WUKRO
Wukro is by far the biggest town in the rock-hewn church zone and has the most services,
including several small supermarkets, but at its heart it's still just an oversized village.
Water shortages are endemic here and while you can rely on running water every day at
the big hotels, you can't expect it all day.
Most accommodation is on the southern side of town. The under-construction Wukro
Lodge to the north promises (though we won't guarantee it will deliver) a higher standard
than anything currently available.
Hewan Pension $
( 0344-430483; d/tw without bathroom Birr60/ 120, d Birr120)
You don't expect much
from the stark exterior, but the small rooms are very clean and even the shared toilets are
odour-free.
PENSION
Fisseha Hotel $
( 0914-730898; d without bathroom Birr100, d Birr180-300, tw Birr320; )
Though it's the newest and cleanest hotel in town, with good mattresses, the lighting is the
dim, orange variety found in many super cheapies; that's inexcusable at these high
faranji
prices.
HOTEL
Lwam Hotel $
( 0348-430042;

; d/tw without bathroom Birr121/73, d Birr200;
)
Once a very nice place to stay, Lwam is slipping fast and many of the ensuite rooms
stink; take a sniff before accepting one. However, the
faranji
food (mains Birr30 to Bir-
r60) here is the best in town by a long shot.

HOTEL
Zemenawi Snack $
( 0914-784238; r Birr35)
Simple but clean rooms with a price that even the most
tightly sealed of wallets can't fault.
ATSBI
HOTEL
Salem House $
( 0914-63582; d without bathroom Birr30)
This yellow-red-black-pink spot on the
south side of town is your best bet; the toilets smelled less here than at any other place we
saw.
