Tana Hotel

When I book it first in this hotel I ma not expected it is to be like this. I was wonder what the hotel looks like when I got first, Almost all  the facility is so nice. my room is so fancy on the lake view.

Best: locationWorst: maintenance, breakfast and restaurant, personeel speaks very poor english

This is nice hotel, very friendly staff (but not in the kitchen), but the room we had was dirty and very out of date.  The best thing about this hotel is the wonderful garden. Very poor wifi. Breakfast was acceptable at best, but good coffee.  We stayed here about 25 years ago and it seems that it has only deteriorated since then!

Great Experience

The setting next to Lake Tana is probably the best thing to say about this hotel.  Our room 215 had no working plug sockets, bar the one behind the head of the bed--and moving a large double heavy wooden bed structure was quite an ordeal just to plug in my phone charger.  Hot water was only available twice a day and it was a mad dash to get to the showers for the 6 o'clock evening slot after a long day spent hiking!  The rooms were quite run down and shabby but at least there were screens on the windows to stop the mosquitos from coming in.  There was a beautiful woven sliding window blind to admire however.  Wifi was only available in the lobby which was fine. The food in the restaurant was mediocre at best.  Staff were inattentive.  Breakfast was cooked to order but there was not much choice.  Nice breakfast smoothie however.

Lovely Lake view

Besides the lakeside location, that  means it's about a 60 birr Bajaj ride from the centre. Rooms are getting a bit on the grubby side but everything worked ok. Breakfast and dinner ok. Good service from all staff.

Lakeside location

We stayed in what was, I think, a chain of these hotels as we travelled around the North and liked this one the most. It's of its time and needs refurbishment and modernisation, but is characterful nevertheless. I loved the framed skin paintings and the matching cushions and window covering. Our toilet leaked but it was fixed quickly. The sink's in the bedroom, not the bathroom. The bar/restaurant is lovely and affords a good view of Lake Tana. As does the garden. A lakeside path surrounds the garden and there's a jetty. I was assured that we could swim in the lake but doubt that's true. Bilharzia and Hippos being possible deterrents! The windows are covered with mosquito repellent mesh.

Far from luxurious but well located and characterful

This hotel was probably a very modern hotel, long time ago, but lack of maintenance has made it a bit run down. The setting and the faded garden still are nice, overlooking the lake. Rooms are okay, but nothing special (anymore).

Faded glory

Ok at best, but great garden & friendly reception

The positive is the gardens the hotel is surrounded by. There is a promenade walk from the hotel alongside the lake which I am sure was lovely once with wrought-iron lamp posts and paved footpath, however, it felt quite dodgy with groups of men loitering around. You can walk into town from the hotel, about 20 mins and there are a few restaurants within walking distance. Rooms are in dire need of renovation and very hot at night. There was no mosquito screen on the window, if the window was opened there was a textile screen you could pull across to cover the open window, but it didn't stop the mosquitos from getting in at night, we got attacked by them but it was that or being unable to sleep in a stuffy, hot room. We had not been advised that the hot water was mostly switched off so had a cold shower before finding out you have to ask reception to turn on the hot water!!!  Breakfast is very limited, no fruit available. Wifi didn't work. Staff seemed pretty miserable.

Overlooking Lake Tana

Tana Hotel's only strong point lies outside of the hotel: it's the garden filled with birds and nice views over the lake. Food was reasonable and friendly staff. For the rest it is a place which has seen no maintanance since it was built many years ago. Quite a sad thing to see. Rooms have dirty walls and very bad sanitation. Also no wifi outside the lobby. If you want to see the gardens, sleep somewhere else and just have lunch here. Saves you a lot of misery. If only someone would put a little bit of love and a lot of money in this place it could be nice again.

Run-down place with great garden

I had a very uncomfortable  night in room 204 of this hotel.  Because of the abundance  of mosquitoes. I had to sleep with the window closed as there was no mosquito screen at the window. Also, there was no fan or A/C in the room. There was no hot water  in this room on the in the evening, but all hot water the next morning.
