The experience

Hello, my name is Gihan, and just a few months ago ,I made my dream come true by opening my own hostel in Ella. Through the hostel, I aim to create a relaxed, family-feel and social environment, giving our guests amazing memories from their travels! Since opening, our hostel has become a popular destination and I'm proud to say that we were recently recognised as the Best New Hostel in Asia. I can't wait for you to be part of the team!
