Awesome comfortable stay at Lalibela!
Pros:

My room was very comfortable and had a lovely view. The staff are very kind and attentive, and helped in any way possible. The meals prepared at the restaurant were simple but nice at a very reasonable price. The hotel is a 10 min walk from the churches and has a good selection of bars/restaurants nearby. They offered an excellent airport pick up and drop off. Very good value!

Cons:

The breakfast was a bit simple, it would have been nice to have the option of getting some fruit or juice. The room wasn't cleaned on a daily basis, but the management did ask if I wanted it cleaned, so Im sure they would do it if requested.

The best place to Stay in Lalibela
Pros:

Staying at this hotel was a great, peaceful experience for my partner and I. Birhan made us feel welcomed, safe and informed. Organised our trip to see Lalibela Church's and our fantastic guide. We are very appreciative of our stay and would highly recommend staying at this hotel with kind people.
Birhan is always there to answer any questions before and during your stay. The hotel itself is beautiful with amazing scenic views of the mountains from your windows.
Inside your room you have beautiful handmade furnitures with detail. All in all you will not regret your stay here! Thanks Birhan again
