The Women's Travel Group stayed here and loved it. The scene at 10,000 ft is fantastic and you are in a national park full of wildlife. Rooms are in individual huts and are lovely, quite cold but with heavy blankets. Bathrooms same and modern. This is a must if you are going to Ethiopia and its location makes it the... More

We spent two nights here; I wish we hadn't. On the up side the location is stupendous and the rooms are simple but spacious and well designed. Do not worry about A or B as all look to the west - if you really want to stay here. The down side sadly outweighs the up. The food is dire, featuring... More

We booked two nights at the Simien Lodge late February 2013. On their website they offer fancy minibuses and 4x4, so we asked at their office in Addis for transportation. The room was 170 USD and the transport from Gondar to the Lodge and back was 200 USD. For driving into the Park the next day to Chennek Camp and... More

I loved this hotel. The service may not have been the best, but the views are wonderful. Even though it's cold, it was a great atmosphere to have dinner by an open fire. The chalets were very well appointed, lots of hot water and comfortable beds and spacious. A chance to see the Gelada baboons was very special. Definitely rcommended.

Wonderfully positioned in the heart of the national park. The service is not particularly good but the views are wonderful and it is very peaceful. Be prepared that it is cold at night in and out of the huts. As in all Ethiopian hotels a head torch is an essential if you like reading

At 3260m, and the only one around,this was an ok time for us. The rooms were clean and cool(the in floor heating didn't work). The food was good, by Ethiopian standards. The views were spectacular and the staff accommodating. I would stay there again.

The Simien Lodge is a delightful surprise of high quality accommodation in the extremely remote corner of Ethiopia. We stayed at room 2A. The room is tastefully decorated, cozy, and has a large and comfortable bed. The bathroom is clean and the shower is very strong with excellent hot water heated by solar panels. It even provides a hair dryer... More

We booked here for 2 nights in early February 2013, part of an 18 night tour of Ethiopia. The Lodge was very quiet with very few guests - the rate was £110 per night ($170) including breakfast. We were initially allocated room 8B - with the most dismal entrance round the back facing a wall, (4m away), surmounted by about... More

The lodge is OK, the rooms are clean, and the location excellent....and there is no real alternative within 2 hours...so you are a captive audience, and they know it. At $170 fo a double room, which should trade for $100 or less, $15 (270 birr) for a mediocre dinner that would cost less than 100 birr anywhere else, and a... More
