Pros:

De lodge is super goed gelegen net naast het fort van Gonder. Ik was ook heel goed verwelkomd door Simon en zijn staff en ze hebben me heel goed geholpen met tips om zo mijn verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken!

Pros:

Simon the owner knows everything you need to know about the city and area. He came with a lot of recommendations and also helped me retrieve my bag from the airport after it had missed a layover flight from Addis, and to find a bus to go to Bahardar in difficult fuel shortage conditions. The hotel is located right next to the castles so you cannot get more central. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Thank you again Simon for your help.

Pros:

Posto perfetto a Gondar, giusto di fianco al Castello. Proprietario incredibile, oltre ad essere gentilissimo, mi ha portato in giro per Gondar a vedere posti nascosti (il forno italiano) e a fare addirittura l’aperitivo 😂

マネージャーの心配りに尽きる。
Pros:

ロケーションが良く、マネージャーの細かい心配りが嬉しかった。スタッフの姿勢も素晴らしく、特にガードマンの対応が心地良かった。
洗濯も女性スタッフが、丁寧にやつてくれた。

Cons:

エントランスががちょっとびっくりしたが、中に入ると中庭があり、ゆったりくつろげる空間があった。

Excellent host, great location, interesting city
Pros:

- Location: 10/10, just next to Fasil Ghebbi/castle complex.
- Accommodation: nice courtyard, good rooms, cute restaurant with a view
- Host: Simon was extremely forthcoming and easy to communicate with. He arranged airport transport and a tour in Gondar. Despite our short stay, we managed to see most of the highlights (Fasil Ghebbi, Debre Birhan Selassi, Fasilides’ Bath) and did a city walk. Transport between sites was arranged with bajajs/tuktuks.
- Extra: we were welcomed with fresh juice and snacks. A good breakfast was also included!
Big recommendation!

Cons:

No te lo pierdas por favor!!!
Pros:

Simon, el dueño. Es lo máximo en atención, en organizar tours a las montañas, en atender tus necesidades sean del tipo que sean. Una experiencia que te recomiendo. Además te vas a reír mucho con el, porque es un personaje total!!!

Cons:

No hay nada que no me gustara. Bueno, es un poco chapas si le das cuartelillo. Pero al mismo tiempo te deshaces de el rápidamente.
