Good people
Good medium pension. People are very friendly. You can use the kitchen to cook. They prepare coffee (buna) and thee ( shay) for everybody. If you need a service out of the pension, they can assist you.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is as worse as it gets. Starting with the location, it is not even remotely close to the address they listed on the booking sites. It is far off, through horrible ditches and construction route you finally make it after many calls to get the direction. It is horrible. Second, the staff were extremely unprofessional. They are not even willing to check you in. They are on their phone playing. The lady did not even pay attention while i was standing in her office door entrance for a while because she was playing with her hair and phone. The guest house is listed for 300 local birr for the first level, 250 birr for second level and 150 birr for third level in their office posting, but on the booking sites they listed their prices over 900 local birr. The place is not even worth 1 local birr, because it is absolutely a garbage. There were so much dust and debris all over the floor and bathroom. Walls had all types of stain. The door lock is not secured enough, the toilet had no bath tissues. I had to use mine. There was no hot water for the shower. Not even a hand soap was placed. The room had only one charging outlet which was in the middle of nowhere that was used by the TV, close to the entrance. This meant that i have to physically carry my laptop to charge. There was only one kindergarten size desk and chair in a room. The slippers they had was a baby girl slippers with no use to me. No wifi or extremely horrible internet access. should worth 0 birr to stay.
