We had been at Lodge du Chateau during the Timkat and we can say the main point of this lodge is the manager. In fact the lodge is well located in the centre of Gonder, has a beautifull garden inside, has free internet, but the rooms could be better, could have restaurant, could have a better breakfast, the service could...

We stayed in Gonder in early January and found the Lodge du Chateau a really pleasant base. The hotel Manager is very friendly indeed and for a very reasonable fee acted as a tour guide around the royal enclosure and the town - he has a wealth of knowledge and treated us as if we were his only guests, despite...

I stayed at the 'Lodge' for 10 days while working at the hospital. By my standards excellent. Simple, clean , genuine, beautiful, peaceful , helpful . I would return. More

We passed this hotel on our way to the Royal Enclosure. The green courtyard lured us in, and we stayed for a coffee on the loft, wishing the whole time we were staying in the hotel (our own was a kip, and had bizarrely gotten the 'our pick' in the Lonely Planet). The Manager was incredibly helpful in terms of... More

We had an excellent stay. The Lodge is comfortable, and the staff professional. Seyoum is a very good host and he also organised our trek in the Simien Mountains. More

The team of staff are friendly and helpful with nothing too much trouble to sort out for you. The breakfasts were excellent, warm bread and local honey (superb) and fresh porridge etc. they are...

Lodge du Chateau is easily the loveliest place we've stayed in during our two week stay in Ethiopia so far. The staff, especially Seyoum the manager, made us feel so welcome and really spoilt us so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our 4 day trip to the Simien Mountains was also organised through the lodge - another... More

What a lovely, charming spot. The room was plain but comfortable, good bed (yay!) - the bathroom could have been better (too much water on floor after a shower), but the grounds and location were perfect. The upstairs/outside breakfast room is a delight - first thing in the morning for coffee or later in the afternoon for a beer. The... More

We stayed for 2 nights in the Lodge du Chateau in Gondar on a recent 3 week trip to Ethiopia. It is a real gem of a hotel. It's setting is ideal, right in the centre of the town. It makes great use of a small space with about 14 rooms arranged around a lovely courtyard garden. The rooms are... More
