Hive Ella - Hostel

Ella

Situated in Ella, 4.7 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Hive Ella - Hostel features accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 49 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden, the hostel with free WiFi is also 49 km away from Horton Plains National Park. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, and currency exchange for guests. The hostel is simply fantastic. The owner is incredibly warm-hearted and organizes something every day. Sometimes it's a trip to a waterfall, a hike, or a night of billiards in town. You can also suggest activities, and he makes it happen. The family dinner and cooking class were amazing. All of this makes the hostel super social, creating awesome friendships and memories. It’s clean, and the beds are comfortable. Breakfast is great, too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and it was hard to leave. We’d come back anytime. Thanks for an awesome experience!

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 offers a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. Quiet and peaceful location near the train tracks. The staff were warm and welcoming. I prefer it to other hostels as I shared a small room with only three other people. This was preferable as larger dorms mean more evening disturbances to sleep
