Buena ubicacion cerca de la calle principal de Ella. La habitacion muy limpia y la cama cómoda. Vistas espectaculares desde el restaurante y la piscina en la terraza. Personal muy amable y servicial.
Als je niet aan de drukke hoofdstraat van Ella wilt verblijven is deze locatie echt een 10. Uitzicht over heel Ella vanaf de rooftop pool.
Niks!
Location; amazing views from the highest hotel in Ella. Decent breakfast, attentive staff. Fair pricing so great value for money.
Frequent power outages, no backup power available
Location is excellent. View is amazing.
L’établissement est parfaitement situé près du centre ville d’Ella juste en bas. Le personnel est à l’écoute et nous a accueilli chaleureusement. Le petit déjeuner est très bon.
La piscine est très jolie avec une belle vue mais nous n’avons pas pu nous baigner car elle est absolument glaciale. C’est dommage car elle offre une belle vue et nous payons également pour ce service donc je trouve qu’il ne vaut pas forcément son prix.
מלון הממוקם במרחק הליכה ממרכז העיר, אולם יש צורך בעלייה תלולה בכדי להגיע אליו (כשבע דקות), וניתן להיעזר בהסעות של המלון. המיקום צופה על נוף קסום, ומאפשר להתרחק מההמולה והאורות של מרכז אלה. החדרים גדולים ונוחים, ומאובזרים היטב. בגג המלון, בריכה עם נוף קסום. נהדר למשפחות.
The view.
Connectivity to main city. Food.
Here’s a polished version that keeps the review personal and balanced: We stayed at Morning Dew Hotel in Ella for two nights and had a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful hotel with lovely, comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. The restaurant is very nice, and the rooftop pool is a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery—although the water was a little cool during our stay. The location is excellent. It’s just a few minutes walk from Ella’s main street, which has a fantastic selection of restaurants, bars, cafés, spas offering relaxing massages and other treatments, and plenty of nice shops. The hotel is also within easy walking distance of the train station. And speaking of the train, traveling to or from Ella by train is highly recommended—the mountain views along the way are spectacular.
One thing to be aware of is that getting up to the hotel can be a little challenging. The road is quite steep, and a regular taxi—and even a tuk-tuk with two adults—wasn’t able to make it all the way up. However, it’s only a few minutes’ uphill walk, and the hotel also offers a shuttle service to take you up, as long as you arrive before 6 p.m.
The best view in Ella. Brand new hotel with exceptional staff. The rooftop pool & upstairs dining area is amazing.
Sehr sauber; schöne Zimmer; freundliches Personal; sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet; hervorragende Aussicht
Hotel liegt auf steilem Berg, es gibt einen hoteleigenen Shuttle aber nur bis 6 Uhr und einmal war er nicht erreichbar; man kann aber auch hochlaufen wenn man nicht eingeschränkt ist in der Mobilität, aber es ist schon sehr steil vereinzelt und abends nicht überall beleuchtet (für die Aussicht aber klar und der Weg ist es wert)
מלון עם נוף משגע וחדר ענק למשפחה
עלייה קצת קשה למלון מהרחוב המרכזי
Great location right in the heart of Ella. Mountain views and beautiful rooms made staying here a delight. Staff friendly and helpful. Cocktails were amazing while looking out over sensational view.
Only thing was the shuttle up and down to the hotel finished quite early at 6pm. But you can walk up the hill with an average level of fitness.
The hotel is beautiful. the view is amazing. everything was extremely clean. I especially love the incense they burn it smells amazing. The staff was very nice and helpful.
One thing that people need to consider is that the hotel is up a very steep hill. the hotel provides a shuttle until 18:00. Tuktuks refuse and some times physically cannot get up the hill. especially if its raining r there are several passengers.
The place is beautiful with an amazing view the stuff was really kind and helpful. Good choice of food in the morning. Very beautiful views from the balcony in the bedroom and the restaurant and pull.
The hotel is located on a steep hill that the Tuk Tuk drivers are unable to climb all the way and the hotel shuttle service is only available until 18:00 , this made it a bit difficult with the children ( I wouldn't recommend it with young children) The bathroom does not have event or a window that one may open which gives it a very damp smell. By our third night the smell became really too much to handle...
הצוות שירותי באופן מיוחד, אציין לטובה את פרדיפ מהקבלה שנתן לנו שירות מעל ומעבר, דאג לשידרוג החדר וצייד אותנו בארוחת בוקר כשיצאנו לטיול מוקדם( ביוזמתו) . החדרים יפים, מרווחים ומאובזרים, הנוף מדהים
החיסרון המרכזי ואולי היחיד הוא המיקום, אמנם גבוה ולא בתוך המולת העיר אבל הגישה אליו מאתגרת מאוד ( עליה תלולה במיוחד) והשאטל של המלון פעיל רק עד שש בערב. ניתן להגיע עם טוקטוק אך כרוך בתשלום.
החדרים נחמדים , יש בריכה נחמדה על הגג נוף יפה , הצוות אדיב וקשוב
זרם חלש במקלחת חשוב לדעת שהמלון ממוקם בנקודה הכי גבוהה על ההר שירות ההסעה מהמלון למטה והפוך מסתיימים בשעה שש בערב , לאחר מכן אפשר להזמין טוקטוק בעלות של 2 יורו ובודדים מוכנים לעלות את ההר עם הטוקטוק וגם מי שהסכים נתקע באמצע, אפשרי לעלות ברגל אבל מאד מאתגר
The rooms were clean, the view from balcony was good especially on a foggy day after a little rain. Service was prompt. Staff were courteous. Its pretty close by to the main market and restaurant area.
Location is a slight miss. Its uphill and no transport is available if you plan to be out late in the night. Most autos refuse to come up till there due to the climb. Its a 5-7 min walk uphill and can be done easily, however safety may be a slight concern in the dark esp cos there are no lights. To be fair, they have complimentary auto available till 6 pm in the evening and we did not face any unwarranted safety issues for the two nights we walked up post dinner after 10/11pm. Found the hotel a bit expensive, it has 5 star level prices, but the rooms are not spacious and the breakfast is average at best. The breakfast does not give you a 4/5 star feeling. If you are out late at night, no staff is available at reception or anywhere. However, they do give you a number to call and someone attends to your needs asap.
Prachtig uitzicht op de kamer, professioneel hotel misschien tikje formeel, maar heel comfortabel om te verblijven. Personeel is behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Location to the Main Street, and the insane views
צוות מאד שירותי ואדיב, חדרים מרווחים ונעימים, ארוחת בוקר טובה, נוף מהמם.
הבריכה קרה ונמצאת על הגג עם רוחות, לא פרקטית. המיקום קרוב למרכז העניינים אבל המלון בראש גבעה תלולה שדורשת שאטל 4×4 שלא תמיד זמין. יש באלה הרבה הפסקות חשמל.
Excellent service from the staff, very kind and helpful. Facilities were great. View from the restaurant and pool outstanding. Very clean and spacious rooms.
The location up on the mountain meant it was a steep walk to and from the town, however, there is a free shuttle until 6pm.
Amazing pool, friendly staff, great facilities. Good dinner options and a great breakfast buffet. Walking distance from main city, the hotel is at the top of a hill, but they had a free driving service when the legs were tired after a long hike.
Friendly staff, great view, clean, good breakfast, nice (but cold) pool, the beds (new matrass?)
The proporty is located on a very steep (I repeat: very steep) hill. Tuk-tuk drivers consistenly refuse the trip to the hotel at night. Be prepared to walk at evenings and night. No lightning on the path. Young and old, it is challenging. We underestimated the reviews that mentioned this. For this reason, I wouldn’t come back here.
Location
Building work so close and a cold swimming pool
Lovely staff, clean, VERY central location
Pool was cold
Roof top pool was good
The property is located on the top of a very steep hill. Accessed by 4WD or tuk tuk.
Our room was beautiful and very clean, which made our stay super comfortable! 🛏️✨🧼 The way up to the hotel is quite steep, but they offer a great shuttle service, so getting there was never an issue! 🚐💨👌 A special highlight of our stay was Dinujaya 🫠 he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome with his warm hospitality. Thank you so much! 🙌😊 The hotel itself is beautiful: the infinity pool is super cool and perfect for relaxing. 🏊♂️🍹 We were also absolutely amazed by the view from the rooftop terrace – simply outstanding and unforgettable! 🌅📸 We booked half board and were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious every single day, with great variety and quality! 🍽️😋 We would love to come back! Thank you to the whole team!
We loved the incredible 360° views from the mountaintop location, which made the whole stay feel peaceful and unique. The rooftop pool was a fantastic bonus, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the scenery. The included breakfast was generous, tasty, and very much appreciated. The host was also very accommodating and helped us arrange a late checkout for a extra fee, which made our departure much easier.
The location is beautiful, but the climb up the hill is very steep, and there’s no lighting on the path at night. Walking back from the center after dark can be challenging.
Very nice hotel, very helpful stuff, breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Walking, from main road to hotel is a challenge, But hotel car pickup is fast and very convenient.
Stunning views and super close to Ella
Highly recommended
Location and the scenery is wonderful. Very helpful staff , with excellent facilities. The food is very good. Safety is also satisfactory , they provide a shuttle service if needed,.
Incredible views of Ella and surrounds. Very well appointed boutique hotel Great staff, particularly Rahul. Very helpful
Very steep walk up to the hotel but was great exercise!!
У нас был номер с двумя балконами выходящими на разные стороны. На город и на горы. Вид прекрасный. Номер приятный. Уезжать не хотелось. Да, подъём к отелю действительно крутой, но это плата за хороший вид. В целом это не доставляло неудобств. Иногода пользовались трансфером отеля, иногда пешком, иногда нанимали тук тук. Рестран хорший с прекрасным видом, меню очень разнообразное и готовили очень хоршо. Однажды пересолили том ям, но бесплатно заменили без лишних вопросов. Персонал очень внимательный и доброжелательный. Остались тёплые воспоминания. В следющий раз снова тут остановимся. Спасибо!
По вечерам хорошо слышна музыка из близлежащих баров. Но не допоздна. В целом это не испортило впечатлений об отеле, но может кому-то будет полезно знать, что полного уединения и тишины тут не будет. Зато все развлечения города в пешей доступности.
The location has great views of Ella and the staff was great at taking care of us in all aspects.
The internet was shaky at times. There was construction going on that we heard once switched rooms and moved to a lower floor.
Our room was generous in size and the bathroom was excellent. The property has excellent views of the hills and Ella town. The staff were very welcoming. We had a lovely breakfast on the balcony. The property provides a shuttle service for the steep driveway, but it's also a pleasant walk if you take it slow.
The swimming pool was a bit cold in the morning.
Palvelu oli ensiluokkaista. Maisemat hotellihuoneesta olivat aamulla upeat. Hotelli oli hyvässä kunnossa ja viihtyisä
Ilmastointi ei tuntunut aivan riittävän pitämään huonetta viileänä päiväsaikaan. Yöllä se toimi kylläkin riittävän hyvin.
Gorgeous stay, amazing staff, stunning views
Location was on top of a hill where most cars and tuk tuks don’t go. The hotel has a shuttle roll 6 pm but after that hard to get home
Food is not good The way of hotel is very bad
Die Zimmer waren sauber, sehr freundlichen Personal, die Aussiccht auf die Umgebung ist traumhaft.
Die Zufahrt bzw. der Zugang zum Hotel ist sehr steil.
Der Blick auf die Berge vom Bett & sogar von der Dusche aus (Panoramafenster) sind schon sehr besonders und auch der Rooftoppool ist großartig! Dazu extrem freundliches Personal (v.a. Rahul) und tolle Einrichtung. Frühstücksbuffet auch sehr reichhaltig. Und ich wurde kostenlos vom hoteleigenen Shuttle abgeholt & hab ein kostenloses Zimmer-Upgrade bekommen. Man bucht sich dort schon das Rundum-Sorglos-Paket.
Preis ist schon ordentlich, aber lohnt sich, wenn man sich zwischendurch etwas gönnen mag.
Staff and services
It was very beautiful and peaceful with incredible scenery
The location is beautiful but a little isolated on top of a hill. The hotel offers a free shuttle service but it is something to consider
Beautiful hotel with stunning views. We were given a welcome tea at the roof top when we arrived by lovely, friendly staff. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, they all do whatever they can to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The location is brilliant, walking distance to restaurants and bars.
Nothing - it was perfect.
Lovely position lovely views Walking distance to town Friendly staff Big comfy bed with duel views from both sides of the room Great food highly recommend
L’emplacement et la vue du rooftop
Le prix beaucoup trop élevé pour la prestation très basique ! Hôtel sans charme et petit déjeuner médiocre au sous-sol de l’hôtel. La seule vue est sur le rooftop qui est sous exploité.
Very good staff and exceptional hotel.
נוף מושלם מלון מקסים נמצא ממש בגובה כדי להגיע למלון יש לעלות עלייה מאוד חדה מעייפת מעט למי שקצת קשה לו , משהו שצריך לקחת בחשבון
great location, great people
Nice roof top pool. Good sized bedroom. Attentive staff and good breakfast. The views are stunning.
Balcony in the shade. Mouldy blind in shower area. Really steep hill to get up from Ella but to be fair to the hotel they provide a shuttle for you.
Res
Difícil conseguir un expresso als matins. Qualitat del esmorzar molt decebedora. Habitació gran i neta.
Vår vistelse på morning dew var bra. Hotellet som sådant var bra. Bra rum och sängar, rent och bra städning, bra mat och restaurang och en fantastisk utsikt från terrassen på taket.
Palvelu oil ylellistä ja maisemat taivaalliset. Family room tilava.
Naapuri ravintoloista kovaa kuulunut musiikki klo 23 saakka. Kävellen hotellille saavuttaessa vaatii hyvää kuntoa koska todella jyrkkä ylämäki.
The view is amazing
A little bit to pricey
The food was excellent and the service was top tier. The view is unbeatable. Would come back again!
Great breakfast, exceptionally friendly staff, good dinner and cocktails, pool was lovely but very cold. Views were so beautiful, very close to town but still quiet.
The only downside is the steep hill up to the hotel. I’d read about it in reviews but didn’t realise how steep and long it would really be. Hotel provides shuttle until 6pm which is great but doesn’t help in the evenings. Even tuk tuks get stuck!
The staff are extremely nice and helpful
It’s on top of a steep hill, but if you are under 50 it’s ok
Views were ok
Do not understand how this was $300USD a night for a twin room. Really overpriced, no ventilation in shower, no gym,
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The breakfast was very good, with a great variety. The views were absolutely stunning and made our stay even more special. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful, always welcoming and ready to assist with anything we needed. Overall, a fantastic experience and a place we would happily return to.
Bed linen was clean.
So much in their property description is misleading. The property is situated on a very very steep hill which is not accessible by tuk or larger vehicles. On the hotel description they offer a shuttle service, what they fail to tell you is that the shuttle is necessary to get to and from the property and the shuttle is a one man service that ends at 6pm. The roads are so dark, windy and steep that it's almost impossible to navigate after dark. Trying to check out has been a nightmare, we have waited well over an hour to be taken into town. We also felt like we were pressured to cancel our reservation through booking.com after paying upfront, we were tired and agreed without too much question but this seems to be standard practice as they did the same to another of our party.
Everything was great including the views from the room and the top floor. Overall its located very near to the Ella town with all restaurants and cafes
Slightly above the main road. Its at a very steep location. However, the hotel provides a comfortable car to drop to the main road. Its accessible by foot as well just takes a 15 mins of careful walk (in case its raining)
Fantastisk utsikt! Väldigt trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. God frukost. Fräscht badrum. Det var lite utmanande läge högt uppe på bergstoppen via en brant stig/ väg, men hotellet erbjöd gratis shuttle service med en jeep 4x4 och hjälp med bagage. Vanlig bil klarar inte stigningen.
The staff were exceptional and the breakfast was excellent, the views were amazing
The hill to get to it, tuk tuk could not get up
Our room was big and the buffet breakfast was good.
They asked us to cancel our Booking.com booking on arrival and instead pay directly to the hotel. The taxi service they offered us was 3x the price of any other taxi in town. The hotel is actually on a huge hill and means the walk to and from Ella town is made very very difficult, even for us two young people.
The room was a good size and great views. Staff in the restaurant were nice and attentive.
The customer service was underwhelming. Reception staff often unhelpful and at times rude. Incredibly overpriced for what was provided. The food was overcooked and cold. Facilities in the room were not working properly. Laundry charges were extortionate. Could not access the pool despite the price we paid as external guests were given priority.
Quartos grande e limpos com vista muito bonita das montanhas e da cidade. Decoração bonita, boa piscina e bar.
Localização pessima. Fica no alto da montanha com acesso dificil por a rua ser muito estreita e ingreme. Somente o carro 4x4 do hotel e alguns tuk tuks contratados do hotel conseguiam subir. Ou seja, vc tem que pegar o carro do hotel para te levar com suas malas para baixo para encontrar com seu motorista ou taxi. Os tuk tuls normais da cidade nao aceitavam fazer a corrida. Apos as 18h o servico de transporte se encerra portanto vc tem q ir a pe. O cafe servido durante o cafe da manhã é ruim
