Panoramic View Hotel

For the price paid I cannot fault the room or location. Staff were friendly, tour guide booked through the hotel Mak, was a good guide, knowledgeable about the churches and decent chat over coffee and beer.

Only disappointment was the included breakfast, on day 1 I enjoyed scrambled eggs, sweet bread, toast, a small donut and a bowl of fruit. But on day 2 this was reduced to only eggs and toast, due to lack of supplies. Also no milk available over 2 days so black coffee only.

Location and staff

Basically just paying for the view, tourist prices

The views, the hospitality and overall good vibes.

Limited internet connectivity and potential issues with paying due to this. But this didnt impact our glorious stay!

The location fully justifies the hotel's name and is extremely peaceful, offering a welcome contrast to Addis Ababa. The panoramic view is not just from one's room but also from the bar and restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and made arrangements for an excellent guided tour (I would highly recommend the guide, Ermiyas).

Payment had to be made for a booking that was not used because of a visa delay (although admittedly the hotel was strictly correct as the nature of the delay meant that the cancellation could not be made by the required deadline).

Amazing views from the balcony and the terrace. Friendly staff. Simple but good breakfast.

There were some problems with the shower drain

The panoramic is the perfect place to stay in Lalibela. We had a double room but the view from every room is absolutely perfect. Both the sunrise and sunset are magical. If the views weren’t perfect, the beds are comfy, the water pressure is incredible, and the shower was hot! The restaurant was always great and they even made habesha dishes that weren’t on the menu.

The only critique I have is the wifi wasn’t always consistent but honestly if you come to Ethiopia get a SIM. Its cheap and fast.

The staff was really nice and the view from the room was amazing. The room was also very clean.

The internet connection is not very good in the rooms and I found the bed a bit hard.

Really enjoyed the beautiful views from the hotel, especially the sunset in the evening. The rooftop terrace is beautiful and the view from there is breathtaking. A great place to relax after exploring Lalibela. The staff were very friendly and helpful, ensuring all my needs were met. The food is quite good too. I would definitely return

There unfortunately was a problem with the credit card machine which caused some issues during check out. This was the fault of the bank, not hotel, but advise that you double check whether the machine is working at reception

Not bad, location is excellent , realy hase panaromic view. Perfect name!

location is a little faraway from tourist attraction sites. Transportation was expensive.
