    It's a new hostel that opened 3 months ago. I stayed in the 4-bed female dorm and the room is clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is welcoming and helps a lot (especially Barry). They are happy for every feedback to improve the hostel experience. They have scooters to rent and the breakfast is delicious. The pizza is good and they have family dinners twice a week. Last but not least, the best thing: The view! I would definitely come back.

    It would be nice to have proper hooks or shelves in the bathroom to pack your stuff while taking a shower. The ladder to the upper beds is the worst I’ve seen in years. It’s a workout to get up and down. Finding the reception is not obvious, more signs please!

    The location is great: easy walking distance from the main street, but in a quiet area with amazing view. The room is small (female dorm), but the locker is spacious, the bed is comfortable. The privacy curtain is great. Both the room and bathroom is clean. There’s hot water. The breakfast options are great, the staff is nice. The hostel is not very social, so if this is what you are looking for, maybe look elsewhere. But they have WhatsApp group, so in case you have initiatives, you might get some company. They offer a laundry service, make sure to give them at least 24hrs.

    Great location with amazing views, close to town but in quiet back streets. Very comfortable beds, nice breakfast

    Almost nothing, but kitchen fridge was not so clean

    Great hostel with very comfortable beds and curtains. Dorm rooms have enough space for luggage and lockers. One shared bathroom per room which is very clean and well taken care of. For breakfest one can choose between several options including nice Coffee. Staff is welcoming and super helpful with everything you need (laundry, TukTuk order, tours...). It's located a bit away from the busy street, so it is quite with a nice view from the rooftop terrasse. Would defenitely come back!

    The location is nice when it comes about the view but you have to bear in mind you have to walk down and up a bit.

    The beds had curtains, plugs and light was next to the bed. The lockers were quite big. I got a free upgrade to the room with less beds. Foe breakfast you can choose between Sri Lankan and 'western' options. Nice view. Hot water! Very clean

    For the price, it was absolutely perfect.

    I loved the beautiful view from the hostel. It is located about 10-15 mins from Ella city center, worth the little walk. The beds are perfect - curtains provide for absolute privacy, and I think the beds are a little wider than usual. There is a lamp and socket by each bed, and everyone has a big storage to lock personal things, my onboard size suitcase fitted in it easily. The bathroom is ok. I also appreciated the possibility to get hot water any time from the machine by reception, to make a hot drink. The breakfast included in the price is definitely sufficient. Great value for money.

    The hot shower didn’t work, but everything else was great that the issue didn’t even matter.

    They were absolutely incredible—I cannot express how grateful I am in words. The breakfast was fantastic and incredibly satisfying! Enjoying it on the rooftop while taking in the stunning mountain views was an unforgettable experience. The owner and staff were amazing! I took the highway bus from Ella to Galle, I accidentally left my small backpack on the bus when I got off. I called the bus company, but I wasn’t sure if they understood or what to do. So, I contacted the hostel. The owner reached out to the bus company and told me that the bus would return with my backpack at 2 p.m. (in 1.5 hours). Just as he said, my backpack was returned! Big thanks to the owner and staff!

    The only one bathroom (inside the dorm) should be cleaned more often. Only once a day is not enough at all. Other than that, all was perfect!

    This is a super nice hostel just outside the main road of Ella. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff were very friendly!

    The bathroom (dorm) was quite dirty and wasn't cleaned in the 3 days we stayed there. The hostel is a little bit outside (10 minute walk into town), but for us it was fine.

    Beds are very comfortable, loved the curtains and the fan. The view is amazing and breakfast was delicious with many things to choose from. Towels, toilet paper and soap were provided and my laundry smelled amazing after having it washed and was very clean! The staff was very nice and helped with whatever questions we had.

    There was no hostel atmosphere, maybe i was not there in high season. 10 beds for only 1 toilet and 1 shower seems too little for me

    The hostel is really nice, although when I was there it was quite empty, only saw 2 other girls staying in the dorms. A thing to know, i stayed in 10 bed dorm, with only one bathroom and one shower, so idk at times when the room is full how's that working.... Location is good, a little bit away from the hustle. The views of the mountains are just perfect. Breakfast! Huge and varied: coffee, yogurt, fruits, toasts, eggs, jam, cereal.

    Nothing really bad, the kitchen stuff got confused with my breakfast order , they didn’t found the sheet I filled out on my first day so I had to explain again But nothing too bad if you are telling earlier and don’t mind some changes in your order of fruits and food

    Amazing view from the roof top Clean Rooms and bathroom The owner/manager is available at the front desk or phone anytime and willing to help you Free breakfast if you wish, a lot of different options to choose from Quiet area but walking distance to the main road and some main attractions like little adams peak or nine arch bridge

    The bathroom wasn’t cleaned once during the two nights that i spent here. Getting to the hostel can be challenging when it rains because of the hills which are also completely dark at night so be wary.

    I had the best sleep at this hostel and the breakfast was sooo good! Also it’s (relatively) close to little adam’s peak and nine arch bridge which was very convenient.

    I'm guessing it really helped that I was the only person for 3 nights in a 4 bed dorm. But the beds are comfy. Everything is clean. Good water pressure and hot water. The view from the rooftop area is amazing.

    Peacefully tucked away from the busy main road of Ella but still close enough to town and all the main attractions. Amazing roof top terrace where a huge breakfast is served every morning. Staff is super accommodating, friendly and great communication. Manager even dropped me at the station for no extra charge. Would 100% stay here again!
