    The locatiion is in the northern part of Lalibella, still close to the churches but in a quiet neighbourhood. A stunning view from the window! Rooms are very nice. Very tasty buffet-style breakfasts are served at sisterly hotel just around the corner. Airport transfer included. Any tour you need is provided by a knowledgeable guide Girma. A lovely Habtam, working now hard on improving her English skills, is always willing to help.

    A small, intimate guesthouse located in a quiet, peaceful area. A few minutes' walk to Lalibela's main attractions. The staff was exceptionally friendly and nice. Kibret and her brother invited us to a traditional Timkat dinner. There was a warm, homely atmosphere there. We were supported in visiting Lalibela by Mesfen. He cooperates with the guesthouse and is able to organize the tourists' stay very well.

    +++Amazingly hospitable locals as hosts ++Offered coffee and even a local delicious dinner + Clean OBS At the time of visit (jan24) locals very e x t r e m e l y pushy up to harassing in the rock churches and the streets towards me as a foreigner pleading money for various motives - the guest house was a nice relief and getaway from that!

    The owner, Teddy arranged the transfer from the airport to the guesthouse, with a local taxi, at the real price. His all family are very friendly and helpful. The guesthouse (very clean, with a remarkable view to the mountains) is close to the monolithic monasteries and the restaurant Kana, where you can take the lunch or dinner. Teddy can arrange various tours with various guides at reasonable prices. It was the best option to choose Merkeza Guest House.

    Birtukan is a wonderful host, full of attention and appreciation for her guests. The guesthouse is simple, but it is a truly an authentic Ethiopian experience. The breakfast which is included is superb. If you wish Birtukan and her sister also provide an excellent dinner. Highly recommended for all who are seeking a truly genuine Ethiopian experience.

    We had a lovely time at Merkeza guest house. The room is nicely decorated and has a lovely view to the mountains. It’s in a good location, just 10min walking from the Lalibela’s churches. Most importantly, Teddy and his family are great hosts, they made us feel at home and they helped us organise our tours around the town. Plus, the breakfast is very good! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wishes to visit Lalibela.
