Personally, I loved the simplicity and minimalism of the hotel. The uniqueness. The noises you can hear through the walls. (I need noise to fall asleep and I was there over Timket celebration) I call this luxury. Wifi. A bed (with shiny bedding). A shower and running water. Friendly staff. A TV that I never used. (Like who needs television when life itself is entertaining enough). Transfer currency to Birr, as that is the only currency accepted. It states Complimentary water and transportation. In 2025, you will have to pay for those. You will experience insects, although I felt there were few. The staff is attentive and friendly-I would definitely keep good communication as the restaurant could close early.

It is in need of a major overhaul. Drains backed up in bathroom. Mosquitoes in rooms at night due to cracks around the door. The breakfast was not very appealing and the food cold. The bar was very good.

Hôtel d'un rapport qualité prix satisfaisant. Assez calme. La piscine et le SPA n'étaient pas fonctionnels. Pas de grande vue sur les paysages depuis la plupart des Toukuls. Petit déjeuner satisfaisant mais sans plus. Proche du centre sans y être trop près. Tout est néanmoins accessible à pied. Bon souvenir du personnel sympathique.

Behöver en uppryckning
Lalibela är ett fantastiskt ställe och Lal ligger på gångavstånd från de sevärda klippkyrkorna. Men hotellet skulle behöva en uppryckning. Poolen innehåller inget vatten. Takterrassen har inga stolar. Rummet städas inte varje dag. Vårt rum för två har bara en tekopp. Wifi som ska finnas över hela hotellet finns bara i lobbyn och inte alltid. Men restaurangpersonalen är mycket trevlig och serviceminded.

It was obvious we were outside season. Some parts of the hotel have for sure seen better days but it wasn't important as we only spent a minimum of time in our rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff and wolf for sure consider staying at Lal again

Un bon hôtel où on se sent comme chez nous;prix ok
Le Lal est un hotel de catégorie "européenne " de bonne tenue , avec beaucoup d'espace ( bungalows , jardin, etc.); tous les aspects ont été largement satisfaisants , sauf un wifi assez capricieux quoi qu'en dise la réception; sa localisation par rapport aux sites est bonne sans être exceptionnelle.Je recommande sans une hésitation.

ロケーションは良いです
エチオピアのクリスマス期間中であったため宿泊費が普段の3倍でした。通常期間の宿泊費であれば値頃感があると思います。レセプションで支払済金額を気にする点が理解できないですが、他は特に問題ありません。確認書を印刷して持参することをおすすめします。 教会群まで徒歩で行ける点はアドバンテージです。

Simon, New York City

Centrally located
It was a nice location and I would have no complaints, were it not that I was bitten at night by, what I believe were bed bugs. The bites exactly fit the description. Luckily, the room was quite spacious and thus our suitcases were at a good distance of the bed, so I believe they did not climb on-board our suitcases.

Nice bungalow rooms at a good price
The hotel staff was nice but the pool wasn't kept up nor was there wifi in the rooms. Hot water is great and it was very clean! I recommend it for the price.

Terrible far from the Lalibela Churches
Aesthetically beautiful in terms of decor. Room was relatively clean. However, not much else is appealing about this place. It is a great distance from the other hotels and the Lalibela churches but they do have free shuttle if you call in advance and reserve. The breakfast is free and decent. Please be very aware of the tour guide that is stationed at this hotel because he will charge you double the price of what a tour to the Lalibela churches actually cost. There is no WiFi in the rooms, if you want to use WiFi it must be in the reception area of the hotel. Far worst than the WiFi issue is that they had no hot water system installed...be prepared for a cold bath. Also the television has one working for channel and seems to go out after 10pm. Definitely not recommended for around $50 a night.

An Excellent Choice
We stayed at the Lal Hotel for 2 nights during the low season. The hotel staff are very friendly and well accommodating. The rooms were nice and spacious, with comfortable beds and hot showers. There was a TV but was not hooked up to any satellite, so you couldn't watch anything if you wanted to. Shopping and restaurants are close by. Ask for recommendations.
