Great view of the surrounding countryside. Clean comfortable rooms. Hot water. Friendly service. Food was decent if not great. Careful some teenagers who hang out outside the hotel area may try to get you to buy them a textbook (I believe they sell them back to the book store).

Perched on a hill on the edge of town this place has the pick of the views of the surrounding mountains. Probably not unique for long as new buildings are going up all around, but for now it is still one of the nicest places to stay. The rooftop terrace is lovely for a sundowner and staff were helpful and... More

We spent three nights in Lalibela, two nights in the Mountain View and one night in the Tukul Village. Yes the view from the Mountain View is stunning, but it is not unique. On the other hand the hotel is poorly managed, food and drink is overpriced and quite mediocre, and the rooms are not well cleaned. The beds are... More

For the moment this is the best hotel in Lalibela, not very difficult. The views are magnificent, and the best thing i can say is that they offer WIFI in the room. the price was 70USD. Hotel is worn out, should have spent some money keeping it afloat as this hotel it is indeed quite new. Hot water, but very... More

This place is very good if you want great views from your bedside and peace and quiet. The rooms a pretty standard, but with a nice balcony with a great view. Very bad breakfast and the restaurant was average. Very pushy with high prized tours - beware! However sleeping with the balcony door open and waking up to that beautiful... More

This is the best place to stay in Lalibela. The rooms are a bit drafty, we were there in September. They are also sprayed every day with bug spray to keep the bugs away. We never had any issues with bugs, however, you do have to deal with the smell. There really isn't anything they can do about that. It... More

The architecture and location of the hotel are impressive. It is built using local ochre-colored stones on a hilltop and about one kilometer away from the city. The view from the terrace (and the rooms) is wonderful. The interior is spacious with a restaurant serving Ethiopian specialties. Rooms are comfortable with modern facilities that actually function. The staff and manager,... More
