Decent enough place with a great location close to Lake Tana. The water is hit and miss which is annoying but not the end of the world. The view of the main street is nice and if you are on the 1st level (what we call 2nd level in NA) you can see the Lake. The restaurant is decent as... More

Where does one start about this place. We had booked a twin room, and yes that's what we got, but the headboard had been sawn in half to make to, the table was in half, this was taking all to literally. Toilets, well 50 50 chance of them working. Running water not at all times and hot water was a... More

This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff is very rude and the place is very noisy. The toilet had a broken seat and didn't flush. The rugs are stained. The window curtains didn't cover anything. I hated that place and will never recommend. Right after we saw the room, the staff said we couldn't get a... More

The rooms are a bit tired, but apparently it's being refurbished. The WiFi was blisteringly fast which was a refreshing change (the router was right outside our room). We had hot water for the showers the whole time we were there, and breakfast was provided in the room rate each morning. Reception wasn't that friendly or very much help when... More

It's in a central position, near the lake. Phone 058 220 1436 for reservation. It's one of the older hotels in town, with about 60 rooms. Currently (Nov 2011) it's undergoing refurbishment one space at a time, and will probably be quite pleasant when done. It has a comfortable-looking lounge area, lots of wood - and that makes it just... More

Certainly it is not the best option to spend a few nights in Bahar Dar in Dib Anbessa but for one night should be ok. Rooms are tidy and clean but could be more spacy. Bathrooms are ok, at least you have hot water all the time and clean towels (they change them everyday). Breakfast is included in price but... More

Stayed here two weeks with our Habitat for Humanity group (hi guys!!). Bahir Dar has only one hotel that might meet north am/euro standards, the Kuriftu, but do you really want to live in luxury with the standards outside of the hotel grounds at such stark contrast? The Dib Ambessa is on par with most other 'moderate' hotels in BD... More

the hotel was terrible and we rented mountain bikes from the travel center there with a 2 hour deposit. the bikes they brought out had no front brakes at all, and rear ones that didnt work. two gears of 20 some were working. then they refused to fix the problem or give us a refund. i would never stay here....

Like most tourists doing the Historic road by 4WD vehicle, we spent a couple of nights in Bahir dar. They were both supposed to be spent at the Dib Anbessa, a hotel with a nice lakefront location. The first indications were good: on arrival we decided to have a meal at the restaurant. The food was quite good, the service... More
