Not to be confused with any of the other Lewis in
town, this expensive lakeside place serves four-star luxury in a completely Ethiopian way.
There's a large variety of rooms, from the basic 'garden view' to the tacky and ugly (cue
'70s porn music) bungalows. The 'deluxe' rooms have large private balconies. There's
putt-putt golf and a playground for the little kids and a gym and mountain bikes for the
big kids.

Fairly swish by Ethiopian standards, it's got the most mod cons (including in-room
safes, massage showers and an elevator) available in this price range.

The rooms here are
small and functional and offer excellent value. The Amharic name is 'Tami'.

Though the rooms
are dark and a tad rank, it deserves consideration for being so near the lake and having
such a vivid garden.

A demerit for false advertising (it's nearly 1km to
the lake) but kudos for the rooms that, though overpriced, are solid. It's behind Dolce Vita
restaurant.
