Lodge Fasil

This is a review of the restaurant. It was recommended by a local guy. We got fried lamb which was bad but edible and roasted chicken which was like a piece of rubber, impossible to cut, basically raw. Asked to roast it a bit more. It came back and started to bleed on a plate after I cut it... The worst food experience we had in Ethiopia.

Behind Fasilledos which is good location

Great hotel, clean and spacious rooms. Good choice if you need comfort. The manager was very gentle to us and called a minibus to pick us up early in the morning to head down to Bahir Dar. The man in the reception was extremely kind too. We highly recommend this hotel!

Decent food in Gonder and close to the Fasiledes Castle

Nice lodge close to the royal encloser. Everything was clean, food was nice. Negative: except the reception guy, nobody could speak English. It was really hard even to order food. They were fully overchallenged with the simplest questions. This is the reason for giving only 3 stars. In that price category I definitely expect the staff to speak at least some words English. Result: They need to reduce the price, or train their staff. For the current price of 45 $ it’s definitely overpriced. There were other hotels in Gonder for only 15 - 25 $ with also suitable comfort.
