The hotel is conveniently located in the city but away from the hustle and bustle, offering a serene atmosphere with breathtaking views of the lake. The staff provides exceptional Ethiopian hospitality, making guests feel like part of the family. However, the rooms lack a great view, and some additional cleaning efforts would enhance the overall experience.

The hotel is located in the city with stunning views of the lake, providing a peaceful environment away from the urban noise. It's a perfect spot for enjoying cocktails down the grand staircase.

The dining experience offers a variety of fish, chicken, beef, and traditional dishes, but it can be a bit hit and miss. Adding more yogurt and fruit options would be beneficial.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The breathtaking views of the lake were incredible, and the service was warm and friendly. However, the dining experience was just decent, and the location, although nice, could do with some extra cleaning to make it even better.

I stayed in a room with a view of the lake, which was nice. The shower in the large bathroom was excellent. Make sure to get a higher floor room for a better full view.
