    +++Amazingly hospitable locals as hosts ++Offered coffee and even a local delicious dinner + Clean OBS At the time of visit (jan24) locals very e x t r e m e l y pushy up to harassing in the rock churches and the streets towards me as a foreigner pleading money for various motives - the guest house was a nice relief and getaway from that!

    Fantastic! The owner Birtukal, was a lovely host. She made a great breakfast for me 3 days in a row and treated me to a coffee ceremony as well. The hotel also arranged for an airport shuttle both times. Through the hotel I was also able to arrange a guide for the churches and trekking. Both guides they arranged for me were fantastic. Great value. Highly recommend!

    We had a lovely time at Merkeza guest house. The room is nicely decorated and has a lovely view to the mountains. It’s in a good location, just 10min walking from the Lalibela’s churches. Most importantly, Teddy and his family are great hosts, they made us feel at home and they helped us organise our tours around the town. Plus, the breakfast is very good! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wishes to visit Lalibela.
