Typical Ghion hotel with old dark rooms and minimally cleaned bathrooms. Nice restaurant and bar but the seven olives has better food. They don't have free shuttle service or wifi but not many hotels in lalibela do. Very helpful staff, nothing was beyond their assistance.

There aren't a lot of good hotels in Lalibela, but this is one of them. The staff is great, the place is clean. The room is a bit drab and lacks any sort of fan or A/C, but in general it's a nice place. There is even internet when it's working. The food we had there was actually much better... More

Staff in restaurant were great, especially Jemanesh Mohamed who prepared popcorn and then the best coffee I have had the pleasure to drink. Her smile that evening and whenever she waited on us was outstanding. The accomodation, the food and the staff were excellent.

I have never seen such a fantastic service in any hotel I've ever been call it 5* or so. The management, the people working there are really humble and nice. They are real and the service is really awsome.

This hotel grows on you. Once yopu remember you are in the middle of nowhere in rural ethiopia, it is more that acceptable. The manager bent over backwards to be accomodating, though not always with a smile. The room at first appeared a little dirty, but once the bedspread was removed from the bed it seemed better. A tv and... More

The rooms were identical to other Ghion hotels. However the service at this hotel was fabulous - they should do some coaching at the other hotels. The location of this hotel is a bit of a hike from the churches, but doable. There's a really neat bar (not sure if that's the right word) past the hotel - has ethnic... More

The sweeter of many of the hotels in Lalibela. Beautiful, simple, clean rooms and a wonderful staff. Watch out for the gift-shop employees--they'll try to recruit you to buy their wares at their own shops across the road. Limited hours of hot water, which is okay by me. The food, well, a bit repetitive, but one shouldn't complain when basking... More

Spent a few nights here. My room was nice-with a view of the back of the building. It was quiet-except for the churches in the early morning. I slept with my window open so it must have been very quiet. The pool was not in service at the time but the grounds were nice and the men across the street... More

We ended up at the Roha having failed to get a booking at the Tukul Village. It is very similar to other hotels in the Ghion chain -well situated and well designed, but in need of refurbishment and with disinterested staff. The food was the worst we encountered in the Ghion chain. The hotel has a great location but bizarrely... More
