Wondim, the owner, was friendly and always around to help. He arranged a pickup from another hostel where there was no water, then took me to the airport for a fair price. When I didn’t feel comfortable walking to dinner through a completely dark street with dogs, street bars, and drunk men urinating, he kindly accompanied me to the restaurant. The place is quiet and right in the city center. The facilities are old, but there’s a hot shower, a clean bed, WiFi, and a basic breakfast. I’d recommend it as good value budget accommodation for visiting Gondar.

I’d recommend Chef Wondim’s backpackers hostel to anyone looking for affordable accommodation in Gondar. Wondim and the staff were so helpful and went well beyond what I expected to make me comfortable. They sorted out bus tickets and took me to their favorite breakfast and coffee spots, plus a local restaurant for dinner. Breakfast outside in the peaceful garden was delicious, especially the local honey.

The room was cozy and gave us a chance to rest during our travels, and the staff were friendly. My travel buddy and I had a great time at the hostel. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Gondar. Greetings from Germany!

The place was comfortable, clean, and well located, with good WiFi and a good price for what you get. Abraham was really helpful. We planned our whole 10-day tour of northern Ethiopia with him, and it was awesome.

We had fresh coffee and breakfast every morning, and the place was amazing. It’s in a great spot near the churches, away from the chaos, but it’s also easy to get to the Piazza for restaurants and live music. They also provide tours to the Simien mountains, which made for an amazing experience.
