Hostel Upside Ella

This hostel was just outside of Ella town but still well-located next to little adam’s peak. The room was very spacious and clean, including the ensuite bathroom. The staff are friendly and accommodating. We would recommend getting breakfast included in the morning to fuel you for a hike up Ella rock!

Good stay 40 min walk from dt area

mega hostel, das größte zimmer der ganzen reise, mega schöne chill area, gutes Frühstück und das liebste Personal, haben uns alle Tipps gegeben, ist nur leider bisschen außerhalb, bis auf 9 Arches Bridge ist braucht man zu allem länger aber wenn man nicht alleine ist super machbar. absolute empfehlung aber man muss sich bewusst sein, dass man immer 30min laufen muss in die Stadt und zu anderen activities

We really enjoyed our time in the upside hostel! Breakfast was super tasty and employees were so friendly! Would definitely recommend:)

Meine liebste Unterkunft auf Sri Lanka. Die Aussicht ist ein Traum und die Ausstattung ist hochwertig. Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit und das Frühstück schmeckt sehr gut. Ich würde jederzeit wieder kommen!

The owner is the greatest man I have met in Sri Lanka

Das Hostel war sehr sauber und ausreichend ausgestattet. Die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und haben einen schönen Ausblick ins Grüne. Leider funktionierte die Klospülung nicht immer. Dadurch dass das Hostel etwas oberhalb des Zentrums von Ella liegt, bietet es einen guten Ausgangspunkt für verschiedene Aktivitäten. Jedoch zahlt man für ein Tuktuk ins Zentrum ca. 1000 LKR und es ist sehr schwer nachts eins zu organisieren. Die Besitzer waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Really lovely hostel, hot water, very clean, massive rooms and good breakfast, just a little far away from the centre but definitely walkable!

Super schönes Hostel, wenn man etwas mehr abseits von der Stadt wohnen möchte. Die Hosts sind total nett und das essen da ist Mega Mega lecker. Würde jederzeit nochmal dort einchecken

We really enjoyed our stay at the hostel! It had the comfortable beds from all hostels we‘ve stayed in Sri Lanka and hot showers! The staff is super friendly and the surrounding is quite. Little Adam‘s peak and the famous bridge are only a 15 min walk away. To get to the city center it’s 35 min by walking but there is also a bus coming every 30 minutes. Would definitely stay there again!

Probably one of the best hostels I stayed in Sri Lanka. Huge dorms, very clean and fresh bedsheets , very good cafe and WiFi. Employees are super nice and helpful. A bit far from the center

THE best hostel i stayed at during my one month stay in sri lanka. first of all the rooms are MASSIVE for how many beds are in the dorm. the cozy blankets and hot shower was lovely. you have a balcony overlooking incredible views. don't let other reviews dissuade you from staying because of the location, it was so quick and easy to walk into town. the free breakfast was lovely and i met so many cool people here.

Great hostel. The owner is so nice and helpful. The location is great for the bridge and the Adam’s peak, but if you want to have food you need to walk into the city(20-30min) or take a tuktuk.

Great place

I really enjoyed my stay. The people are super nice and the rooms are huge, extremely clean, and have a balcony with a great view. If you want somewhere quieter to stay and don't want to be right in the tourist center of Ella, this is the place for you.

Lovely new hostel! The dorm room was very spacious. The common area with kitchen, dining and living was really nice as was the food and coffee. It was far from the Ella centre but good in terms of being close to Little Adams Peak and the railway.

Hostel is cute and has extremely comfortable beds but very far outside of town. Dorms are spacious and there is hot water which is much appreciated for cooler weather.

amazing hostel, super friendly staff, rooms and beds were the best I have stayed in!

Very comfortable stay at Upside Ella! Great location in a quiet area, walking distance to the Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. The staff was fantastic!

Very nice and clean hostel. Only downside is that it is a bit further away from the center.
