Must-see hotels in Ethiopia
Simien Mountains National Park
About 1km north of park headquarters, this is one of Debark's more popular hotels, but that has more to do with a lack of choice than any innate quality…
Southern Ethiopia
Beside the busy bus station, the Lemma is a safe bet, with yawn-inspiring but clean rooms, billiards tables, a sauna (Birr160 per hour), a good restaurant…
Northern Ethiopia
The bungalows here, near where the road down from the village ends at the lake, are actually rather nice. But the restaurant is a fair walk away along the…
Eastern Ethiopia
This unsigned establishment is a dependable budget choice with three types of clean and generally decent rooms. The rooms in the green section have air…
Addis Ababa
Lacking a sign and hidden up an alley just north of Ethio Supermarket, this five-storey guesthouse is well looked after and friendly, if a little…
Southern Ethiopia
This old-timer is an OK runner-up if other accommodation options in Butajira are full, although the cheaper rooms could do with a makeover. The real draw…
Addis Ababa
The rooms here are set around a sun-baked courtyard and are clean and as well-cared for as you can hope to find in this price range in Addis. It’s tucked…
Southern Ethiopia
A good place to spend the night if you're counting your pennies, this family-run venture just north of the Moyale–Shashemene road junction features…
Lalibela
One of a number of lower-midrange places scattered around the centre of town, the Red Rock is typical of the genre – it won't win any style awards but it…
Southern Ethiopia
Though the rooms are dark and a tad rank, this place deserves consideration for being so near the lake and having such a vivid garden. The shared…
Northern Ethiopia
Probably the best of Adigrat's cheapies, Hohoma has basic, simple rooms with satellite TV and slow wi-fi. The downstairs cafe does an excellent version of…
Southern Ethiopia
This shoestringer's haunt has seen better decades but remains an acceptable fallback if you're not too fussy about things like, well, comfort and style…
Southern Ethiopia
The rooms here are fairly standard Ethiopian budget fare – bland, unexciting, simply furnished but perfectly acceptable if you're counting your birr. The…
Addis Ababa
This relatively new guesthouse is a reasonable deal. Peach-pink rooms, OK bathrooms (some with showers, some with bath tubs), a TV…it ticks all the boxes,…
Northern Ethiopia
Bland modern rooms at the northern end of town may not sound all that appealing, but they're fine for a night and the restaurant's one of the better…
Northern Ethiopia
Setit Humera Hotel is in the town centre, not far from the bus station. It's fine for a night but if you're here because Aksum is full, you'll likely be…
Eastern Ethiopia
The shady sites along the Awash River in the area known as ‘Gotu’, 400m south of the park headquarters, are muddy but attractive and shady. Bring…
Lalibela
Alef’s reasonable new rooms are bright, tiled and clean, with bathtubs and partial views. The older rooms, though dark and uninspiring, are still decent…
Addis Ababa
Something of an institution, the Hilton still attracts the conference crowd but it lost its crown as Addis' top hotel long ago. It's starting to show its…
Addis Ababa
Cosy (read: small) rooms in a good central location. Even though the rooms are tiny they are well cared for and contain everything you might require. It’s…
Simien Mountains National Park
One of the quieter options along Debark's main street, the Landscape has basic but generally OK rooms out the back, but a pretty ordinary restaurant, so…
Southern Ethiopia
While the unexceptional rooms don’t set hearts aflutter, the quiet Lalibela is a decent option if the bottom line counts. It’s 50m off the main drag, near…
Northern Ethiopia
A passable hotel on the main roundabout in the centre of town, Gebar Shire has tidy if unexciting rooms; those at the rear of the building are quieter.
Southern Ethiopia
Rooms at this budget hotel on the way into town from Arba Minch are crude but acceptable for a night's kip if other hotels are full. Showers are cold.
Simien Mountains National Park
Similar in standard to the other places around town, but with slightly older furnishings, this place only warrants a mention because it has bathtubs.
Eastern Ethiopia
A great camping option is the area around the Filwoha Hot Springs in the northern extreme of the park, with its shady fig trees.

In the centre of town, Eve Hotel is cheap, not very cheerful and overpriced. The rooms are fine for a night, but they're tired and uninspired. The only…
