Backpackers Hostel Ella

Highly recommend staying here - the price is great for the quality of the beds, the free breakfast is good (omelette, toast, and then something additional like a smoothie or pancakes), and most importantly the staff are so friendly and helpfu! There is only 1 shower for 8 people so sometimes had to wait but was fine. Location is ideal, close to Ella centre but quiet. I imagine it would be social here if the right kind of people were staying there at the same time as there is a nice outdoor space

One of my favorite hostels in Sri Lanka! Best value for money I’ve experienced: small but really nice space, breakfast is included and mosquito nets provided. The host family is super nice and very helpful and are maintaining the space throughout the day, so it’s pretty much always clean. The location is also really nice, nested in the tea fields it’s a great spot to just hand out and connect with your fellow travellers, and if you go out there are many affordable places to eat nearby.

Very helpful and nice hosts! Also very cheap laundry service. Personal lockers would be a great feature :) Other than that we had a great stay and would definitely come back. Thank you for everything!!
