Geweldige locatie, goed personeel, schone kamers
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Niks!

Bien
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

מקום מומלץ למשפחות, עם נוחות מירבית במיקום משגע.
Pros:

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.

Overall, Morning Dew is a highly recommended hotel in a highly recommended town. We would happily stay here again!
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Pros:

Sehr sauber; schöne Zimmer; freundliches Personal; sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet; hervorragende Aussicht

Cons:

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)

amazing. I have been before and will come back!
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.
