We think back with warm and fulfilled feelings of our stay at Lodge du Chateau in Gonder, Ethiopia. And especially to our meeting with Simon (Seyoum), the owner/manager. Simon took extra effort to introduce us to the secrets and treasures of Gondar, Ethiopia and Africa. In a very warm way, he made us feel at home and managed to make us experience magical moments, pointing out different pearls of the city and taking us to special places. Gonder is a very nice and lively city, with a rich history. In the hotel there is a beautiful courtyard garden and most importantly there is a wonderful rooftop terrace where an unparalleled breakfast is served. There is also a wonderful view of the city there. Remarkable attention and love speaks from everything. This place has the X-Factor. We would love to come back here again!

Great experience in the heart of Ancient Gondar. Excellent host who is serving a generous breakfast himself. Views from the roof terras makes it perfect.The Lodge is well secured and you will find only people who have a reason to be there. Very pleasant. I stayed longer than anticipated.

Quiet and lively atmosphere at the same time (with a fantastic garden in the middle of the lodge), having breakfast on the lovely terrace (with excellent breakfast) is heart-warming. The host Simon is always approachable, makes one feel at ease, but does not evade questions about the political situation. The staff is friendly and helpful. The ceiling lamp was far too bright, the bedside lamp far too dim.

Beautifully designed with a nice garden in the courtyard and a terrace with a great view. Great location directly opposite of the castle complex. Very friendly and helpful staff who take the time to think about your needs and opportunities. Best breakfast in Ethiopia!

Visit go dar is a great experience but stay at the lodge of château makes your journey unforgettable. Simon the owner takes care of your needs as soon as you step in. His experience a local guide revile all secrets of Gondar and his hotels is a gem well hidden long the castle walls.

We have spent two nights at the Lodge. Perfectly situated at the very heart of the city, it offers comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, a spacious patio with lots of flowers, and a terrace with a wondetful view, where breakfasts are served. The breakfasts were the best ones we had during our three week stay in Ethiopia. Fruits, juices, warm honey, coffee, they made a perfect start to the day. Simon, the manager, is very helpful, he is also a great guy to talk to, we enjoyed chatting with him a lot. The only disadvantage is the water supply. It was sometimes so weak, it took an hour to fill the toilet flush after using it. However, this is the only week point of the Lodge, and if I ever visit Gondar again, I will choose this same place for sure

The lodge is located in the historic center of Gondar, right next to the palace complex and offers simple rooms with basic comfort. Price/quality definitely ok. The rooms are large and have good beds. There is WiFi in the room, private bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. Bottled water is offered in the room. Rooms come with a simple but very nice breakfast (coffee/tea, daily varied fresh fruit, and a choice of about ten dishes). Big plus to the lodge is the excellent personal service. Simon does everything he can to make your stay in Gondar as pleasant as possible. If you wish, he will help you plan your days, arrange excursions, and give tips for lunch and dinner. The staff is also very friendly and really helpful. I can recommend the lodge to everyone, you won't regret it!

I stayed there 3 days in Timkat 2022 and had a wonderful stay. The place is quiet, safe and in the very heart of Gonder, side by side to the Fasiladas Castle. Don't expect high luxury, gardens or swimming pool. The hotel is a small patio with the rooms around it and an elevated platform for breakfast with a fantastic view. Hot water didn't have excellent pressure and force, but there was always hot water. There is always a doorman at the gate and the place is Super Safe, I left my passport, wallet and things at the room and had no problem at all. Simon is very helpful with tips, transfers and tourism advice.
