"Great escape from busy Ella"

9.0

This was the perfect place in the countryside outside of Ella! Although the dorms were slightly basic with a slight drain smell, this is not unusual for Sri Lanka, and the pool and views definitely made up for it! You’re a short walk from Ella town (about 20-30 mins) straight down the railway, but not in the busy town so you feel completely away from all the hustle and bustle. It’s extremely relaxing and honestly just the most beautiful place. They also offer free breakfast AND dinner which is a major win!

Muhteşem bir doğa manzarası içinde, 1-2 dolara sabah kahvaltısı harikaydı.

Merkezden buraya gidecek taksi bulmakta zorluk çektim.

The location of the hostel along the rail tracks is idyllic, it's a way out from town but perfect for a chill quiet stay in Ella, which for me was nicer than the town itself. It's also directly adjacent to the Ella Rock trailhead which was handy. Nice social vibe when I was there too

Dorm being open bunk beds with no curtains etc. was not ideal, but seems to be the norm for hostels in SL

Such a great place, beautiful location which is a good starting point for a few hikes, namely Ella Rock at sunrise. Owner is very friendly
