Ras Alula Hotel
Rooms here are on par with those at Africa Hotel, but the bathrooms are a bit cramped and it lacks any extra amenities like TVs, restaurant or internet facilities.
Budget Aksum Hotels
Ark Hotel
This newish place has good-sized rooms that are bright and clean; most also offer balconies (though they aren't as private as those at Abinet).
Kaleb Hotel
With quiet rooms set around a garden courtyard, Kaleb is probably the nicest budget setting. The rooms are large and quite pleasant, while the pretty clean bathrooms are showing their age. There's a bar with DSTV, but no restaurant.
Lalibela Hotel
Rooms here are large, tidy and anything but dark. The foam beds are pretty comfortable and the shared bathrooms are nothing to scream at.
Yeha Hotel
Perched atop a bluff overlooking the stelae and the Mary of Zion churches, this hotel has the most enviable location.
Remhai Hotel
The expensive rooms here are huge and host king-size beds, carpets, fridges, phone and the odd Juliet balcony. The cheaper options are rather dark, but are very clean and also have satellite TVs.
