I slept there for 4 nights in 2024 and one night im 2026. A lot has changed in Ella (I personally don't like how it became a party place). The little hostel is at the outside area of Ella, near the train station and not in the party center. Located perfectly for Ella Rock, little Adam's Peak and nine arch bridge. I think it is one of the only places in Ella that still have the real authentic vibe of Ella, how it used to be, that's why I came back to this hostel...

The owners were very friendly and helped me with suggestions on how to move or what to do there. Breakfast was amazing and the location is very good, 5mins walk from the city but still away from the caos.

“Best Hostel in Sri Lanka”
The mattresses are very good and comfortable. The hot water is really appreciated. The location is unbeatable, very close to everything but without being in the middle of the noise. The place is super clean. And what can I say about Indika’s family… I would stay and live with them. They are wonderful, good people with unbeatable kindness and great vibes. Always with a smile. The place has such a healthy, positive energy. I think it’s the best place I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. 11/10

Also the breakfast was AMAZING!! For 800 rupees you get a feast 😌 I loved this place so much wish I could stay longer !!

Cozy House Hostel is a lovely, relaxed place to stay. The hammock is perfect for chilling, the family who runs it is super friendly, and you really feel at home there. Breakfast is a highlight — every day there’s a new fresh shake, like papaya or mango, and they’re delicious. Highly recommended!
