The Residence Ella

This hotel is an absolute gem! Tucked away in a lovely garden hideout, it's just a short walk to amazing spots like the Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adam's Peak. the rooms are spacious with great balconies perfect for enjoying breakfast, and the food is a delicious mix of Western and local dishes. the staff here go above and beyond. I especially loved our cozy breakfasts surrounded by greenery and sweet birdsong.

One thing that could be better is the shower – it took a bit to heat up, but that's just a tiny detail. we noticed a bit of fungus on the ceiling, though the host was already on top of it and offered us an alternative room.

Absolutely great, trendy boutique property. A huge variety of excellent food. Budget units with very nice bathroom as well as the garden view, and helpful staff. The location magnificent very close to everything. Based right by the restaurants, the main sightseeing places and restaurants and banks nearby, and the nice garden.

The breakfast had plenty of outstanding food and drinks.

Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
