ligger virkelig flot. Værelserne er store og badeværelset godt. Vi ankom sendt på ankomstdagen og poolen skulle til at lukke. Men for vores skyld, kunne vi sagtens hoppe i og få en dejlig aften køler ;-) Eneste minus er bakken. Det ligger på toppen af en stejl, stejl bakke. Puha. Men omvendt set, gjorde det, at alt larmen fra hovedgaden forsvandt.

L’hôtel très bien situé! La chambre ne vaut pas la peine d’être loué! Peu d’eau chaude, télévision ne fonctionne pas,! Ça vaut pas plus de 40-50$ la nuit! pas plus! Je déconseille fortement!

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.

Great stay event better hodts

It might not look like much, but we had a good time staying. Close to the main street but up a hill so the parties didn't bother. Room was clean and the bed was good. What made the stay a joy in particular was the great breakfast and the absolute friendliness and kindness of the owners. Definitely recommended.

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.

Great location with views of the town. Comfy beds and large rooms! Big outside patio area which was great to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks. Walk up the hill to the hotel is fine. Great water pressure in yhe shower.

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.
