Nicely located hotel in a peninsula garden beside Lake Tana on the outskirts of town with an adjacent path for a twenty minute lakeside walk into the centre, that or a taxi or tuk-tuk. Another of the old government hotels, same room layout and decoration, same wear and tear, but it has its charms. The room was tired but tidy... More

Service and rooms are run down, but the location is worth it. More

Location and Grounds: Situated adjacent to the shore of Lake Tana but quite a way out of town, which is often not a good thing for hotel guests. Whilst it can often be more peaceful and relaxing away from the hubbub it also often means that hotels don’t feel the need to offer good service and value in their bars... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in early September as arranged by our tour company, and we had a decent experience at this hotel. The hotel itself is fairly dated, and the reception staff provides OK service - they were helpful when we asked them for help, but I wouldn't say they were particularly friendly. When we... More

We stayed in Goha Hotel in Gobder for two nights and loved it. So, we thought Tana should be as good. Also, we were at Summerland but they were full. So, Tana became our best option. Reception was poor all the time when we had enquiries. Seems like they don't care what we think. The room itself is identical to... More

One of the best postions in Bahir Dar, rooms OK. But the staff all need replacing! This is the first time in all Ethiopia that we have found such bad service, with 'dont care attitude' When we complained that we had had a really bad dinner, the manager's reply was 'well you enjoyed breakfast'! It also had on the door... More

Once again, we were first offered a room with a sad bathroom. There was water on the floor from a leaking toilet, no shower curtain and many other problems. We asked to move and were given a much better room/bathroom. The decor is nice, there are screens in front of all the windows to keep mosquitoes out and we had... More

It's one of the old socialist hotels from the Derg era and it hasn't been updated (or thoroughly cleaned) since. For the few hours it's turned on, the hot water is so hot that I actually scalded my skin. Otherwise I wore flip flops throughout the room. Old dirty carpet left me wanting more. Dining room was also a bit... More

The hotel grounds, lobby and restaurant are nice, but the rooms had the look of neglect. Our bathroom worked but just was tired looking. The Tana hotel has a lovely lake view. Electricity went off three times the night we were there. This is an OK place to stay, just do not expect too much from the rooms. The boat... More
