"Disappointing that there was no wi-fi, it was loud (loud shop directly across from the hotel), and the room security seemed questionable.
It had a great low price so a good place if you need a cheap place to stay with a great location - but not a place I would go to rest and get work done. "

Great location right on Lake Tana. Excellent service. Food at restaurant was just OK. Friendly and very polite staff. Free massage was a plus but masseuses need more training. Will definitely stay at this resort again.
