Top Twelve Hotel

A cozy little hotel with a very friendly staff and owner. The place is tastefully decorated, the room was clean and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. It’s really well located, no too far away from the churches in a quiet area. The wifi also worked well even when there was no internet connection in the town due to the political situation. Perfect place to stay in Lalibela.

The bed was a bit too hard.

Everything was amazing! The rooms are even more beautiful than advertised, stunning views and gorgeous art throughout. The staff and owner were exceptionally kind and prepared an amazing sunset dinner overlooking the mountains. They booked our tour to the churches and ensured we were safely accompanied with a knowledgeable guide. A delightful experience all around!

Everything was perfect!

Beautifull view from balcony. Very good transportation service from the airport. Very good organized tour to churches.

Problem with electricity.

Great view. Lovely facility

Limited food variety

The view, the room, the staff were all wonderful. The beds are a little hard, but I think it's because they are traditional beds. So just a heads up. Other than that.... it was a wonderful getaway.

This place is lovely, very comfortable and has an excellent view!!

The hotel is clean, spacious, with an incredible view from the balcony to relax on, and a fabulous freshly cooked breakfast. However, what sets it apart was the genuine hospitality shown by staff, both before arriving and once there. I was the only person staying at the hotel my first night, and was made to feel very welcome by all. Beyene the manager had been incredible helpful prior to arriving, answering my many questions about both the local situation and organising airport pickup, tour guide for the churches, a coffee making ceremony for me, which all went as planned, as well as other things I was interested once I had arrived. Also my luggage didn’t arrive on my flight, however Beyene followed up for me with local airline staff, and kept me updated, which was greatly appreciated, as it arrived the next day All the staff were very friendly, and it also had the benefit of a gift shop on site, which was great when time was short. My guide for the churches Tadessa,was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all my questions, knew the best photo spots, when i explored for a day with him, being literally the only tourist, which was very special. Lalibela doesn’t have many tourists at the moment, following the impacts of Covid and previous conflicts, which makes it special when visiting the churches with locals only. However, they need the tourism, it felt very safe at all times, and Top Twelve Hotel was a great choice.

Beautiful hotel, well maintained. Spectacular views from the room balcony. Lovely fresh breakfast.
