Summary: Excellent
Moges Sep 20, 2021 01:38:48 AM
Summary: Beautiful scenery unmatched anywhere else.
Mar 18, 2020 05:42:03 PM
Summary: Beautiful views and attentive staff. The rooms were clean and hot water reasonably available. Although this wasn't a huge surprise, we did all get gastroenteritis from eating at the restaurant at different times during the week. They were often out of food options as well, though there was a big conference going on, so this may have been the reason. This resort is also somewhat overpriced for the amenities and area.
Marta Feb 15, 2020 10:50:51 PM
Summary: Beautiful grounds with many lovely flowers and right on the beautiful Lake Tana. Food is very good, including the breakfast buffet. Some of the rooms have older plumbing, but overall great hotel for the location. Hot water and semi-reliable Wifi.
MR Mar 5, 2019 10:53:03 PM
Summary: This is a beautiful lakeside resort in Bahir Dar. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and modern. Rooms had air conditioning and warm water for showers. Food was pretty good, distinctly Ethiopian.
Robert Dec 30, 2018 11:55:07 PM
Summary: Didn’t have any record of our booking for a second room, but more than made up for it by giving us a family suite instead. Good breakfast. Good location, but the poor design of the hotel doesn’t make the most of it. Small rooms
Margaret Sep 3, 2018 08:34:30 PM
Summary: Excellent hotel overlooking lake Tana. Comfortable and spacious rooms. Food varied local and international. Sitting areas well appointed and beautiful gardens. Can take boat trips to local islands to see churches and history of battles between Ethiopian armies and colonial powers.
Ahmed Aug 27, 2018 12:21:07 PM
Summary: Very clean. Staff very friendly
Sep 18, 2017 06:35:43 PM
Summary: Very nice hotel, nice staff, clean room, just no flat sheet on the bed. That was the only thing I didn't like. Other than that everything was really nice
Pierre May 23, 2017 09:24:49 PM
Summary: This hotel is nicely situated near downtown Dahir Bar and facing Lake Tana. So it is a great place to do excursions on lake Tana to visit the monasteries situated around the lake and on the islands in the lake. The hotel although modern, looks a bit old fashioned and being almost empty (as the state of emergency reduced the tourism) we felt kind of alone in this big resort. But overall staff s friendly and helpful to organize tours and activities.
