It is a big property which is what I was looking for. We were quickly put in a room. I wish wifi was in the rooms it ruins mealtims to have to catch up on business in the restaurant and lobby. There is no place to work with a computer either and you are not allowed to sit at a restaurant table in between meal times. ##### Amanda ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaclyn 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personally, I loved the simplicity and minimalism of the hotel. The uniqueness. The noises you can hear through the walls. (I need noise to fall asleep and I was there over Timket celebration) I call this luxury. Wifi. A bed (with shiny bedding). A shower and running water. Friendly staff. A TV that I never used. (Like who needs television when life itself is entertaining enough). Transfer currency to Birr, as that is the only currency accepted. It states Complimentary water and transportation. In 2025, you will have to pay for those. You will experience insects, although I felt there were few. The staff is attentive and friendly-I would definitely keep good communication as the restaurant could close early. ##### Jaclyn Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 21 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff very nice… especially the front desk!! ##### Ryan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 23 Nov 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is in need of a major overhaul.

Assez calme. La piscine et le SPA n'étaient pas fonctionnels. Pas de grande vue sur les paysages depuis la plupart des Toukuls. Petit déjeuner satisfaisant mais sans plus. Proche du centre sans y être trop près. Tout est néanmoins accessible à pied. Bon souvenir du personnel sympathique. ##### Jean Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Magnus 31 Dec 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Behöver en uppryckning Lalibela är ett fantastiskt ställe och Lal ligger på gångavstånd från de sevärda klippkyrkorna. Men hotellet skulle behöva en uppryckning. Poolen innehåller inget vatten. Takterrassen har inga stolar. Rummet städas inte varje dag. Vårt rum för två har bara en tekopp. Wifi som ska finnas över hela hotellet finns bara i lobbyn och inte alltid. Men restaurangpersonalen är mycket trevlig och serviceminded. ##### Magnus Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 遺跡には歩いて行けるので便利 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jesper Bjørnbæk 26 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Visit Ethiopia It was obvious we were outside season.

The bites exactly fit the description. Luckily, the room was quite spacious and thus our suitcases were at a good distance of the bed, so I believe they did not climb on-board our suitcases. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### margaret 13 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice bungalow rooms at a good price The hotel staff was nice but the pool wasn't kept up nor was there wifi in the rooms. Hot water is great and it was very clean! I recommend it for the price. ##### margaret ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 18 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible far from the Lalibela Churches Aesthetically beautiful in terms of decor. Room was relatively clean. However, not much else is appealing about this place. It is a great distance from the other hotels and the Lalibela churches but they do have free shuttle if you call in advance and reserve. The breakfast is free and decent. Please be very aware of the tour guide that is stationed at this hotel because he will charge you double the price of what a tour to the Lalibela churches actually cost. There is no WiFi in the rooms, if you want to use WiFi it must be in the reception area of the hotel. Far worst than the WiFi issue is that they had no hot water system installed...be prepared for a cold bath. Also the television has one working for channel and seems to go out after 10pm. Definitely not recommended for around $50 a night. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin, Nairobi, Kenya 18 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### An Excellent Choice We stayed at the Lal Hotel for 2 nights during the low season. The hotel staff are very friendly and well accommodating. The rooms were nice and spacious, with comfortable beds and hot showers. There was a TV but was not hooked up to any satellite, so you couldn't watch anything if you wanted to. Shopping and restaurants are close by. Ask for recommendations. ##### Kevin ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda 29 Jul 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This was a good choice, walking distance to the churces with restaurant, bar etc. we wanted a bigger property and this worked well. ##### Amanda ### 6/10 Okay #### Iain, Seattle, WA 21 May 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Good place, but facilities are thin in low season We visited Lal during the off season and the place was pretty empty. Our room was nice and comfortable though cold at night. This was exacerbated by the solar hot water: no sun, no hot showers. Wifi didn't work in our room but was OK — by Ethiopian standards — elsewhere. Cleaning was spotty; they missed a few days. The sauna was a small closet but was a nice balm for the cold. All in all, for a remote location during off season, we found Lal to be adequate, and the staff to be friendly and helpful. ##### Iain ### 6/10 Okay #### KLAUS, OSNABRÜCK 13 Apr 2016 Disliked: Staff & service #### WER KEINE HOHEN ANSPRÜCHE HAT ICH HABE DIESES HOTEL GEWÄHLT; WEIL DER PREIS OK IST UNS ES ZENTRAL LIEGT MAN KANN ZU FUSS ZU DEN MONOLITHISCHEN KIRCHEN GEHEN; ZUM MARKT ODER EIN TUKTUK NEHMEN: DIE ANLAGE IST RUHIG; WENN MAN IN DEN BUNGALOWS WOHNT: ES GIBT AUCH ZIMMER MIT EINER HALBHOHEN WAND ZUM NEBENZIMMER: MAN HÖRT ALLES AUS DEM NEBENRAUM: DIE VORHÄNGE SIND NICHT DICHT; NACHTS IST ES HELL IM ZIMMER; WEIL VIEL ZU HELLE LEUCHTEN DIE GANZE NACHT AN SIND ##### KLAUS ### 6/10 Okay #### Geri, Switzerland 30 Dec 2013 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Nice for short stay The environment is good, with some more restaurants, shops and a romantic viewpoint around. ##### Geri ### 8/10 Good #### Ingrid, München 26 Nov 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nettes, hilfreiches Personal, Die Tukuls waren toll, die anderen Zimmer etwas abgewohnt, aber OK, schöner, gemütlicher Innenhof und schöner Sonnenuntergang, Service super, besonders das Personal was sehr nett unt hilfreich. ##### Ingrid ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Fontainebleau](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fontainebleau-Hotels.d4801.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel du Danube Saint Germain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Danube-Saint-Germain.h10467343.Hotel-Information) > > [Dukes London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Dukes-London.h21352.Hotel-Information) > > [Land's End Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-Lands-End-Boutique-Hotel.h72574820.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Rotterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotterdam-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6035270-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Korner Chatelet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Victoria-Chatelet.h17601222.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Marriott-Cancun-Resort.h8385.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuriftu Resort & Spa Lake Tana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bahir-Dar-Hotels-Kuriftu-Resort-Spa-Lake-Tana.h19481470.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Tossa de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d4339-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Combo Venezia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Combo-Venezia.h21082088.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cape Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cape-Verde.d32.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Dinos Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Dinos-Hotel.h36664918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Laundry Service in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hotel-With-Laundry-Service.0-0-d178293-thotelwithlaundryservice.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tanjung Rhu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Langkawi-Hotels-Tanjung-Rhu-Resort.h3001427.Hotel-Information) > > [Corendon Hydros Club Kemer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kemer-Hotels-Fun-Sun-Active-Club-Hydros.h11541996.Hotel-Information) > > [INNSiDE by Meliá Luxembourg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxembourg-City-Hotels-INNSiDE-By-Melia-Luxembourg.h66873133.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Prestwick (PIK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/pik/southampton-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from Ballasalla (IOM) to London (LCY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/iom/lcy/isle-of-man-to-london) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Southend-on-Sea Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea.d179500.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Cologne Cable Car](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Cable-Car-Nippes.d6272978.Attraction) ### General ---
