Ellie Stay

Ellie Stay Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Ellie Stay, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best travel experiences come from those unassuming spots that just get the fundamentals right, and this little gem absolutely delivers on that front.

What struck me immediately was how the staff actually seemed to care about making your stay comfortable, not just going through the motions. The check-in was smooth – none of that awkward waiting around while they figure out their computer system – and the front desk person gave me genuinely useful local recommendations without me even asking. The rooms themselves have this clean, minimalist vibe that feels intentional rather than cheap. I mean, you’re not getting marble bathrooms or anything fancy, but everything works properly (the shower has decent water pressure, thank god), and there’s actually enough space to unpack without living out of your suitcase. The bed was surprisingly comfortable too – I’m pretty picky about mattresses and I slept well every night.

What really won me over, though, were the little details that show someone’s paying attention. The Wi-Fi is actually fast enough to video chat without buffering every two seconds, there are plenty of outlets by the bed for charging your devices, and – this might sound silly but it matters – the blackout curtains actually block out light. Honestly, after staying at places where you wake up at sunrise whether you want to or not, proper curtains feel like luxury. The location works well for getting around, and while it’s not dead center in the tourist zone (which I actually prefer – less noise, better prices nearby), you’re not stranded in some random suburb either. Parking was straightforward when I had a rental car, which can be a real headache at some places. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the walls aren’t super thick, so if you get stuck next to party guests it might get a bit noisy, but that’s pretty standard for this price range. What’s not standard is getting a 9.0 rating from guests, and after staying there, I totally get why people keep coming back and recommending it to others. It’s one of those places that just works – no drama, no unpleasant surprises, just solid hospitality that makes you feel like you made a smart choice.

Reviews of Ellie Stay

• Lynette from Malaysia (9/10)

  Owner is very helpful and always replies quickly whenever I have questions to her. Even though she has all the things listed down in the apartment, but she will repeat telling me when I ask her. Comfy apartment, can fit more than 4 pax if a family to spend time here. Very near to the Botanic Garden, we had great time walking to there everyday.

• Irina from France (9/10)

  Appartement rénové et très propre, proche d'une station de métro.
  Parfait pour accéder à l'aéroport même si un peu loin des quartiers centraux. Prevoir 40 min à 1h 15 de trajet jusqu'aux sites d'intérêt.
  Propriétaire très réactif et serviable.
