This is a super chill hostel. When I went there there wasn't anything organised and there wasn't much social vibe, but the areas for hanging out or relaxing are really really good so if you want a place to relax at the end of the day this is good. It's a little difficult to find the guy running the place as it's just him and he is often running around doing jobs, so maybe a contact number on a sign would be helpful to assist with checking in because it's a bit confusing when you arrive.

I have spent only one night in the hostel as stop in Ella. Even if it has been very short I have to say only one thing; W O W !!! I am very glad for chosing this structure for the night. The name of the hostel is not only metaphorical, the place is indeed between the tree branches up the hill the hill, from that you can really enjoy the beatiful view between the main road and the horizont. Staying in this place is an experience. It is only few min from the main road for the night life.

Loved this hostel. The owner is so so nice and helpful and makes amazing breakfast every morning. The beds are super comfy and have nice fluffy blankets which are so cozy. No AC in the dorms but not needed because it gets a bit chilly in the evenings. Perfect location. Facilities are nothing special but do the job.

Sehr cooles Hostel mit chilligen Vibe. Viele Möglichkeiten zum chillen. Super Ausblick von allen 3 Decks über Ella. Einzige Nachteil das es direkt an der Hauptstraße liegt. Ohrenstöpsel sollte man zum schlafen haben, da die Zimmer oben nicht komplett geschlossen sind. Und vielleicht einen Pulli zum schlafen. Inhaber sehr lieb und zuvorkommen. Ausreichendes Frühstück jeden Morgen.

the staff is super nice and polite and the location is fine, however very average facilities, not very clean and smell of trash coming from the restaurant next to the hostel which is really overpowering. Additionally, we had booked in advance a 4 bedroom mixed dorm to be together but once we arrived they told us 2 of the beds had been given away, so we had to split. Unfortunately we did not have pleasant roommates and I spent one night sleepless. Not ideal.

The hostel owners are so friendly and helpful! The place seems to attract really friendly and chatty backpackers with a lovely restaurant to hang out and meet people. Also a great place to chill with the hammocks over looking the tea plantations. There’s some great local restaurants in the location too!

Really lovely hostel! One min walk from the main road of Ella, and partially overlooking the railway. The hostel itself is so cozy and the owners are so kind and welcoming. The beds were really comfy too. All round good vibes 💞

Cute Hostel with a lovely common area. Could be a bit cleaner. While we were there, there was a construction site and it was noisy during the day. There were no other guests besides us, so I can't comment on the social activities. Breakfast was delicious and sufficient.

I have stayed twice at this hostel as I loved the vibe here so much, and the staff are so friendly. In a great location in the main town area. Dorm rooms are simple but cosy. There is a restaurant just upstairs where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Love it here.
