England COUPLE 18-24 Apr 1, 2026 Atm 80%

The hostel was nice. The common areas were good with a water filter, fridge and lots of seating. Coffee and tea aswell. The location is ok, the walk up the hill is about 10 minutes but not too bad. Nice to be away from the loud main road a bit. The room was sweet and cosy but could be a bit more refreshed and cleaner. We came at a quiet time but the hosts were still very proactive in organising activities and offering us meet-ups with other hostels. I’m sure when it’s busier then it’s buz...

Es war schwer mit anderen Reisenden in Kontakt zu kommen, weil der Common Room etwas spärlich eingerichtet war. Abgesehen davon war die Hauptstraße aber sehr schnell fußläufig sehr gut erreichbar. Die Bäder wirkten sehr neu eingerichtet, aber die Betten wirkten manchmal sehr instabil, gerade wenn man im Dorm das Bett oben hatte.

Great location slightly away from the main street. Ella town 3 mins walk.Nine arch bridge 20 mins walk. The hostel organised daily activities like walks to Ella Rock and meditation centre. Cafe had good options for food also.

Good location, close to nine arch bridge and little Adams peak starting point. Short walk to centre of town. I stayed in a 4 dorm and it was nice and spacious. You’re not giving a key though but you can lock it from the inside. The common area is right outside the dorms as it’s a small hostel, so would be able to hear people at night if they were chatting. The staff organise a fair bit of activities to do which were good.

ood location, everything walkable to centre, train station, bridge, hikes. Good breakfast at their coffee place. Social vibe and daily activities. Lockers available. Dorms are a bit noisy, especially when the hostel is full and maybe noise from a generator. Beds comfy, but little bit wobbly. Bathroom is okish, good shower

We enjoyed our stay at the Avocado hostel a lot. As a couple we chose the double room which had plenty of room, a big bathroom, and a comfortable bed (which was a bit shorter than we expected, ~1.90m so it is not made for tall persons). Aka was a wonderful host, who help us with some really important personal stuff. Our holiday would have had a more stressful ending if he had not been so great. The cafe downstairs served delicious breakfast and a great cappuccino! We would come back any time.

It’s a nice spot with a cool location and great breakfast. It wasn’t too clean but also not dirty.

Very noisy hostel right next to the main street, a loud bar and a large construction site (which isn't the hostel's fault). Rooms and bathroom were clean. Not very social, but staff was friendly and made an effort.

The hotel is ideally located: not on the main street, so it’s quiet, but still very easy to access. It’s also about a 10-minute walk to Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge. I had breakfast included and it was very good, with something different each day and not too spicy. Overall, the stay was comfortable.

Sehr nettes Hostel. Der Besitzer kümmert sich täglich um Aktivitäten und gibt gute Tips um die Gegend zu erkunden, ohne dabei irgendwie aufdringlich zu sein.

Ich kann das Hostel nur empfehlen. Man hat zwar keine schöne Aussicht und die Ausstattung ist nicht super modern aber die Stimmung ist echt schön dort. Der Besitzer gibt sich so viel Mühe alle zusammen zubringen und organisiert viel und hilft einem bei allem. Ich hab mich super wohl dort gefühlt. Das Frühstück ist auch super und mein Highlight war die cooking Class im Hostel.

Ich habe hier sehr gut geschlafen. Es war nicht laut und das Frühstück im Café darunter war sehr sehr lecker. Jeden Tag hat man ein anderes Gericht erhalten.

A very nice hostel to stay at with activities organised every day 😊 Not much of a social vibe in the evenings in the hostel itself but the common space is comfortable, the rooms are big. Hot water is a bit of a hit & miss.
