Blue Nile Guest House

Localisation and staff

You don't need a guide from the hotel for 40$

One of the best places if not the best we stayed in Ethiopia. Clean, cosy, with beautiful view. Helpful and friendly staff. Not far from the center. Comfortable beds. Warm water.

The place has great location, very close to churches. There is a restaurant downstairs which is convenient, food is good. The staff is friendly and helpful. It’s good value for the money.

When we stayed power cut was really long, the generator was used a few hours during the day but you could charge your devices at the reception.

Not much choice for breakfast. Location is center of town and walking distance to Lalibela churches. However it can be noisy so if one is looking for something quiet better to find another one. Evening sunset view from dining is beautiful.

More choice of food. No air cond, so can be very hot in summer. Please bring small change of USD because likely they will tell you no small change if you give them bigger notes. There was no WIFI at the time of our stay but it is not the hotel fault. The whole region was under emergency so no internet connectivity throughout the town.

Everything. They reponded to my queries before I got there and tried to help me out on everything that I face to.

Nothing. With this budget, where can I find the better place than here?

This hotel location is right near the city center and close to the rock churches. The staff is very warm and accomodating with clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms. My room had a beautiful terrace overlooking the city and my bed was big and comfortable. Breakfast was on their terrace with diverse choices from a menu. I do not hesitate to recommend this establishment as all my needs were met and any questions i had promptly addressed and answered. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
