To visit Gerhalta mountains

the bed was made, but there was a huge amount of dirt (of many different types) on the carpet, it cannot have been cleaned properly for ages. There was hair, including pubic hair in the barth, and the toilet had not been cleaned properly.   Of course we changed rooms, which they vacuumed for us - and it took a while suggesting it was not already clean.  Quite a large hotel with facilities that may sund good but... AVOID

our room not cleaned at all

We really liked this hotel, very quite.  We had an excellent dinner in the bar area.  We walked around the hotel and visited the stadium across the street.  We liked the view from our balcony.  The bed was great for us.  The room was clean and well maintained.  We liked the bathrobes.  We recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Planet Hotel Mekele

Do not stay here. In fact, do not contemplate staying here for a second or even a millisecond. We did so and it was one of the most gruesome experiences we’ve ever had in a hotel. All the bad things other people have written about Planet Hotel are correct. I sorely regret not having listened to them. Do not make the same mistake!

I actually didn’t wish to stay in Mekele at all because none of the accommodation options seemed up to scratch. But, we wanted to visit the Tigray Region and unfortunately the Gheralta Lodge there only had availability for one night. So, I reckoned we’d fly in to Mekele in the evening, spend one night there and leave early the next morning. We’d only be there for a few hours. So, surely it couldn’t be so bad. It turned out to be gruesome. And it was not only gruesome, but also expensive. After reading all the so-so reviews of the different hotels in Mekele, I stupidly and naïvely plumped for the Planet Hotel because the rate was more or less $200 per night. I thought to myself, “If they are charging that much, it must be OK, surely’” Just how wrong and dumb can you be!

Take a look in a thesaurus for “disgusting” and you’ll find numerous appropriate words to describe the hotel. It’s rundown and dirty. So dirty that we didn’t dare take off our socks or actually undress to get into bed. There was also work going on while we were there. So, it felt very much as if we were in the middle of a building site.

There is also no hot water. The safe deposit box didn’t work and they didn’t even deign to offer us any free drinking water. Every space in the hotel smells, whether it be the corridors, rooms, restaurant… In the restaurant, the table cloths and napkins were dirty and the food inedible. We ordered spaghetti with tomato sauce. How wrong can you go with that? After a couple of mouthfuls, we decided to submit to the fact that it’s possible for it to be totally repulsive. We asked for the bill, which was not forthcoming and as we were tired, we asked for it to be put on our room. Instead of that, we were awoken about 30 minutes later by an insistent knock on our door. It was the waiter insisting that we sign the bill for the meal!

The breakfast buffet was even worse… lots of yukky, industrial food. After looking at everything, I decided to play it safe and to just have two hard-boiled eggs. That was not a good idea. When I cracked them open, the yokes were completely black and they emitted a nauseous smell. Fortunately, one of the waiters saw my distress and offered to make me an omelette… a godsend! And I must say that if there is a saving grace, it’s the fact that some of the staff are quite pleasant. Still, the best moment… in fact, the only moment that was not really agonizing… was when we step out the door never to return. The rest was pure torture.

TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE HORROR

We was there for just one night before flying back to Addis Ababa.  The room was spacious.  The air-con was not working, and there was no hot water from the shower.  The water was very weak too.  The room looked aged, and the hotel towels were stained and grayish. The room power turned off suddenly a few times because of poor key slot.  WiFi in the room was weak in signal.  Breakfast has reasonable choices though.

shower was too weak and not hot

This is a lovely modern hotel situated just down the hill from the Tigrai Marty's Memorial Museum.  The rooms are huge--more like a suite, with spacious accommodation, sitting area, desk, tea/coffee making facility and large bathroom.  However in our bathroom (110) there was a terrible smell of bad drains which we tried to stop by placing wet face cloths over the drain hole.  There are balconies in most rooms, but ours did not as we were at the end of the corridor.  There was wifi in the rooms, a jacuzzi bath and air conditioning! There is a swimming pool, spa, top and ground floor bar and restaurants.  We ordered food from the downstairs bar and it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive, despite our reminders to the staff.  Staff were plenty, attention from them was not.

Modern and Spacious

The hotel is dirty. There are a lot of broken things in the room and it is filthy. My sheets and mattress smelled like vomit and the rest of the room smelled like sewage. The towels were grey with dirt when they should have been white. The walls were covered with splatted mosquitos leaving a blood smear. Some lights didn’t turn off, some lights didn’t turn on. The breakfast was mediocre, and the tablecloths were dirty. The saving grace was good wifi in the rooms and some friendly staff.

Only two things going for it: front desk staff and good wifi in rooms.

a shiny 4 stars hotel. very efficient and friendly stuff, plenty of facilities, like sauna, steam room, bar, gym, swimming pool, money change and more. there are two problems one have to consider: the football stadium and the Imam. we were in room 309, facing the mosque. 5AM you get a "wake up" call that lasts about half an hour. 
on our second stay, we couldn't get into the hotel, because all the surrounding streets were blocked due to football game.  we were careful to ask for a room not facing the mosque.

Very nice hotel

Rooms are outdated and does not feel clean. Shower has only lukewarm water. Drainage issues
