We were really happy to find this wonderful little place and to have such a warm and helpful host as Lahiru (who is an excellent chef btw). The location is a bit outside of ella which made the stay more calm and the view was breath taking. I can really recommend.

All hostels in 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.
