We just love the hotel and garden with lots of shady trees, tables and chairs. We stayed at the hotel on previous occasions. It was a happy reunion! The location is great, on the lake side, with view over lake/setting sun/birds flying low over the water, boats coming and going, including the occasional Tanqwa (papyrus boat). The hotel has it's...

Apart from the beautiful location on the lake shore, a nice big garden and an average restaurant, our party - occupying 4 rooms - was absolutely frightened by the alarming bad quality of the plumbing in the bathrooms. None of them was without problems: leaking toilets and showers making the bathroom floors very slippery. Staff was very helpful but did... More

The location on the shores of Lake Tana is very nice.The rooms are a little small but not bad, though the bathroom is very grotty and in need of refurbishment. On checking in we were quoted a price including breakfast (this was quite clear,we both heard it). The next morning we had the buffet breakfast naturally assuming it was indeed... More

Tana hotel is located in front of lake Tana, with a very nice views over the lake. However it's if far from the city centre of Bahar Dar. The hotel has a look from the 70s, with NO wifi in the rooms and only a very slow and even more expensive Internet connection in front of the reception. Costing 2... More

If you've stayed at the Roha Hotel in Lalibela, the rooms in this hotel will look very familiar - exactly the same layout and style, all rooms seem to have a lake view. There are gardens that go down to the edge of Lake Tana, sunsets are amazing. Good base for trips on the lake and to the Blue Nile... More

We stayed 2 nights. Some people in our group had to change rooms due to various problems but they were accomodated. Our room was comfortable and quiet. We didn't try the TV and didn't spend much time in the room. The plumbing wasn't great but better than other hotels in Ethiopia. The grounds are very nice and the restrurant was... More

This is an ex government hotel from the Ghion chain. The rooms are OK and clean, and the hotel has a nice terrace overlooking the lake (especially nice for birdwatchers/ sunset). It is quiet far away from the town, but you can walk in about 30min on a path along the lake to Bahir Dar. The markets are then another... More

In the generally dismal standards of Ethiopian hotels, the Tana stands out as rather less dreadful than most. The rooms are the usual shabby and poorly maintained standard, with plugs which don't fit the plug holes, dubious cleanliness, intermittent hot water, and so on. But the location is unbeatable, with a lovely garden right on the lake shore, plenty of... More

The staff at this hotel were generally pleasant and helpful. The rooms were not particularly clean and are in need of some overall improvement. A little paint would go a long way. The bathrooms are also in need of a good cleaning and the toilets need some attention. Could not get TV to work and just gave up on that.... More
