    The hostel was beautifully maintained with lovely decor that brought a sense of tranquility. The common areas were spacious and comfortable, making it easy for senior people like me to relax and unwind. Additionally, I found the hostel to be easily accessible, with well-maintained paths and ramps that made it convenient for me to navigate around the property.

    If I had to ask for one thing to make the vacation better for senior people, it would be to have more assistance available from the staff. While the children working there were friendly and helpful, having additional support for the needs of senior guests would have been appreciated.

    I recently stayed at Escapade Hostel By Nomadic for 3 nights and it was the best hostel experience I've had in Sri Lanka. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet within walking distance of Ella Rock and the Bridge. I loved starting my mornings with yoga in the beautiful greenery surrounding the hostel. The staff went above and beyond by picking me up from the railway station. The dorms were spacious and had lockers available. a wonderful and clean hostel with friendly staff and a homely atmosphere.

    Would be happy to recommend this hostel.

    We loved the amazing mountain view from the hostel's big veranda, perfect for chilling and meeting other backpackers. the fact that they provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner means you don't need to go anywhere else. the location is great, with easy access to Ella rock and the famous bridge. the owner and staff were incredibly friendly and took great care of us, even when we got sick. a perfect spot for nature lovers and hikers.

    Felt like home, no complaints at all.

    The owner of this hostel is incredibly helpful and makes you feel at home. The food is delicious and much cheaper than in town. The first pick up from Ella is free. The staff is absolutely lovely and provides tuk tuk rides and guides for expeditions. The view is stunning and the site is quiet. Great location close to Ella Rock trail and a short walk to town. Dorms are small but okay, good place to meet other travelers. Outstanding location, beautiful walk to town. Evening dinners and common spaces are very nice with a cozy atmosphere. Great for meeting other travelers.

    I had a fantastic stay at Escapade Hostel By Nomadic in Ella. The location was amazing, surrounded by beautiful nature and with amazing views of the rice fields and river. Starting my hikes to Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak right from the hostel was a dream. The simplicity of the place was just what I needed, and I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

    The only minor drawback I experienced was that the pillow cover in my room was stained. I quickly solved this by using a scarf to cover the pillow.

    The location was amazing, nestled into the side of a mountain with views of lush farms and the train tracks. The hostel itself was a renovated farmhouse, oozing with charm and character. The dorm rooms were comfortable and clean, each with their own attached bathroom. The highlight of my stay was the family-style dinner in the evening, where I had the opportunity to connect with other travelers and share stories. The owner and staff were kind, gracious, and helpful. I was like I was staying in someone's home rather than a hostel. The peaceful and serene environment allowed me to connect with nature and recharge. I highly recommend this hostel for those seeking a tranquil and picturesque getaway.

    The surrounding natural beauty was breathtaking, making it perfect for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. We enjoyed taking a dip in the cool waters of a nearby beach, where we had the chance to mingle with the friendly locals. It was a great opportunity for our children to make new friends and explore the local culture.

    For dads, it would be great if the hostel had a small playground or recreational area for children.

The hostel itself was well-maintained and had great facilities. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the terrace and common spaces were very nice. The meals served were delicious, with lunch and dinner being particularly tasty. The hostel had a social vibe, making it a great place for solo travelers and for meeting other travelers. the cleanliness, hotel facilities, location, breakfast, and staff were all excellent.

    Nothing it was perfect.

    Very nice views! The hostel is nestled in the hills, offering amazing scenery. Sitting in the outdoor social area, enjoying the quiet setting and admiring the views, was pure bliss. The staff, especially Mr Dias, were amazing and accommodating. The hostel is also conveniently located for hiking Ella rock. I highly recommend this hostel for nature lovers seeking a peaceful retreat with magnificent views.

    The location of this hostel is ideal for nature lovers as it is nestled on top of a hill and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Guests can easily access hiking trails like Ella Rock and enjoy stunning views from the terrace. the hostel offers a large common room and laundry facilities for convenience.

    The hostel is a bit remote and lacks nearby dining options, so guests should plan ahead for meals.
