After 2 name changes (Jerusalem Guest House and Lasta Hotel) its now Jerusalem Hotel and TripAdvisor should move it to the hotels page. I have stayed 3x and enjoyed every time, particularly the very helpful and communicative staff, ready to do any minor tasks with a smile. The rooms are large, airy, and sparse, but at least there's no spot... more

the rooms are quite basic but has all you need, hot water etc. it's also very safe and the balcony's have wonderful views but most importantly the service is super and fast too. more

Everyone at the Jerusalem was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious - some reviewers describe the decor as sparse but I like a clean, open space. The view was tremendous. I enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the village, roosters included. The children walking under the windows wave as they walk by. I lost my camera on the... more

We stayed here for three nights, having originally planned to stay at the 7 Olives which didn't seem very good value for money given the shabbiness of the rooms (but a lovely terrace and restaurant). This was altogether nicer, with huge rooms and bathrooms which were spotless. The restaurant was good and it was in a nice part of Lalibela....Lalibela... more

The rooms are spacious and all have magnificent uninterrupted views, especially the... more

We stayed here for two nights and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. It seemed the perfect environment to relax and contemplate after visiting the historic churches of the area. There are spectacular views from the rooms. The hotel is clean and quiet, and the restaurant serves very good food. The hotel has a very competent team of staff who were... more

The travel agent failed to collect us from the airport but the hotel was obliging and included us on their coach. they also sorted out getting a travel guide for us after the agency failed to produce one. The rooms are fairly spacious, clean and have great views. with balconies. The food was better... more
