Cons: Nothing

Pros: We used the hotel as a base while travelling in Ethiopia. The rooms were large and comfortable. The free airport shuttle was excellent. We had our incoming flights delayed by 2 days, but the hotel accommodated our changes for free, even though we made the changes after we were not contractually allowed to change. Communication excellent and the staff could not do enough to ensure our stay was great. The option to leave luggage at the hotel when travelling in Ethiopia was great so we used the hotel as our base, and only packed what we needed for our trips so easily kept to the domestic luggage allowance. Food was very good and portions generous, so often we shared a bar snack for our evening meal especially if we had eaten out at lunch

Pros: We booked this room for friends of ours who we were meeting up with in Addis Ababa. The airport shuttle worked perfectly, the bar and restaurant was great for relaxing and catching up with our friends. The food is well priced and generous portions. We could also leave luggage with them when we went off to Mekele and Lalibela, so had no problem with the reduced luggage weight allowance on domestic flights

Cons: Dur to a lot of development in Addis Ababa there were a couple of power cuts in the morning, but they were only short.

Pros: Nice room with sufficient amenities. The meals at the restaurant are at reasonable price. There are shops, bars and cafes in walking distance.

Cons: The hotel is located right at the city centre, and there are security guards outside. Yet you need to be alert while going out. Some teenager boys approached us for food and money just at the corner.

Pros: Restaurant staff always smile

Cons: The shower faucet is broken, WiFi is not working. There are cockroach inside the room. Hope there is a cup or mug inside the room.

Pros: It’s a perfect location next to the airport. The free shuttle was a godsend when you are in a new country and the hotel staff, esp the reception, went out of their way to be helpful!

Cons: It was noisy at night, maybe bc we had a room facing the street.

Pros: Location

Cons: Construction noice around property

Pros: The breakfast was decent. I enjoyed it.

Cons: The shower lacked sufficient water pressure.

Pros: The room was large, clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly, attentive and provided great service. The hotel is located close to the airport so it is a very good place to stay for travellers between flights

Cons: For a hotel of this calibre, the breakfast was ordinary.

Pros: professionality and kindness of the personnel

Cons: breackfast

Pros: I arrived from an overnight flight and had expected to drop my bags and hang around in the reception area until the official check-in time, but I was offered immediate check-in and an upgrade to a suite on the 5th floor. The staff had logged my request from a prevous stay to be far from the elevator shaft (it's quite loud from the rooms directly adjacent) and I was extremely pleased with my room. The breakfast was good, and I very much like the intimate feel of the hotel. Plus it's convenient for walking to meetings/restaurants etc in the Bole area. Will definitely stay again.

Cons: The only fault I can find is with the airport shuttle which on both occasions I have stayed has not been at the arrivals terminal on arrival and there has been no representative around at the booth in the airport. This time I had learned my lesson from my previous stay and I phoned reception on arrival into Addis airport to ensure the shuttle was on route, but it still took a couple of calls to get it organised, which is a bit annoying given how close the hotel is to the airport.

Pros: Fantastic location, good shower, friendly staff and good value for money!

Pros: Staff and location

Cons: Night clup

Pros: Beens and yogurt cud be added in breakfast , drainage in bath tub need to be sort, more TV channels need to add and clear . Overall everything is ok, would like stay again .

Pros: The room rate for two twin beds is nearly twice the rate for a queen size bed. I was traveling with my adult children and selected the queen size bed for our two rooms. The hotel staff informed us that a queen size bed could only be occupied by a married (heterosexual) couple. Strange for a country in which most families live in a single room. The staff relented and we were permitted to make our own sleeping arrangements.
