"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. We had to urgently make arrangements to secure alternative accommodation for our elderly mothers, which was extremely inconvenient. The hotel employee who was on duty was however very helpful and understanding, which we appreciated very well. He also contacted the hotel manager who was equally understanding and promised to process a refund for the room...

"The accommodation is amazing from the beginning to the end. Amazing setting, in the medina (note that the taxi cannot get to the entrance, which is clearly mentioned in the hotel website and comments). Amazing history throughout the accommodation, in the common areas as well as the rooms. The staff were friendly, showing great hospitality, professional. They helped with choices of restaurants, recommendations of places of interest. The hotel was very clean. The swimming pools were nice, clean and refreshing. Facilities were great throughout.

### Le Riad Monceau

10/10 Excellent

"This Riad is an absolute gem. It was the first on our visit and it was all exquisite. Location is outstanding, yet the Riad itself is tucked away. The staff are amazing. The Riad has a Jazz Bar, restaurant, a few bars, and a rooftop bar. There is a show every night and music stops at 11\. Though some rooms are more quiet than others (we had 2 rooms, one of which was tucked away (2 adults, 2 teenagers)), you'll hear music in many other rooms. It gets super quiet once all guests leave around 11:30\. This is a special Riad. The Jazz is fantastic, the food outstanding. A real find. But consider somewhere else if you are ready for a quiet night at 9 PM."
