At the hostel, the rooms include a desk and a balcony with a mountain view. Featuring a shared bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Backpackers Hostel also feature a city view. All rooms have a safety deposit box. The sweetest and most welcoming hosts. Hostel is very well located, just outside of the busy and noisy city center but only 5 minutes walking distance, easy to access. Delicious breakfast. Super clean room and bathroom. Nice view of tea plantations from the terrace. I highly recommend. Thank you for also helping me out with the police station 🙏🏻

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. This might be a little long but I must share because the assistance, the kindness that I have received is unforgettable. I visited during first week of December and Unfortunately I had met with an accident during my stay and they had taken care of me like a family. They were just a message away and took care of all my needs since I was totally bedridden. Shafaan who helped along with other staff and the hostel owner himself personally visited and checked if I was ok. To all staff, entire team of hostel I am thankful and forever grateful! It’s located in the most convenient location, very budget friendly yet so well maintained and offers comfortable stay. Everyone is very helpful.
