The best hotels Lalibela

With its rock-church look, this hotel doesn't go unnoticed - the monumental door is rarely opened, and the entrance is from the side. The large lobby is carefully decorated with Ethiopian furniture. The twelve rooms are spacious, with colorful bedspreads (featuring angels), carved wooden headboards and furniture, and warm wooden floors. All have terraces with spectacular, vertiginous views, as do the restaurant and the garden with its pretty lawn and outdoor lounge. One of the best in this price range.

Located next to Mountain View, this red-brick lodge offers a dozen fresh, spacious and bright rooms. Extremely well-maintained, they are well-equipped (quality bedding, attractive decor, telephone, mini-fridge, hot water...) and some have a terrace with a panoramic view, which is their main asset. The owner is a former guide who knows the area inside out and can give you some tips on how to visit it. The restaurant is very good, and the staff quite professional. Wifi.

This is Lalibela's first true luxury hotel, whose main asset is an elegant swimming pool with a wooden deck (the only one in town) and a complete spa for relaxation (hammam, sauna and massages). A little out of the way, it guarantees unruffled calm and space, a guarantee of tranquillity. The bungalows, set on a hillside, guarantee privacy for everyone. Air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, king-size beds, waxed concrete floors, luxury bathrooms, sophisticated restaurant... Le Mezena is all about luxury at reasonable prices. Don't forget to book.

This is a very recent hotel, with charming stone tukuls as rooms, all with a lovely view and comfortable, well-made furnishings. The rooms are well-decorated with character, the bathrooms are spacious and well-maintained, and the cleanliness is impeccable. Each of the tukuls has a small terrace and a large, massive, carved wooden door. The welcome is warm and friendly, the owner and his staff are very attentive, and the restaurant is top-notch. The lodge is a little removed from the hustle and bustle without being out of the center. A good plan. Wifi and parking.
