Stayed in one of the cabins which had a nice view of the trees and mountain, saw lots of monkeys in the trees. Pool was a short walk from the room and peaceful with nice views. Staff were all very helpful making sure we were comfortable. Wifi connection in cabin not great but good connection at restaurant.

I stayed just one night at Ella Crest by Aloft and had a very good experience. The hotel is in a peaceful location with beautiful views, which made my short stay relaxing. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed for a night’s stay. Breakfast was fresh and enjoyable, and the service was excellent. For anyone visiting Ella, I think this is a nice place to spend a night or more — quiet, comfortable, and with very helpful staff.

I had the pleasure of staying one night at Ella Crest by Aloft Hotel, and it was a truly delightful experience from start to finish. The property is located in a serene spot with breathtaking views of Ella's lush hills and misty landscapes. Even though my stay was short, the peaceful setting immediately made me feel relaxed. The building is modern yet blends beautifully with the natural surroundings, giving it both comfort and charm. My room was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The bed was very comfortable, and the amenities provided were more than enough for a comfortable stay. The attention to cleanliness and detail was evident throughout the property. What stood out the most was the hospitality. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with genuine smiles. Their professionalism and friendliness made the experience feel personalized and special. The food was also excellent, with fresh and flavorful options that exceeded my expectations for a boutique-style property. Although I only stayed for one night, it was a memorable visit, and I would highly recommend Ella Crest by Aloft Hotel to anyone visiting Ella — whether for a short getaway or a longer holiday. I'm already looking forward to returning in the future for a longer stay!
