This place is quite expensive for what you get...which is a room with very old beds, bug, and plumbing problems. The restaurant was also not inspiring. The view is nice, but you can get a nice view almost anywhere in Lalibela...I would not recommend staying here until they undergo serious renovation....as for about 100 bir more, you can stay in...

This hotel was fine: clean rooms, food was OK. There was a mix up with our booking which was a bit annoying - apparently we were meant to reconfirm. It meant we spent one night in the more expensive room with balcony and two in the cheaper ground floor rooms without. The cheaper ones were basic but we were happy... More

Arriving in Lalibela after Axum, the Jerusalem Hotel offered a much appreciated clean room with balcony overlooking the valley. The room wasnt perfect, but the bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom had its suprises, after a shower the floor flooded but we coped.Lighting was erratic . The sunset was truly magnificent, you need a balcont to appreciate this. Very... More

The Jerusalem Hotel is in a small but attractive complex on the outskirts of Lalibela. Reception, open and covered seating and a restaurant are in mature gardens at the front. At the rear is a three storey block of rooms, with stunning views across the town and the surrounding countryside. I counted eleven ranges of hills. The sunset was a... More

We were very happy here - at the quiet end of town and not far from the Churches, if you had a guide who took you by the short cut to the ticket office! We used the Guide from the TESFA office just down the road (and Highly Recommended for mountain trekking). The Manager was very helpful, providing a wonderful... More

The staff were just so friendly and helpful, all our requests were accommodated. The rooms were spacious, clean, had great views facing west so we witnessed beautiful sunsets every evening. They had a guide meet us at the airport and with him we visited all the churches in Lalibela, and also Yemrehane Christos. Their restaurant food is also very good.... More

Our two first choices for lodging were booked so we were fortunate to find the Jerusalem Hotel for two nights. The front office staff were attentive and professional. The outdoor lobby was a pleasant area with a TV and several tables/seats for drinks and snacks. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast and lunch and both were good with a... More
