I booked 3 nights here in the 4beds shared room, but in the end I couldn't stay at the hostel because of a mistake that I made. The owner was super cool about that and even helped me to sort out my situation and invited me for a chat and some tea. He is the sweetest person and has a lot of advice to offer. I recommend this hostel to everyone, especially solo travelers, cause there is a very social atmosphere. Thanks again my friend, I wish you and your family all the best

This hostel was great! We actually booked a private room which was so spacious and had everything we needed. The man at the reception was extremely kind and helpful with any questions we had and sorted us out a motorbike to rent for a day! The location was perfect only 10 minute walk from train station and 2 minute walk to centre of Ella.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
