The location is great. The beds were super comfortable and staff were really friendly and helpful. Really big lockers. Only stayed one night but really enjoyed my stay.

Laura Bahamas

Perfect location-close to everything (train station, restaurants/bars, starting point for hikes to little adam’s peak and ella rock), has a good view, the staffs were really nice and very helpful, the room was clean, facilities were good.

Lily United Arab Emirates

Friendly staff, clean rooms and premises. Good for solo travelers.

Andrewseansl Sri Lanka

The location is perfect 👌. Around 100m from the station itself. Staff is friendly and helpful and will guide you to see all the scenic places around the town. The dormitory is is spacious with a separate washroom per dormitory. You can put your luggage in the lockers (bring your own padlocks). The bed was clean and comfortable to sleep. Overall, it's a fantastic place to chill and enjoy a good time with folks if you are a person who would like to meet new people while traveling 😄

Ramal Sri Lanka

Helpful and friendly staff Rooms are spacious and comfy Great social atmosphere without being too loud or overbearing - perfect balance for Ella

Jacinta Australia

The property’s location is just a few meters away from Ella Train station. The common lounge/dinning area is ideal for meeting future friends. The reception has contact to local services like laundry and day tours arround Ella.

Mervin Philippines

Room was spacious,clean and very organized. And the card entrance was one good thing. The staff including the host shehan was very friendly helpful and welcoming.the surroundings were good and the deck to chill out was amazing.

Sheehan Sri Lanka

The location of this hostel is amazing. Right outside of the train station in the heart of Ella town. The dorm room is spacious and clean with private bathroom for each room. There are also public shower room when it gets crowded. I definitely had one of the best hot showers in awhile in Sri Lanka at hangover hostel! The staff there were also extremely friendly and helpful. Shehan in particular was a great help once he found out I had a tight schedule to reach to airport the next day. He helped me to arrange airport pickup at Kandy in case my train delayed!! Luckily it didn’t happen and I made it back home just fine! I highly recommend Hangover Hostel in Ella for its convenient location, amazing staff, chill environment and its great value!

Wing United States of America

Guys running the hostel are super helpful! Great location right next to the Main Street and train station. Clean room and a great place to meet other backpackers!

Steven Switzerland

Nice backpacker hostel in Ella. Dorm rooms were clean and comfortable, and staff were helpful at organizing tours and transportation. Location could not be better, just a 2 minute walk from the train station.
