## 👉 OUR VIBE ✨

Hive Hostel is all about connection, community and unforgettable travel experiences.

Whether you're travelling solo or with a few friends, you'll quickly become part of the Hive family. We encourage guests to join activities, share travel stories, have dinner together and make new friends from around the world.

If you're looking for a quiet place to work all day, keep to yourself or avoid socialising, we may not be the best fit. But if you're excited to meet amazing people and create unforgettable memories, you'll feel right at home.

Travelling as a group?

To keep Hive a truly social hostel, we sometimes adjust room allocations for group bookings of 4 or more guests. This helps us maintain a balanced mix of travellers and creates more opportunities for everyone to connect.
your group may be accommodated together in our 8-bed mixed dorms instead of a 6-bed dorm.Your group will always stay together—we simply change the dorm size when necessary.This only applies to mixed dorm bookings, Female Dorm bookings are never affected.

Hive is not a party hostel—but we're definitely the most social one in Ella!

You'll also be sharing the hostel with our two friendly dogs and our resident cat. And if you're lucky, you might even spot monkeys swinging through the garden!

Sammendrag av gjesteanmeldelser

Hive Ella Hostel på Sri Lanka hylles for sin utrolig sosiale atmosfære, som gjør det enkelt å møte medreisende. Gjestene roser ofte det vennlige og hjelpsomme personalet, spesielt eieren Gihan, som organiserer en rekke aktiviteter som matlagingskurs og grupputflukter. Beliggenheten er sentral, selv om man må være forberedt på mange trapper. Frokosten vurderes jevnt over som deilig.

I loved my stay at Hive! It’s newly renovated and has a great location. You have to walk some stairs to get there, but it was totally worth it. The hostel has a great view and you can also catch the beautiful sunset from the rooftop. It has a great chill area and has really comfortable beds and blankets! The hostel is close to the main road, if you come by bus the trail to the hostel is 1 meter away from the bus stop. The staff were super friendly and so so helpful, absolutely loved it here!

This was easily my favourite hostel I stayed in in Sri Lanka, if not ever! Gihan and the team are so welcoming, and create such a lovely family vibe. The location is so convenient, and there are activities planned every day making it super easy to enjoy Ella, especially as a solo traveller. Couldn’t recommend enough !!
