Frommer's Review

Axum was the coronation place of Christian Ethiopian kings in the 4th century A.D., and the alleged home of the Ark of the Covenant. The minimalist decor (sponge-painted apricot walls, artfully rust-colored furnishings) reinforces the vaguely revolutionist air, as nihilist neo-Goths, dashiki-ed ethnographers and disaffected European philosophy majors articulately deconstruct their contempt between puffs and riffs. With provocative art exhibits, reggae and jazz parties, poetry recitals, storytelling, open-mic nights, and more it's actually quite fun, and that could be the next Sartre or Miles Davis brooding one table over. It even has limited e-mail, scanning, and printing.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
