Deshadan Mountain Resort

This place was just ok for a hotel in India. It’s so far up a mountain that access to outside food and drivers are slim, so you are at the hotel’s mercy for pretty much anything. The balcony was nice and so was the view. No ac in this hotel, and no mosquito nets. There was a really old plug in fan in the room though and it didn’t really fit well with the rest of the room. None of the outlets worked. They are the old India outlets, so the front desk had to bring up their converters. Not the best experience, but not the worst.

Nice resort on top of the hill. All the facilities were very good. Highly recommend all travelers to Munnar, to make use of the resort.

Amazing views and awesome service. It’s a bit hard to get to so be prepared and call ahead for directions

Beautifully located in a quiet mountain, rustic location with wonderful views on the Munnar area, this hotel offers spacious and bright rooms with comfortable beds, well equipped bathrooms, helpful and polite staff. An inspiring spot for a day or two. Note you'll require a car/cab to get there. Ps: wifi signal could be improved

the location of this hotel is very nice , nice view from the room; but the room is not clean and not maintain well , staff are freindly

Rooms were clean Bathrooms needs improvement; the shower stall/bath tub are not good. They should consider installing a proper ceramic bath tub; instead of the tiled seperation. Water is every where in the bath room. The whole bath needs remodelling and needs to bring it to western standard. Food is fresh cooked but quality medicore. They should consider hiring a better cook. Staff and service was great; probably one of the best

Deshadan has a beautiful location, actually the clouds are enetering your room when you open the balcony doors and quietness of the environments soothers city stressed nerves. However, to get there is a bit of a problem, the way is a bit stip: without your vehicle be ready to spend lots of money on greedy rikshaws, with your own vehicle be super attentive on the road and use only 1st gear, ALso because of the road, once you get back to hotel there is not much wish to return to the city, so you stay in your room. During our stay (2 nights) the TV dish wasnt working, because of cloudy weather and apart from playing chess there wasnt much you could do at the hotel. I guess management needs to look into it, and provide guests with DVDs or other entertainments for the cases of bad weather when tv doesnt work. The food was good, rooms were nice, comfortable, the personnel was very polite and friendly, the hotel is well-maintained. Even the hard approach to it can be a plus point as its a beautiful way with small waterfalls and rich vegetation. However, once again, be prepared that its quite isolated, and there is not much to do at the hotel.

i had read about this hiighest location resort. lucky to get room 703 . the view from balcony was really breathtaking. we stayed on 1st May . the vast valley , moovement of clouds, vast expanse of valley, feeling at the highest point made a memorable stay. Dinner was good. complimentary beakfast was disappointment, neither quality of food nor service was ok. but i eud recommend merely for the view from balconyo

We had stayed at Deshadan for 3 nights in 3 rooms for family vacation in valley view rooms. The hotel is overall nice and offers good valley and mountain views from rooms as it is claimed to be the highest hotel in South India lurching on a hill. However, the final approach road of 1 KM is very bad, steep and hence risky to drive (1st Gear drive only). It is poorly maintained as hotel claims its owned by Forest Dept but because of that our driver always used to resist driving up & down more than 1 time in a day. At night its particularly tricky to climb up. The valley view rooms are quite good with a very nice sit-out gallery. The activity centre is badly maintained with just carrom, chess, table tennis and a broken fooseball table.But again the food is a let-down as there is very less variety and quality is just ok. So if you want to go out for lunch & dinner both then you have to go through the ordeal of steep up & down road more than once daily. Overall, its value for money if you dont mind the hassle of up & down commute every day!!

The views from the hotel are spectacular. The bed was clean but the room generally was old. The floor was also quite dusty and dirty - definitely needs some revamp. Decent service and nice staff. Probably one of the better hotels in the area.

The Hotel is located in the top of the mountain and Fantastic valley view from the hotel. Hotel service and the food is average but you can enjoy very well in the hotel.

Though a bit dated, Deshadan Mountain Resort is probably one of the best locations in Kerala - possibly the highlighted location for a hotel. It is a bit of a drive to get there but well worth it. We booked the deluxe room with the Valley views and were rewarded by breathtaking views from the balcony of the vast valley (tea plantations/ villages below) and distant mountain range. Luckily we took a pair binoculars and were able to watch and even take photos of birds and other species. Staff at the hotel were very helpful and courteous. Highly recommended for an over night stay.

Great views, spacious rooms let down by some ordinary customer service. I would still recommend this place as it is peaceful, serene with great views of mountains and valleys with tea gardens. The staff need training and need to attend to requests. They ignore the most simple requests and have to be reminded numerous times . The bathroom had some mouldy smell that was addressed by room freshner finally.

Bathroom was so stinking that we couldn't enter into the bathroom. Hot water was not available. No tea facility available in the room. Room service was very poor.

Enjoyed, room service need to attend room immediately.

amazing views are what makes this hotel truly special - a great place to stay if you want to be outside of the mania of munnar.

This property is located at the highest peak of Munnar, so you witness some breathtaking views from your room balconies... No words to explain the Mist under your feet while you stand and admire the view from ur balcony. This is the best part of the stay... Hotel can improve a lot in its food quality & service levels.

Perfect for Honeymooners.... The View from the Garden View Rooms are breathtaking.... Worth the money....

Very nice mountain view and clean and nice rooms. We enjoyed the stay and the warmth of the staff,especially Mr Baiju. The breakfast is good,but the buffet dinner needs improvement in taste. Mobile signal of BSNL works the best, but Vodaphone signal is also available. Airtel signal is very weak. Reliance data card works very very slowly and intermittently.
