Cozy House Hostel

Ella

Located in Ella, 4.2 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Cozy House Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. 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. I had been travelling to SriLanka for almost 1.5 months. In the last 1.5 months i stayed in many hostels and hotels. Compared to all of my experiences i found Cozy House Hostel is the best. The owner of this hostel is a very very very humble person. He even allowed me to check in at 4 a.m. in the morning because my bus was too early. It's actually a Homestay type hostel. The owner's family also lives there. The parents of the owner are as good as him. His mother helped me to cook rice and was very humble. His father was also a nice person, though they can't speak very good English but they always talk with the guests with a smile. That's caught my Heart. They have a very nice kitchen. Guests can have tea and coffee from their hostel kitchen, It's complimentary. I will definitely go there again and I recommend all the travellers to go there. There location is also in a very nice location. But if you search on google map the rute you will find will be little bit long. There location is just beside the rail line. So if you walk through the train line, you will find their hostel within 2 min from the train station.

Backpackers Hostel

Ella

At the hostel, the rooms include a desk, bed linen and a balcony with a mountain view. With a shared bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Backpackers Hostel also feature a city view. All rooms have a safety deposit box. I will highly recommend every backpacker to consider this place for once. It is run run by kasun who is a gem of a person. Never met such a humble host who is so much concerned about backpackers needs and always ready to help them. If I ever visit Sri Lanka again, I will definitely visit this place again
