Reviews of Nifty Hostel Ella

Mr. Palitha is a nice person, very helpful. Very close to the railway station and the heart of town! Loved the breakfast.

The owner is so lovely, he did everything to make the stay absolutely wonderful! The bed and linen was very very comfortable and he even brought mosquito repellent incense sticks! Breakfast prepared with love was also included. The location is great to get to the village as well as activities and the railway station. Thank you so so much!

A bit noisy in the evening because of partying in the village, but I think you have to sleep way outside not to hear that - stopped around midnight.

i choosed that place for location.

There was no coordination and no healthy directions. Working man tried to sell me the room from the expensive prices at first. The bed was dirty. I found many different hairs and dead flyies. And when i showed these to working man, he try to said to me "you can clean with your hand actions(by sweeping with the hand"). Bed suits and room in general was smell bad and highly moisture smell. Toilets were dirty. I don't recommend at all.

Host is super nice. He's there to make sure that all guests are having a good experience and can help you with anything. City is easily accessible from here. Comfortable beds and good breakfast!

Great location, great facilities, lovely man who runs the place. Very simple but ideal for a few days in Ella!

The bedroom closest to the road could do with some curtains for in the morning as it gets quite bright.

Was very clean like brand new, and the host was a lovely man very accommodating, let me wash my clothes and cooked me breakfast

It’s new and quiet. We stayed there without other guest. I stayed in one room and my friend stay in the other room, it’s like private room for us 👍

They don’t seem to clean the unused bed in the room. I see many dust and dead leaf on the second bunk bed

Really good location — close to everything in Ella. The man at reception was very kind and helpful. The place feels new and well-kept, with a comfortable bed and a good shower. Breakfast was also great. Would definitely recommend!

Nothing

Clean, comfortable, delicious breakfast and very helpful staff. I guess they are new, best hostel i stayed in sri lanka. Definitely recommend.

Good location near some great restaurants. Clean, newly furnished

Beds were too short for 6ft+. Gates locked overnight so tricky to get out for early walk

The people that run the hostel are very kind and they make sure that you are comfortable. The hostel is very nice, GREAT bed and hot shower! I would definately reccomend it if you are looking for somewhere chill to rest

It was empty so didnt get any vibe check. Kishore the caretaker was super nice and felt safe throughout. He is a really nice guy. I loved the washroom facilities. Fairly new hostel so had quite a lot of freshness to space. The plugs are sri lankan. If you need convertor the venue people might give it to you. I got one convertor from kishore which was helpful.

Gives slightly hotel/guesthouse vibes rather than hostel vibes.

Amazing hosts and great location. Everything is in walkable distance. Highly recommended Hostel.

Super welcoming host - I was offered a cup of tea at arrival :-) and several times during my stay. New hostels - all very functional, nice, clean and tidy. Very good location. The provided towels are really good!! (I experienced no towel or really old one in other hostels). Central without being in the middle of the noisy pubs/night clubs… Definitely recommend!

The place is both clean and comfortable, and it's amazing in a word. Matthew and Palit, who are the staff members of one person, are amazingly friendly and helpful. The staff is the best I've ever seen.Overall, I loved this place.
