For the price, this hotel was terrible value for money. And the staff were entirely unhelpful, I would expect in a "4 star" hotel that staff would at least know where the local bus station is or where to buy bus tickets (unfortunately info in Lonely Planet is out of date, I spent a whole day trying to find a ticket office selling tickets to Addis Ababa). And generally my stay in Gondar was incredibly unpleasant, of 1000 cities I've been to, it was one of the two or three worst.

Property needs to do better in honoring Expedia reservations. We stayed here twice on our trip, and they did not have the right room for us either time. In the end, they generously bumped us up to a more expensive room than we asked for, but that took some time. I encourage the hotel, if it is going to use Expedia, to have the correct rooms available.

We booked the Presidential Suite for 3 people. On the day that we checked in, the staff at the reception said that she thought we had canceled. I showed her the confirmation in Expedia app and told her that I never canceled. To make a long story short, we finally got the room no. 208 and that room had insufficient lighting. I guess nobody had ever stayed in that room for a loooong time that the hotel didn’t even know that this room has no light. So I had to ask the front desk lady to change the room to room no. 207. The new room we got was okay but given the price we paid compared to what we got, I think this hotel is way too overpriced. The room was outdated and faced the main road so you could here traffic all day all night. There was also a few blackouts during our stay. The only thing that we were satisfied was the restaurant. The food was good. The location of the hotel is far from the town center so there was really nothing for you to do except spending time in your room or the swimming pool. In summary, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. I’m sure that there must be other better hotels and closer to town. I wouldn’t complain this much if I didn’t pay a lot for the room we stay and got uncomfortable stay. :(

The hotel was fine but the prices are way out of line for Ethiopia. The staff seem to trip over each other in an attempt to compensate for poor procedures. Management may want to reconsider policies and procedures.

okay not great
We had the Presidential suite as they were completely booked and that was all that was left. First the room was advertised to have a queen and two single beds, but there was only one single bed. I asked them if they could bring another bed and at first they said it would be an extra cost. I reminded them that I had paid for a room for 4 people. Then they did bring another bed. The room was large and the initial appearance was nice. The bathroom had a extra large luxury tub as well as a shower. However we soon found that many things were in disrepair. The toilet seat was only connected on one side. The hair dryer nicely provided did not work. There was a unplugged refrigerator in the corner with some exercise equipment that also did not work. There was no remote for the TV. So our initial excitement about a presidential suite was soon diminished. Things were relatively clean and we were there a short time and so it was okay. The breakfast was good, but the lines for eggs were way too long. There was a swimming pool which we did not have time to try. It looked ok. Considering it was in Gondar Ethiopia, it was overall ok for just one night

Truly speaking it is world standard hotel. Beginning from the design of the building. Look forward for the reinnovation of the sauna and the beginning of the terrace on the top floor. Pick up from airport is crucial in any circumstances and look forward improvement .

Very Disappointed
The staff were great. They really did their best with everythig asked of them, and did so with sincerity (eg when I asked for some ice, when my key card did not work, repeatedly, and I had to change rooms, when I sought assistance to find a tuk-tuk and driver for half a day. But this did not complety cancel out so many negatives: the lack of water pressure made taking a shower seem like I was showering under a dripping tap, bathroom doors with significant water damage, uncomfortable mattress, bottom sheet which was not a fitted sheet and was smaller than the mattress so that during the night I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress, no wifi whatsoever in rooms, with only reliable wifi being in the lobby, where there were no comfortable spaces to be working with a laptop. Photographs on web pages are completely inaccurate. It does not deserve its 4 star rating - even 3 stars would be too generous.

The staff at the Florida hotel are warm and pleasant. The staff went out of there way to treat my family like family. The location is near the airport. The rooms are clean and feels like home away from home. If you are in the area make sure to check out this hotel. Impeccable service and a warm and friendly staff. Keep up the great work.

Stay somewhere else if you can
My husband and I stayed here for one night and it was the worst hotel during our entire stay in Ethiopia and probably the worst I've had in general. We experienced power outages, coach roaches, mosquitos, dirty rooms/bathrooms, dirty halls and stairways and no water! Yes, no running water in our bathroom both in the evening and in the morning when waking up. The breakfast was undesirable and the walls were so thin I could hear the person snoring next door over the street noise. I think the staff tried, but were generally disorganized and inexperienced. When we asked for the Manager to complain, we kept getting told he was not there. I don't usually write reviews but I decided to this time in case it helps people make a decision to stay here. There aren't many places to stay in Gonder, but if you can avoid this place, i suggest you stay somewhere else.

Comfortable hotel with good Western food
While I would consider this hotel to be over-priced for Ethiopian accommodations, the facilities are comfortable and the restaurant offers good Western food. I definitely recommend a massage from Maserat and spending some time in the lower level sauna rooms (dry and wet steam).

Nice hotel. A bit far from town.
Overall pretty decent experience. Its a bit away from town which required use of taxi services. Overall the hotel is well equipped for tourists. The customer service was excellent as was overall level of cleanliness.
