“Great staff!! Clean rooms!”

The room was clean and smelled amazing! The staff were super helpful and took good care of us. We only stayed one night but was tempted to stay longer!

I loved my stay there and Elsa was amazing !!

Honestly one of the most social hostels I’ve stayed at. There are activities every day so it’s super easy to meet a lot of people. I especially loved the pub crawl, such a fun night! The location is perfect, right in the center so you can walk everywhere even to the main attractions. Also, everything is really clean, the staff is so lovely, and the beds are super comfortable (with curtains !). The breakfast is super complete and family dinner is succulent ! Would 100% stay again!

“Activited are planned for everyone so that you won’t miss out on anything.”

Located very close to ninc arch bridge viewpoint, almost walkable distance. Also the ella station is quite near. Good property and it is worth the money.

Great place to stay in Ella and run by an excellent manager (Elsa).

“Really easy and social vibes were on point!”

This hostel had a great vibe and the staff (Anthea and Elsa) absolutely made my stay! The location was perfect to be able to do every activity and a great balance of social. Would recommend to anyone doing a few nights or longer stays in Ella.

Decent hostel. Not super social, but still nice. Good location!

“Favourite hostel of Sri Lanka”

Really social. Good efforts to get people out. Close to Adams peak and 9 arches bridge, bit further from Ella rock. Very clean, beer available from the hostel.

“Affordable prices, lively social scene, and perfectly positioned for exploring all the main spots. If you’re backpacking”

I stayed for 5 nights and it was hands-down the highlight of my Ella adventure. The location is unbeatable—super central in town, just a short walk to Little Adam’s Peak trailhead and only about 1.5 km from the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. The dorms were spotless and well-thought-out, with comfy bunk beds, individual reading lights, privacy curtains, and strong fans that kept things cool even on humid nights. Shared bathrooms were always clean, with plenty of hot water available whenever I needed it—no waiting around. What truly made it special was the vibe: the place buzzed with energy from daily activities like game nights, bonfire chats, cooking classes, and group hikes organized by the super friendly staff. Everyone from solo travelers to small groups mixed effortlessly, and I left with a bunch of new friends and great memories. Huge shoutout to the team for going above and beyond—always helpful with tour bookings, tuk-tuk tips, and making you feel right at home. A massive thanks to the staff especially Antea, Elsa, Harsha, Isuru and Raju for being an absolute sport.

“Very noisy & not worth booking a private room”

Seemed great for socialising which is exactly what hostel should be! Lady on reception was kind and helpful.

“Totally recommand this wonderfull place !”

Great atmosphere like a family there with a lot of activities proposed! Really clean place and confortable bed, best sleep I had here ! The staff is really friendly and helpfull for anything, thank you again, can't wait to come back !

Location was good

“Lovely staff”

The staff was super sweet and I loved the cooking class. When I lost my key they were super patient and helped me to find it:). I will definitely come back.

Honestly not much. The vibe is not what you expect. The people in the reception are just not the vibe. The room was dirty, smelled bad and there was a lot of noise as it was directly below the staircase.

Great atmosphere and location. Breakfast was simple but perfect. Very social and facilities were really good.

“Super nice stay. Would recommend!”

Super nice host!! And its easy to go now to Ella after the flooding

“Horrible”

There is actually not a single person at this hostel. Doesn’t look like the pictures at all. Felt like being in a prison so we booked something else.

Great hostel in a perfect location, what really sets it apart tho is the staff. They are super friendly and helpful, they also run great events which is an awesome way to meet othe travellers.

“Lovely vibe”

The manager was the best!
