Situated in Ella, 4.5 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Downtown Hostels Ella features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 48 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden, the hostel with free WiFi is also 49 km away from Horton Plains National Park. The accommodation provides entertainment staff and a shared kitchen. I don’t have the words to express how much I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. Everything was simply perfect from start to finish. I initially planned to stay for two days, but I had such a great time that I decided to extend my stay for an extra day. The location is excellent – very central and close to everything, without the steep climbs you find in other places. They offer a delicious breakfast that changes daily, a coffee and water station, the rooms are exceptionally clean, and the showers have wonderfully hot water. And most importantly – the staff was absolutely amazing! They helped me plan my itinerary, spent time with me in the lovely common area, and even organized fun evening events for all the guests. HUGE Thank you to Shafan and Thilgar - you guys are the BEST.
