I stayed at this hotel and found it to be quite a gem. The rooms were clean and had a lovely view of the neighborhood, which I really appreciated. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. On the downside, the location was off a slightly sketchy street, making me feel a bit uneasy at times. Overall, the value for money was decent, but there’s room for improvement, especially in terms of facilities.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was super convenient for getting to the airport and also close to great restaurants in the area. The rooms were well-kept with beautiful marble floors, and the service was top-notch from the friendly staff. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, and the Wi-Fi being extra was a bit of a hassle. Overall, I'd say it was a solid experience with good value for money.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location off the main airport road in Addis Ababa, which makes it super convenient for both arriving and heading into the city. The rooms provide a decent view and are quite comfortable, though not without their minor flaws. The staff is friendly and helpful, but the dining options, particularly breakfast, could definitely use some improvement. Overall, I felt it offered good value for money, but I did experience a bit of a letdown with the Wi-Fi situation since it wasn’t complimentary.
