This place is simply magical, immersing yourself in the heights of the mountains from your bed. I had the chance to meet a magnificent Sham soul and taste her delicious passion fruit juice. This is the best place to rest take time to do yoga or even party there if you want everything is perfect

I absolutely loved this hostel, its location is so peaceful and I spent most of my days just watching the rice paddy workers and hanging out. So much nicer than being in Ella itself and the walk in was beautiful, definitely worth the slight inconvenience. Also free breakfast and dinner! Allowed you to do own laundry for 200 rupees only.

Excellent location, at a walking distance from ella railway station....you don't have to take a tuk tuk when you reach Ella. Also at walking distance from nine arch bridge. Courtesy at its best.....we had some problems with the snoring of a guest ha ha , but owner shifted us to expensive dorm without any extra charge. Thanks to him, would love to visit again..

The owner Dilan is incredibly accommodating and helpful! The Hostel is a bit remote (although little adams peak and nine arch bridge are in walking distance), but that's not a problem at all because Dilan kindly offered to take me everywhere by tuk tuk. He picked me up when I arrived in Ella and drove me literally everywhere I wanted in Ella throughout my stay. He was available at any time, totally uncomplicated and very reliable! A perfect host! Also, Dilan is too modest to admit it, but he's a great cook! We ate with him every morning (breakfast was included) and evening and everything was delicious! The dorm is very basic and still in process, but absolutely okay for the price!

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.
