Everything about this hotel made us go "wow"! Not just the absolutely fantastic view over the valley below, but also the super large room with very comfy bed, enormous balcony with seating and small table, and fabulous food (breakfast and evening meals) with great service in the restaurant. As others have mentioned, the hotel is up a very steep, long and meandering, hill which we chose not to walk but tuk tuks are cheap and easily 'fly' up and down for access to the main street in Ella. If there is a slight ******, it is that the shower/wet-room floor can get very slippery when using the shower... and I managed to walk straight into one of the glass doors that are (normally) open to the patio! So just take heed...
