I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room was magnificent with a very high ceiling, a lovely comfy super king four-poster bed, sofa area, and a very large bathroom, complete with a bath jacuzzi that added a nice touch. However, being on the second floor made it a bit pricey, and the room on the ground floor was a bit dark. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The location was good, not right in the middle of the busy traffic but still convenient to reach popular spots. The dining experience was simple but tasty, and the facilities were great overall.

My stay at Ellen's Place was truly delightful. The rooms were wonderfully spacious and well-equipped, though not overly luxurious. The service provided by the staff, especially Sadhu, was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist me. The location, while slightly removed from the central hub, was perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring. Dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities offered added to the overall experience.

The service was top-notch, from being warmly welcomed with drinks to getting assistance with organizing early morning transportation. The location was ideal, slightly out of the city center but close to key attractions. The dining options were satisfactory, although some improvements could be made. Overall, it was a great value for a memorable experience.
