The worst ever! DON’T BOOK THERE!

This was the very worst I have experienced in a long time. Called Hotels.com to get out of that garbage hotel … waiting 30’ and disconnected, then over 60’ to hear that since it was paid, it could not be refunded. I left after one night of fighting with mosquitoes for hours, in a bedroom that was abject, and an owner/manager that was most unresponsive. You, Hotels.com, have a responsibility to corrrctly inform your customers. You should be ashamed to recommend such a place!

Good place to stay for a couple of days.

The location was great--near the town center and the churches. The hotel is a bit rustic, could use some tlc, but clean. We were never sure when the hotel restaurant was going to be open. Would stay there again.

Hotel offers exceptional view over the mountains west of Lalibela and invites to watch the sunset. The staff is very friendly, kind and always eager to help with guides, tours and transportation. A garden with a lot of shade makes sitting outside pleasant. The restaurant offers free breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ethiopian and western meals are freshly made out of locally sourced ingredients. For travelers seeking a lot of comfort the budget room is not a good option.

A hidden treasure

Lalibela is small yet full of things to do. Jerusalem Hotel provided all the comfort, cleaniness and location I needed for our stayed in Lalibela. Breakfast is fantastic as they provided lots of varieties to choose from. The service staff goes beyond expectation to give a great customer service. I came to Lalibela for 2 nights but we ended staying an extra night and Jerusalem hotel was more than happy to acomodates us.

No qualms. Wi-Fi worked.

I thought the hotel was sort of pricey for what I got, but that's the story with most of Ethiopia I found. The staff was very friendly and professional. There was no TV in the room, but I had my tablet so I could stream my cable TV from the US to my tablet.

We were happy to stay at Jerusalem Hotel. The room was big and clean (Ethiopian standards taken into consideration). Food was simple but fine. It is located close to the city and churches. Mosquito netting would have been nice as we had to sleep in a cave of sheets to be able to sleep. I recommend looking at the Turkuy Hotel next door that looks very nice as well. Conclusion: Good value hotel.

Good location for sights

A very friendly and helpful staff, who helped to organise trips to see places. The rooms were big and clean, with spectacular views at sunset. The food was ok, though not exceptional. Good place to stay.

Good hotel

Decent hotel for the area. Very nice environ- it's nice to step out of the crowded atmosphere of the city to a pleasant courtyard with outside seats. Management makes an effort to meet needs. Note: 1. there is a charge for hotel transfer to and from airport. 2. At present (Feb 2013) the internet access is for Microsoft systems only via a mobile modem the hotel will loan you. 3. Breakfast was not buffet as advertised, but was included and consisted of a nice menu with both set items and choices.

I had a great stay at Jerusalem hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great views from the balcony, and a lot of birds in the garden. 15 minutes walking to the churches. I would stay again.

景色がよく、居心地もよいホテル!

11教会からも近く、また、私が泊まったのは角部屋(301)だったので、景色がすごくよかったです! 部屋は清潔で、居心地がよかったです。 11教会の観光は、一応1日コースになっているものの、ガイドを雇って観光しても、午後の15時には見終わってしまいます。 よって、ラリベラでの滞在は、観光が終わった後の滞在も重要です。 このホテルは、昼間もずっとレストランが開いていますので、気さくなスタッフとともにすごすのもよいでしょう

Geräumige Zimmer, aber völligunzureichend möbliert

Allen Zimmern fehlten die in jedem Hotel üblichen Schränke mit Ablagefächern sowie ein kleiner Schreibtisch. Der große Balkon war ebenfalls ohne Stuhl und Tisch - schade, dass man diesen nicht nutzen konnte. Noch nie hat man so ein kahles, unausgestattetes Hotelzimmer behausen müssen.

Sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel mit viel Komfort!

Tolle Ausstattung des Hotels für Landesstandards; heißes Wasser und modernes Badezimmer; großartiger Ausblick über das äthiopische Hochland; ca. 12 Minuten zu Fuss zu den Kirchen in Lalibela; Shuttle-Service zum Flughafen um 70 Birr (ca.3 €) funktioniert hervorragend.

Der Hauptkomplex des Hotels war im Umbau begriffen

Die Angestellten des Hotels waren sehr nett. Leider standen nur wenige Zimmer, welche nicht den sonstigen Qualitaetskriterien entsprachen, zur Verfuegung. Es waren Renovationsarbeiten im Gange, welche noch nicht abgeschlossen waren, und somit die grossen und schoeneren Zimmer nicht zur Verfuegung standen.
