Excellent excellent hostel. I spent a week here and couldn't have felt more comfortable. The hostel is excellently located on the edge of town, being much quieter than the other hostels. But it is still less than a 2 minute walk to shops and restaurants, etc. (start of Little adams peak and 9 arch Bridge trail as well). The hostel has easily the best view of any hostel in town, looking over a valley with wildlife and children playing cricket. I really enjoyed finding new things at this hostel from artwork I hadn't seen before to binoculars left out to look across the valley. I met some great people at the hostel, but for a social drinking night, I went to Hungover Hostel for a few nights. It goes without saying but the owner and staff are amazing. I would be lying on the couch and have a breakfast cooked and made for me. So as bad as it sounds I'd have a delicious breakfast while just laying down with a nice view. Felt secure there with all the cameras and often just left all my stuff out.

I really liked the place. It is calm and the staff is really friendly and helpful.🌞 The location is good, it is close to beautiful nature and some hiking activities, but also close to the town (maybe 10min walking).

This is more my personal issue but I'm allergic to dogs and there's one that runs around the cafe upstairs. And the room is a bit dark, but fine if you spend most of your time upstairs in the cafe space.

Bed was super comfy and the staff were very nice.

My favourite hostel stay in Sri Lanka by far! The views are breathtaking, the room and bathroom were clean and the breakfast was delicious! Super close to the Nine arch bridge and the Little adams peak. Everyone working at the hostel had an amazing energy and the hostel was social if you wanted it to be. I would definitely stay here again, thanks:)

The Hostel has a really laid back vibe. Being a bit further from the town full of tourists it has a more quiet atmosphere and is close to all the popular sights. The owner is really nice :)

Being right next to the start of the main attractions meant a noisy street if you are the bottom street side room.

Met all my expectations. It is right at the base of little Adam’s peak and nine arch bridges trail. The upstairs hangout space was calm and cool and the coconut pancakes at breakfast were delicious!

You could hear the foot steps above you. So recommend you to take the top floor.

Beautiful place, the owner and the staffs are always there for your needs and help you. Location is a little away(peaceful) from the crowded town and is close to 9 arch bridge. It has a restaurant which serves beer and you can get the dishes done the way you like it.

It was a little loud at night, with dogs barking. This is not the fault of the owners of course, but just a heads up to future guests. The room has a few open areas in the walls, covered with mosquito netting, meaning noise is not blocked out. There is only one key to share with the dorm room, which must be left at reception. Bit annoying, but bearable/understandable.

Location, location, location! Fantastic area to be based, being right at the starting point for the paths leading to the 9 Arches Bridge, and Little Adam's Peak, and also near a good massage parlour. Not only this, but the view from the hostel is spectacular, with tropical birds visiting the trees each day. The owner was very accommodating, and easy to contact, going to extra lengths to try and locate my missing plug. The cook was friendly, and especially the cleaning lady (forgotten names, sorry!), who was charming. Great vibe here with other guests, and super chilled, with a treehouse feel around the bar area. The beds were ok, and the showers warm (after running for 5 mins)! Cleaned regularly. The included breakfasts were nice too. What a bargain! Probably the best hostel I've stayed at in Sri Lanka thus far...keep it up guys!

This place was one of my favorites in Sri Lanka, and I've been here for a couple months... I was able to use the wifi to do some video calls for work, no problem. Nice breakfast, good people, clean, comfortable, with mosquito nets.

It is located on a road that gets busy early in the morning, so there’s quite a bit of traffic noise which woke me up every morning despite wearing earplugs. Be aware that you’ll have to either take a tuk tuk or walk back in the dark along an unlit road if you’re going out for dinner in the center.

Very friendly staff, nice common area in the café, comfortable bed, simple but clean facilities, good breakfast and food served in the café, wifi works well. It is located about a 10 minute walk outside the main town area, so it feels quite secluded in the evening and you can hear lots of frogs croaking, which I liked.

Nice and relaxing and great vibe away from the main strip and nice location for little Adams peak and 9 arch railway bridge

Very nice stay at the noname hostel. Sanjee the owner and his two colleagues are always smiling, ready to help and available for everything. Sanjee organize for me a long taxi trip at a very good price. He is always there for his clients. The vibe of the place is very friendly and it is a perfect hostel for solo travellers. Location is very good. Ten minutes by foot to the city center and literally at the start of the Little's Adam Peak Trail and Nine arches bridge trail. Breakfast was also included and delicious. Best quality-price in Ella.

I loved this hostel so much. Everything what you can need is there (food, drinks), also for very good price. Hostel is situated on very good location (near to the Little Adam's Peak, Nine Arches Bridge). Also the price for hostel was really good. So guys I can just highly recommend :)

Really nice vibe, super friendly and helpful staff. Even though it is a bit further away from.the centre, I really enjoyed the location as you get to fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and it is really close to nine arches bridge and little Adam's peak.

It's just a suggestion to have a working microwave and stove in the kitchen so that some cooking can be done

Bed was comfortable. Staff was very helpful. Location was near centre of town.

Very friendly staff and the vibe of the hostel is very relaxed. Walking distract from main strip.

It is within a 15 minutes walking distance from the strip. Ella’s town can get really busy and crowded and I much preferred relaxed atmosphere in the hostel. It is close to Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arch Bridge - must see places in Ella. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly. Breakfast included in the price is fresh and tasty and the restaurant is serving home made Sri Lanka’s food.
