Back in the 1950's, 60's, and part of the 70's this was the Ras Hotel in Ambo. Across the street is the large swimming pool fed by piped in hot spring water.(Ambo Water) I don't know what became of it during the Menguistu years.

Comments

  • I was there in '98 and had lunch at the hotel, so it was still operating then. There is a huge fig tree just off the parking lot.
  • Yes its true
  • How is every thing up there?
  • Visited 18.04.11 PLUS - Beautiful and very well-tended lawned gardens, with a riot of colour and many bird species. MINUS- Very expensive food and drink, serving English tea rather than traditional chai. Hot water and hand soap in toilets but no flush!
