Sherif guest house

We stumbled into Sherif Guest House in Harar when Anisa Guesthouse cancelled our reservation the night before we were due to fly to Harar. Our fantastic guide was contacted by Anisa on this cancellation and he took it upon himself to find us equivalent accommodation. Sherif Guesthouse is not officially open for tourism as it was put together by its owner (the man behind interesting Sherif Museum) to host VIP guests. The best way to make a reservation is to call our guide Mikyas (and highly suggest booking him as a guide - the best we have come across so far in three year travelling throughout Ethiopia) at +251 93 784 2918. In terms of accommodation I have given it four starts, not because it matches 4 star standard of accommodation but because it was welcoming and clean enough. I few minor improvements would go a long way to improving the experience, but key to note this is an issue across all accommodation in Harar Old Town. If you want the real experience it's good to put up with less than perfect and allow for immersion into this beautiful town. This calls for flexible travellers.
