Super welcoming host - I was offered a cup of tea at arrival :-) and several times during my stay. New hostels - all very functional, nice, clean and tidy. Very good location. The provided towels are really good!! (I experienced no towel or really old one in other hostels). Central without being in the middle of the noisy pubs/night clubs… Definitely recommend!

It was one of the best hostels I have stayed in terms of hospitality. The manager Shiva was very welcoming and took care of everything I needed throughout my stay. The Breakfast was amazing and the dorm room was very big and comfortable. Also, the property is New and well maintained. I enjoyed my stay there.

They were absolutely incredible—I cannot express how grateful I am in words. The breakfast was fantastic and incredibly satisfying! Enjoying it on the rooftop while taking in the stunning mountain views was an unforgettable experience. The owner and staff were amazing! I took the highway bus from Ella to Galle, I accidentally left my small backpack on the bus when I got off. I called the bus company, but I wasn’t sure if they understood or what to do. So, I contacted the hostel. The owner reached out to the bus company and told me that the bus would return with my backpack at 2 p.m. (in 1.5 hours). Just as he said, my backpack was returned! Big thanks to the owner and staff!
