    friendly staff

    Just a reliable pick for a couple of nights in Addis Ababa with great value for the money. The staff were friendly and helped me when I needed to print a last-minute document for my flight. Make sure to confirm any late checkout policies at the front desk before your departure.

    comfortable bed
    filling breakfast
    respectful staff
    unclean room
    stained furniture
    broken fixtures

    Checking in was a bit chaotic. It took around 20 minutes, with three different staff members involved. If another guest arrived, they got sidetracked and left us waiting. The room didn't meet expectations. Furniture looked stained and old. The bathroom had a broken light, a dirty shower that was missing parts, and loose taps. Water even stopped while showering. I found the bed comfortable and enjoyed the breakfast, pretty filling. We received daily bottled water, a nice touch. Despite the friendly staff, the room conditions made it hard to overlook. It really seemed like refurbishment was overdue, especially given the standard I was hoping for.

    clean bed
    good internet

    Recommend it for solo travelers

    The bed was clean and the internet was surprisingly good. The breakfast was filling with a basic buffet that kept me fueled for the day ahead.

    It wasn't cheap but still acceptable.

    outdated furniture

    I really loved the comfortable bed and the good breakfast they offered 🛏️ Though, the chaotic check-in process took some time and wasn't the best experience.

    great service

    Chef TiTi!

    The food was super tasty! Chef TiTi really makes sure you're happy with your meal. The portions are good. The a la carte lunch is affordable, and the service by Tirunesh is great. The room had a tv and a minibar, but no air conditioning. Bottled water was provided daily, cool.

    The staff were helpful and accommodating, even changing my initial room when I asked for a larger one. The hotel is conveniently located only 5 minutes away from the airport, making it a very accessible option. The location is superb, with easy access to important places in the city. The hotel facilities were good, including reasonable wifi and an ATM on site. The breakfast provided was decent and the cleanliness of the room was great.

    Nothing that I didn't like.
