"A friend and I stayed at the blue Nile resort hotel, which has a stunning setting and views on the waters edge of lake Tana. It was a perfect spot to start our tour of lake Tana and Islands. The staff were helpful and it the buffet breakfast had a good selection. However the twin room was very small which had not been apparent in the photos online as I had thought it was a twin room with double beds not singles and there was no hot water."

"The property was not as advertised. The place appears a bit run-down and the rooms we stayed in had stained and partially broken toilet seats.

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly helpful and provided me an extremely safe and enjoyable stay. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are large and spotlessly clean. Probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and I’ve traveled the world . "
