The Ghion Hotel in Bahar Dar, by Tana Lake was perfect - a lovely atmosphere, courteous staff and good facilities for a city in Ethiopia. The food was probably not the best but no complaints. more

Ghion Hotel in BahirDar is my absolute favourite hotel. The location is magnificiant. The big garden at the sea shore is shady and cool in the afternoons. After a walk in the hot city centre it is a great pleasure to return to the fresh air in the hotel garden. Breakfast with special omelett and toast in the early morning... more

It's the location of this hotel that makes it such a lovely place to stay...right on the lake, with lovely gardens. The rooms are basic and could be cleaner eg our floor was very dirty and it could easily have been cleaned. The price was high (150 Birr) compared to other places we stayed, but the location saved the day!... more

This hotel is way past its prime. The curtains, mattresses are from the 60's and look like that's the last time they were laundered. Bed-bugs. Beware of bed-bugs or some creepy-crawlies in the beds. Unless you're super budget-conscious, please look elsewhere. Pros - cheap, nice garden, has restaurant, serves beer Cons - not clean, at far end of town, food... more

The Ghion has a lovely setting right on the lake, but I had to see 4 rooms before I took one. Of course this is a poor country, and the hotel is not up to First World standards, but a friend who was already booked in said it was clean (no bugs) and the staff did as good as possible... more
