Tana hotel is located at the shores of Lake Tana. It is a nice hotel with stylish rooms. The gift shop is reasonable priced and has a wonderful variety of items that round up a tourists desire. The restaurant offers a good and reasonable service as well. The location at the Lake invites you to relax and refresh.
The internet stick works here as well as mobile phones.

Hyenas
Harar was not what I expected. I thought it would be a town on top of a hill surrounded by high walls and in the evening Men feeding the hyenas. We stayed at Tana hotel for 50 birr (3 pounds). It was a 30 minute walk from the walled city and the taxi drivers often asked far too much since we are white (farangi's) and therefore we ended up getting …
