    I loved my stay here - nestled next to a tea plantation and close to main attractions. The breakfast was a great spread of basics and the place was really clean. The beds were comfy and each of the rooms had a keycard access! The balcony and common area downstairs was a super cosy hangout place to meet everyone, including the sweet hostel dogs. I’d just note it’s located a little bit out of town - an easy walk during the day but I only felt safe taking a tuk tuk back at night after being in town with friends.

    It was nice hostel. I loved my stay there. It was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was super good. The host was so helpful & friendly. Main attractions are nearby & Ella city is 1.4 km away. All over it's a good place for solo female travelers. Loved my stay there...

    Nice place to meet other travellers. Good breakfast. Close to Little Adam's Peak, Nine Arch Bridge and only 10 minutes away from the center. Quiet environment. Friendly staff. Would recommend it here!

    Need to be aware that it's a 15min walk to the main street in town. Unfortunately no tours are organized by the hostel. The room and bathroom are functional but really simple and imagine once the room is fully booked it could get crowded and easily less clean. Given the price it's negligible.

    10min walk to the Nine Arche Bridge, nice and cozy hangout areas. Classic hostel breakfast with toasts and omelette. Basic rooms which are simple but functional and clean. Locker for each guest available. Great value for price.

    it's a bit further away from the main street, like 15 min walk, but it's pleasant enough as Ella is in the mountains.

    Loved the internet speed - I was able to work without any interruptions. Great breakfast, room was cool enough to sleep and didn't get hot. They also had a water tank to fill in your bottles. Location is great as it's close to the restaurants and hiking points. I loved my stay here

    Really nice hostel with clean rooms and good working AC/fan. The location was a 15 minute walk from Ella city center but completely fine, and so it’s quiet there at night! and it’s very close to 9 Arch Bridge and Little Adams Peak which is nice! The staff was really friendly! We got good breakfast every morning. The lounge area is nice to hang out, hostel is also good for socializing. All in all a great hostel, would recommend!

    Only problem with my dorm bed was the charging socket was not working n I had to use the one in common room.

    Very good rooms with basic toiletries provided.The breakfast was toast n eggs with fruits,it was basic but it was very filing.The host is very informative n helps you with how to get around n tuk tuk to train station etc. You can cover little Adam's peak trek 20-30 min from here n there nine arch bridge also ..all walkable so it is very convenient.it also has some good restaurants nearby.My personal recommendation is cafe Eden for their local food.

    The location of this hostel is just amazing. Nine arch bridge is just 15-20 mins walk. Little Adam's peak is also just 20 mins walk. Even the central market is just 15 min walk. You have a lot of eating options within 5 mins of walk. The bus station is also nearby.The dorms are quite spacious and clean. The staff is very helpful.
