Hostal Tree House

I stayed for two nights in a shared dorm. Everything was fine and I can recommend trying out the Roti they offer :) I also had breakfast included and ask for a lunch box instead, since I had to leave early in the morning. This was no deal. Thank you for everything!

This one was my favorite hostel in Sri Lanka. Loved the vibe, nice view, location, huge breakfast, good people, and the hammock:) The owner is super nice and kind as well.

Only downside for me was slow wifi. But it was OK as I went outside when I really needed good wifi.

This is the best hostel I’ve ever had the view and the place to stay is just amazing the price is very cheap compare to what you gonna get the breakfast omg so good the host is too kind

We absolutely LOVED this place! It's vibe is mainly made from Wood & other lovely little items are attached to make it feel good & organic, we felt home instantly. The upper setting is amazing & the higher terraces are just making it a relaxed safe zone, above from all the movements of the little town of Ella. It's not very quiet for sleeping, so be prepared. But the lovely setting, the outstanding price & the amazing breakfast (included!) def. makes up for it. Also try the rest of the menu: we loved it! Thank you for this contributing stay in Ella dear family 🙏🏽💕

Very good staff & hostel location is very good and maintained very well…

The common areas were really cozy and wonderful for rainy afternoons and the view was nice. Especially the morning was nice for listening to the birds around. The staff were really friendly. Food was good.

Finding the staff was sometimes a challenge, it is open so can get very hot or cold depending on the weather. Its extremely noisy (which isnt the hostel’s fault because its due to the town businesses) which made it difficult to sleep at night. The wifi was very poor so if you have to work, combined with the night noise you would have a challenging time. And getting up to the room itself was like a short gym trip although it is called a ‘tree house’ so keep it in mind. In addition the cleanliness of the bathroom was questionable.

Muito má experiência. Tínhamos reservado o hostel 2 dias antes com email de confirmação , chegamos ao hostel depois de 10h de viagem de bus e afinal não havia camas disponíveis pois supostamente “nao receberam a confirmação da reserva”. Ofereceram uma tenda partilhada no terraço como solução. Não ficamos pois estava frio e chuva, eu pedi para cancelar a reserva , eles cancelaram mal como se eu não tivesse aparecido no check-in e ainda tive que pagar a taxa de cancelamento igual ao valor da reserva sem absolutamente culpa nenhuma. Ou seja , tivemos que procurar outro hostel as 22h da noite para dormir e ainda me cobraram dinheiro , pelos 2 erros que cometeram.

I had a great stay at Hostal Tree House in Ella, run by a very kind and welcoming couple. The host even picked me up from the bus stand at night, which I really appreciated, and his wife kindly helped with my laundry as well. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm, and the place also has a lovely terrace café on the top where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The views are beautiful — tea plantations on one side and the railway tracks on the other. It’s also easy to cross the tracks and explore Ella town from there.
