Situated in Ella, 4.7 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Hive Ella - Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 50 km from Horton Plains National Park, 600 metres from Ella Spice Garden and 700 metres from Ella Railway Station. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Hakgala Botanical Garden is 49 km away. I recently stayed at Hive, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best hostels I’ve experienced in my travels. The atmosphere was incredibly social and welcoming everyone was so friendly, and there were activities every night that brought people together. A special thanks to Gehan, who was super helpful with all the information I needed. Funny enough, visiting Ella wasn’t even in my original plan I came here on a friend’s recommendation but it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my Sri Lanka trip. Another highlight was meeting Alex, who made the evenings extra special with fun games and a family dinner outing. Most of the games were completely new to me, which made it even more exciting to learn and join in. Everything about Hive Hostel was warm, fun, and memorable. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ella, and I’m already looking forward to going back soon!
