Reviews and Ratings
I had an unforgettable stay at this hotel perched high on a hill with astonishing views overlooking Gonder. The rooms had a unique setup with a sink by the beds outside of the bathroom, offering a sense of convenience. The service, although not entirely professional, had a few hiccups during my check-out. Despite these minor setbacks, the location was truly exceptional, providing a serene retreat high above the town. The dining options were somewhat limited, offering only a few choices, but the pasta was a decent option. The facilities were adequate, and the overall experience was satisfactory considering the great location.
This hotel is a gem on top of a hill overlooking Gondar. The rooms are beautifully designed in the local style with an astonishingly high terrace offering an amazing view, but service can be improved. The dining experience is limited but the location is quiet with great views.
Perched on a high terrace overlooking Gonder, this hotel offers breathtaking views, but with a quirky room setup having a sink outside the bathroom on levels 2 or 3, and a terrace. The service may lack professionalism and customer service skills, especially during check-out. The location is superb, atop a tall hill with stunning city views, while the dining options are limited, featuring homemade bread.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The astonishingly high terrace overlooking Gonder was impressive, but the unconventional arrangement with a sink by the beds outside of the bathroom on level 2 or 3 was a bit odd. The rooms were beautifully designed in the local style, which added to the charm, but some aspects did not meet expectations.
