Mora Heights Hotel

The property is in Secha, near the Arba Minch University Faculty of Business & Economics Road, in Arba Minch, Ethiopia, also spelled Arbaminch. One listing puts it about 2.9 km from the edge of Nechisar National Park. The setting has vantage points over the lakes and highland forest. It’s listed as a 3-star hotel with 36 rooms. Some listings mention balconies, seating areas, free in-room WiFi, LCD TVs with satellite channels, and safes in some rooms. Guests often praise the cleanliness, comfort, views, and staff. Listings also mention free self-parking and an on-site restaurant. One gives check-in from about 12:30 and check-out around 13:00, though the current policy should be checked.

The bed was so comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. Everything is close enough to walk to, but the area stays quiet enough for a good night’s sleep. Management clearly takes pride in the place. Booking here is a decision you won’t regret.

The view from my room was nice, but the room itself was old, with dirty walls and lots of mosquitos. The bathroom was in awful shape, the toilet was broken, and the shower bidet dripped until water covered the floor. There was only a bar of soap, no shampoo or shower gel. At night there wasn’t enough water to wash my hands, shower, or even flush. I tried to have dinner, but the tables were dirty. There were two dead flies on my table, and the waiter served the food right over them.

The hotel is in Shecha, also written Secha, near Arba Minch University Faculty of Business & Economics Road. It’s described as a 3-star place, with views of the southern Rift Valley lakes, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo. Some rooms have lake views, while others are more standard. Listings mention free WiFi in rooms and public areas, free parking on site, and check-in from 11:00 with check-out by 10:00am. Guests often praise the lake-side views, quiet mornings with birds, friendly staff, and good hospitality. Its location is handy for exploring Arba Minch, the lakes, and nature.
