    Simply everything was perfect: the overall location with the breathtaking views; different types of accommodations available (our double tukul was upgraded to one full tukul ;-); the bar on the cliff with mesmerizing sunsets; extremely friendly, helpful and always smiling staff, the beautifully decorated rooms, tasty food. The hotel owner also organized a car with a driver and a guide for the full three days, and both of them were wonderful (Driver Gashaw and Guide Maereg). We stayed three days with our 3 children to have enough time for visiting all the 11 churches, complete the hiking to the Asheton Maryam Monastery, see the village and have time to simply enjoy the peace over there.

    The hotel staff gave us a warm welcome on arrival and were attentive and helpful throughout our stay. We had a large room with a balcony and a good bathroom. The food was freshly cooked and tasty. It’s a short walk to one of the town squares. It has a great view out over the countryside.

    Wifi could not reach my room though I liked it that way as a good escape from unwanted communication and social media.

    Location is convenient quite close to the famous churches. I went to the nearby churches by tuktuk though i think you can walk in 15-20 mins. The hotel surrounding is very beautiful with majestic mountains in sight.

    great location and very friendly staff who even found a doctor in the middle of one night when it became necessary. The view from the rooms could not be better and the food in the restaurant was also superb. we stayed for a whole week and did not get tired of it. In addition to the churches, there are some.very nice hiking trails for which a guide is recommended though.
