"Everything was good, and breakfast was included. To reach the hotel from the transfer terminal, it’s a quick 5-10 minute walk—just follow the signs (clearer ones would be nice). Need to pass through security again to the hotel."

City with so much energy

3/5 - Okay

Max

Addis Ababa is an interesting city but I had such a bad experience at this hotel it marred the entire vacation. I recommend selecting a hotel based on user experience. Giving newly listed hotels a chance is too risky.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Overall, I had an excellent stay. I recommend requesting a room on the opposite side of the building away from the School.

2/5 - Disappointing

Not safe due to ethnic conflicts
