I had an excellent stay, as always. Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. The hotel is quiet and airy, with beautiful flowers and bird in the garden. And with a short walk to the wonderful Lalibela churches, it is the perfect place to stay.

It needs lots of improvement from the bathroom to the bedroom. The shower needs more upgrading. There was no TV in the bedroom.

Okay Experience

Given the tight supply of available hotel rooms on Timkat weekend, I paid more for this spot (+$75) than what I imagine they normally charge. All things considered it was an okay experience, but a few things could be improved (I mention below).

部屋はまあまあであついシャワー

教会群までは歩いて30分くらいの距離。 周りは静かではあるが、大きなレストランなどはなくホテルのレストランくらい。 味はまあこんなものといった感じ。 部屋は簡素だがひろくきれい。あついシャワーがでるのが良い。
