One of the best hotel in Gondar. Staff don’t speak much English, it’s a popular event place for locals. So you need to expect some noises

The hotel is in pretty worn conditions, quite hot at night, average restaurant. The nice thing is the pool, but please note that it's not restricted to hotel guests, so when we arrived on a Sunday, it was completely full with day users. So, in summary, the hotel is pretty average and the pool is nice.

International style accommodation in Gondar
The hotel is very clean and the staff are very helpful. The pool looks good however we did not use it. Breakfast had many choices and including western dishes. Compared to Ethiopia the bed was comfortable and the towels were great. Specifically we could not close the bathroom door and our shower was not comfortable to operate. We had no working wifi in the room, unless we stood by the door.

Great option at the more luxurious end in Gondar
This is a (relatively) more expensive but very good option in Gondar. It's conveniently placed, in a beautiful setting, and benefits from a slick and comfortable restaurant on the premises. The outside terrace is great for an evening drink while watching the sun set over Gondar. If you're planning to hike the Simiens and you book the return night at the resort, then they will store your luggage for free. We were also upgraded to a Junior Suite without any particular reason we could ascertain. Water pressure is not great in the showers but I think that's more to do with Gondar than the hotel. The staff were great - warm, friendly and engaged. If you're a bit tired of roughing it this makes for a very nice change of pace at (by western standards) an affordable price.

Comfortable stay
We stayed here before and after our Simien Mountains bike. Service is great and they include complimentary airport pick up and drop off. Both rooms we stayed in were comfortable and had everything we needed. They are dark though when the sun goes down. Lighting is not very good. WiFi is terrible in the rooms though, you can only get it when you’re standing right up against the door. Better to just go outside to the lobby to use it which can be inconvenient at times. I would stay there again if I went back to Gondar

Bad check in experience - no towels provided and had to ask 4 times over the course of 5 hours before we got them. Bedsheets were also very damp and weren't changed until hours after we asked. Bathroom ventilation system was awful, could smell toilets and cigarette smoke from neighbouring room. Room walls paper thin, sandwiched between a noisy family and a guy who had his TV on full blast past 11pm until we reported it to reception. Lack of ventilation in the room, became incredibly hot in the morning. No kettle in room, no lift/elevator on the property either. Phone didn't work and no contact number sheet provided for calling reception quickly. Lack of conveniently placed power sockets in room. Free airport transfer was helpful however, WiFi decent and the breakfast was not bad.

The view of the Castle is good as is the location quite near the centre of town. The property has a very nice 16m. swimming pool which was functional at least during my visit. The restaurant has a wide choice and was pretty good

They provided me with an excellent guide. The breakfast was good but the dinner that I had was inedible. Also Ethiopians seated next to me eating traditional Ethiopian food said it was just barely ok. Stay there for the hotel part but don’t eat anything there except breakfast, would be my recommendation.

Wonderful staff, but a bit maintanance required
Staff was wonderful, as usual in Ethiopia. Wifi signal was too weak in my room, had to connect from the corridor. Lighting in the room insufficient, most sockets didn't work. No mosquito net. Breakfast ok. No elevator (not a big deal for me, but could be an issue for others). Location is very good, quite close to the Four Sisters restaurant and not far away from the castle.

Sehr gutes Hotel aber teuer
Für atiopische Verhältnisse sehr gutes Hotel. Sehr freundliches zuvorkommendes Personal. Sehr saubere große Zimmer. Ordentlicher TV . Bad müsste erneuert werden aber heiße Dusche. wIFI funktioniert da Router vor dem Zimmer installiert. Kühlschrank kühlt kaum . Wasserkocher im Zimmer. Frühstück für Äthiopien reichhaltig und auch westliche Gerichte und Eierspeisen. Obst Brot. Preis leider zu hoch.
