Why Rock View

Right in the centre of it all.

A warm, welcoming hostel on Main Street in the heart of Ella, Sri Lanka — minutes from the train station, the bus stand and the trail up to Ella Rock. Ask any of the team and they'll point you toward the trail up Ella Rock, Little Adam's Peak, or a tuk-tuk out to Nine Arch Bridge for sunrise.

Guest Story

Amazing terrace view, friendly and helpful staff, and a well-equipped kitchen. The host went out of their way to help us organise tours and figure out the local transport — central location near good restaurants and transport too.
