Excellent location, at a walking distance from ella railway station....you don't have to take a tuk tuk when you reach Ella. Also at walking distance from nine arch bridge. Courtesy at its best.....we had some problems with the snoring of a guest ha ha , but owner shifted us to expensive dorm without any extra charge. Thanks to him, would love to visit again..

This is a spacious hostel with extraordinary nice staff,especially Diva. The matresses are as comfortable as much as this place is clean. For the night you get an extra blanket and the breakfast( fruits and toast with jam and butter)is giving you a great start for the day!
