Average for the price.

Nice large rooms with decent wifi and breakfast. The rooms are a little run down with poor quality towels, no bath mat or laundry list. A little far from centre of town however you can easily get there with bajaj. Good shower pressure but poor hot water. They kept and looked after our bags whilst we went on our volcano tour.

The swimming pool is outdoor in the photo, but the actual pool has a roof. Swimming cap is required if you swim in the pool.

Low Expectations

The bad: Check-in was confusing, the restaurant service was super slow, the hallway floors were filthy, the rooms usually didn't have hot water, the cleaning staff forgot to provide towels. The good: The staff were friendly and spoke decent English, the beds were comfortable, the swimming pool was large and the gym staff were helpful. Bottom Line: In Europe this would be a 2 star hotel that wouldn't be able to compete. It is, however, probably the best hotel in Mekele and lots of foreign tourists stay there.

4/10 Fair

De service was uitmuntend, echter lieten de faciliteiten te wensen over. Het zwembad was vies en tevens gesloten, de inductie kookplaat in de keuken op onze familyroom lag in scherven. De kamer was bedoeld voor 6 personen echter was er maar slaapplek voor 4 personen. Wel was de kamer erg comfortabel en ruim opgezet. Een badkamer had een jacuzzi en douche met Turks stoombad en massagestralen, echter kwam er maar een dun straaltje water uit wat tevens koud was en de badkamer liep vol water na gebruik. Er hing later ook een rioollucht. Op de kleinere badkamer gaf de douche ook slechts een klein koud straaltje. Voor bijna €250 per nacht verwacht je op zijn minst warm water. Ontbijtbuffet was uitgebreid. De Spa was ook niet helemaal wat je ervan zou verwachten. Een massage werd gegeven in een klein hokje met tl-verlichting en een hoop herrie van de nabij geplaatste aggregator, niet echt ontspannend. Prijs kwaliteit is om bovengenoemde redenen wat mij betreft niet helemaal in verhouding. Had hogere verwachtingen van het hotel.

Take care to lock your room from the inside as all the room cards open any room! Swimming pool is closed.

2/10 Poor

Pretty much a problem from the start.

Problems started at check in. We were only issued 1 key card per room. We had 3 people in a suite and 2 in a double room. This caused problems as we weren't on the same schedules. There was a problem with the hot water in the suite with the desk promising to send someone to the room to investigate which never happened. Towels were not replaced in a timely fashion, our last two days there was no shampoo in the in the shower. Bottom line we've stayed here previously and still really like the day to day staff but the management or lack of has ensured we will never do so again.

Best option in Mekelle

Bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly and nice. WiFi was pretty terrible because they don’t have a password on it and local residents just come to use it in the lobby.

Nothing to recommend

Our bad experience started with the free shuttle: it was not waiting for us at the airport. We had to call the hotel and wait 30 min in the heat. The room is huge, but the bed is small. The shower was cold and the wi-fi was not connecting in our room (we had to sit in near the elevator to have some signal). The breakfast is for locals, except for the omelet.

Don't visit if you're the same gender.

I booked this hotel with my colleague for one night while we were visiting Mekelle for work. During booking we through we booked a twin but accidentally booked a queen. We figured this was ok because we were booked for one night, are two adults and didn't see anything in the Terms and Conditions advising against this. Upon arrival the hotel applied pressure on us to upgrade and pay more for a twin because "International Law" dictated that two women cannot share a room unless it's a twin. In the end we were able to keep our queen after pointing out the missing "laws" in the Terms in Conditions and the hotel facilities were top notch. It's just a shame that check-in affected our experience.

空港からホテルまでの送迎はスムーズでした。 片言の英語しか話せない私に優しく案内もしてくれました。入り口には荷物チェックもあり、安心しました。客室は比較的清潔でした。停電もなく、スマホの充電も出来、Wi-Fiもスムーズでした。シャワーは少しもの足りませんでした。ホテルのレストランは美味しかったです。味もしっかりついており、欧米向けになっているのかと思いました。帰りも空港までバスで送ってくれました。スタッフの笑顔がとてもよかったです。
