“Nice place but unprofessional staff”
+Comfortable beds, cleanliness, hot shower and good location
−The place is nice, but it’s not very social and there’s a lot of noise literally next door, as they’re building the hostel’s cafe. Mostly, I didn’t like some things with the people managing it. When I arrived, I asked if it was possible to pay with card and the guy at the reception told me no, to then just later finding out that it was indeed possible. Then I did laundry here two times and the first one it came back very very humid; I wrongfully decided to give it a second chance and only right before the checkout I was returned my clothes extremely wet and smelling bad (I’m sure they’ve not been washed in a washing machine and had to have them washed again at another place). When I pointed it out, I was told that this was because the day before there was a power cut. The hostel has a working generator, but even if the problem was really about the power cut, this happened the day before and they should have return my clothes when realizing it was not possible to wash and dry them, or AT LEAST returning my money. Instead they took the money, didn’t wash the clothes and laughed at my face. I found it very disturbing and disrespectful. Ultimately, they ask you at what time you want br

“Ella's great accommodation”
+I really enjoyed my stay at Lounge Hostel! The facilities were great, with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and plenty of clean bathrooms. Breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus. The staff were fantastic, always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The location is excellent: close to the main street but far enough away to enjoy a quiet stay. There’s also a supermarket and a train station nearby, making it very convenient for getting around. I felt very comfortable throughout my stay and would happily recommend this place to other travelers!
−Since it was low season, the hostel was pretty quiet, with not many guests around. This made it a little harder to meet and connect with other solo travelers. However, this was more about the timing than the hostel itself, and I still really enjoyed my stay!

“Nice for a short stay in Ella”
+It's a nice and affordable stay in Ella, close enough to the center but not too close to be bothered by the noise. Clean bathrooms and nice breakfast!
−While the rooms are private, the walls don't reach the ceiling, so you can hear the noise and see the lights from other rooms. It made it a bit hard to sleep, so it's okay for a short stay, but I couldn't have stayed longer
