We stayed at this hotel as part of a tour group, so can’t comment on price/value. The room we had was basic but comfortable. The beds were good. The room has a wash basin separate from the bathroom. No air conditioning but should not be needed. Not much storage room. . It is away from town on top of a... More

Well past its former glory this large hotel with helpful staff is in dire need of a makeover. The location, on a hill overlooking the stelae field is one of the best in town and the patio/terrace bar is great for a beer. However my room was stiflingly hot, ceiling fans are yet to catch on in Ethiopia it seems,... More

The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean. The view from the terrace was very nice. The diner was ok . The only thing that was bad was the breakfast.

This is a quite decent hotel with the best location to explore the historical sites of Aksum. The staff were very relaxed and generally friendly, the rooms all had a bath, which was great and, apart from the bedbugs, the standard of cleanliness seemed OK. The restaurant terrace has good views and the traditional Ethiopian cuisine is well prepared. The... More

Yeha Hotel boasted itself as the best hotel in town. The truth - this place had its glory days many generations ago. It's now just a glorified dump. I stayed here for one night. The reason I chose this hotel was because of its location, overlooking the Stelae Park and St. Mary of Zion Church. The view is over-rated. I... More

This is quite a large hotel which looks pretty good, in a great setting with a wonderful view over the stele fields. It has a nice bar area (with very expensive beer) and a large restaurant however it is the domain of the big groups (Italians and Germans) who are noisy, dominate the restaurant and are like a plague of...

In fact I don´t remember very much about Yeha Hotel either positive or negative. Only the view I remember was nice from the balcony over Axum. The Yeha Hotel now is private but we didn´t notice any difference from a state owned hotel. We know because they said us. The room was a little strange but was ok, and the... More

The Yeha Hotel stands on a tree-covered hill overlooking the town, the main stellae fields, the Queen of Sheba's baths and the Cathedral of Tsion Maryam. There is a terrace where one can enjoy a meal and/or drink, admire the colourful birds and the view. While not the worst of the hotels we used on a two-week tour of the... More

Stayed 3 nights. Staff were generally poor except for the porters and an assistant manager who worked very hard. The good points were the internet which is cheap and easily accessed behind the reception. Laundry service also cheap and quick. Nice garden full of birds. Food is inconsistent but not as bad as made out. Breakfast is ok with good... More

Another hilltop converted prison from the old government chain, now I believe, independent. Very tired 70s style which might pass as retro in some New York Bohemian boutique hotel, but here just looks old, worn and depressing. Rooms are exactly the same as all the other government chain hotel rooms, exact same decoration, exact same layout and in my case,... More
