In a very quiet area, clean, equipped with hairdryer drinking bottle water provided every day, but no tea/ coffee facilities in room. The bathroom is ok but a little licks of water. Wonderful service staff members couldn’t do enough for you always with great smile. Will definitely go back again

The property claims its rooms to have lake view. They don't. Actually, the first night, they put me in a basement. 2nd night 2nd floor but still no lake view. I don't think anyone of their rooms have lake view. They shouldn't advertize wrongly like that. It is misleading. That being said, the staff tried to make up to the disappointment. They are very friendly and helpful.

Practical and friendly
I stayed here for a couple of nights as a way to break up a long journey. It was clean, welcoming and well positioned. The water pressure and water temperature was much better than I have received in so-called 5 star places. The staff always have a friendly smile and greeting. ATM's right by the hotel, fish market and bird park 5 minutes walk, Italian restaurant next door. Perfect place for what I needed.

Above and beyond my expectations.
This is my second time staying at Heron hotel and The staff went above and beyond my expectations in making our stay absolutely memorable. The staff are very friendly and were accommodating to our needs. They remembered me from my previous stay and made my stay here personable. I truly recommend the hotel. It’s clean very affordable and the food is absolutely delicious. The hotel is walking distance from the lake for an early morning run or an evening walk. Thank you Heron hotel.

Pleasant by African standards
We enjoyed our stay at the Heron hotel for a number of reasons- the location near the lake and wildlife was wonderful! The food at the hotel restaurant was usually delicious, though be prepared to wait a while longer for your meals. (This was standard across Ethiopia though.) Room amenities were nice. A fan was provided (no AC) and WiFi usually worked. Hot water was unreliable, so that was a downside. For the price- we felt it was a good deal.
