Agoro Lodge

Top choice in Northern Ethiopia


Easily Adigrat's best place to stay, Agoro Lodge sits high on a hill 4km south of town. The rooms and public areas are built of sandstone and are large and comfortable; put a desk in the rooms and they'd look even better. There's a good restaurant (mains Birr58 to Birr80) and all profits are invested back into the community.
