Just how great it was for workationing with ample spots in the premises to sit, chill, hangout, work, play games. Mr Dayan, the host, is a very kind and generous person who takes great care of the guests. They offer free breakfast as well as dinner!!! The meals are taken as a community in big tables. I met awesome people and formed friendships I’ll cherish. I just wanted to keep extending the stay.

I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Ella. The hosts are very kind and helped me decide on the best activities to do in the area. The hostel is new, very clean, and everything, including the shower, is great. The beds are very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The breakfast was fantastic, and they have a great bar and pizza restaurant on-site, offering cold beers and delicious pizzas at very reasonable prices—a perfect spot to relax. The location is excellent, just a 5-10 minute walk from Ella's center, with the Nine Arches Bridge nearby. All in all, a great value for the price!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
