Amazing hostel- everything about it was fantastic! I booked for two nights but ended up staying 11 lol. The host is v friendly, the hostel is a very easy place to relax and its a really nice walk along the railway lines to get to Ella town centre (40mins). Some nice restaurants along the way too (River Face). Socialble hostel, they provide a free breakfast and a cheap dinner (500-700 rupees). Good location for Ella Rock sunrise hike too:)

Loved the internet speed - I was able to work without any interruptions. Great breakfast, room was cool enough to sleep and didn't get hot. They also had a water tank to fill in your bottles. Location is great as it's close to the restaurants and hiking points. I loved my stay here
