Ethiopian Airlines changed our flight and put us up here for a night. The only reason it gets 2 stars instead of one is that the staff were friendly and the rooms clean. The rooms were dark, there was no climate control (room were HOT), the mattress harder than a rock and covered with thick plastic. The fitted sheet corners were only about 2” deep so slipped off at the slightest movement… which meant we slept on the plastic. Only 1 small towel was provided for 2 adults. WiFi was very slow to non-existent. Hot water only lasted for about 5 minutes.

The standard room was clean and had a nice view. However, the bathroom was very small and in poor condition. The bed and mattress were old and broken, making it uncomfortable to sleep. Overall, the room seemed poorly managed. They provided only one towel, which was quite disappointing. Given the high price, the service and facilities were below standard compared to other hotels. Not worth the cost.

The only redeeming qualities of this hotel were the staff and WiFi, which is why I’m giving it one star. Beyond that, this is not a place anyone should stay on purpose. Ethiopian Airlines provided this hotel for an overnight layover, but they need to rethink that decision and book passengers somewhere better. The hotel is in a sketchy area, and the noise was unbearable all night long. I think there is a club next door. The room was so outdated that I didn’t even feel comfortable taking my clothes off to sleep. Only one light worked, the lamps weren’t plugged in, and the walls looked dirty. While the linens seemed clean, everything else felt like it shouldn’t be touched. Even the chair in the room had stains on the fabric. It looked like a chair they brought up from the dining area. I didn’t even shower because I couldn’t bring myself to get that comfortable. I also did not eat anything there because I was just uncomfortable. To make things worse, the power went out at 2 AM and stayed off for three hours which I know because I was working remotely during U.S. hours. This was the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had. If Ethiopian Airlines assigns you to this hotel, call immediately and ask to be placed at the Skylight Hotel instead.

One of the worst experiences I've had in Addis. No soap, shampoo nor conditioner. All the electric outlets were not working. One towl for two guests. The lamp was broken. This was a shack in some poor neighborhood motel. PS no matching sandals, lol We paid $50 usd

Dump. Avoid. This is the second time I have been sent here by Ethiopian on a layover - rooms are dark and depressing, might be clean (not enough light to see). Fixtures are falling apart. Cold in the evening. Some staff are OK (cleaning staff was friendly), some are less so. We had breakfast and tried the dinner buffet - some of it was OK.

Sometimes you have to experience the bad to remember why you stay in quality hotels. Here it's convenient, we have everything you shouldn't do. Doors that let in all the noise like windows. An elevator that rings on every floor, transoms that let in the light from the hallway, always on. A dog next door that howls at night. In short, come experience the bad to appreciate the good. The meal is... spicy.

The hotel is comfortable and located in the center of Addis Ababa. Me and my family stayed there for a week. It was lovely nice staff plus good breakfast. The WiFi was also surprisingly very fast. There is also many coffee shops and supermarket around so we had no problem getting what we needed during our stay. Overall good place.

Like most people I ended up there for 1 night on transit with Ethiopian airlines. Hotel is past its best and needs maintenance, although some rooms are better than others. Staff was friendly and helpful. Main 2 issues for me were the bad mattresses and the loud music from accros the street for most of the night (not much the hotel can do about this). Overall it’s ok for 1 transit night

Our flight from Madagascar to UK necessitated a layover in Addis Ababa. We didn’t find out the name of the hotel we would be staying in until we got to Tana Airport. A quick look at Tripadvisor made us think we would be going to a poor hotel. Our experience, however, was quite different to many of the previous reviews. The hotel was about 5 minutes from the airport. We were taken by the hotel shuttle bus. There was a bit of a delay whilst waiting for other passengers. We were welcomed at the hotel by smiling receptionists. We had a large room with a double bed, two armchairs, table, desk and chair, 2-seater sofa, wardrobe and fridge. The bathroom was fine with a good hot water supply. Only one towel between us, but soap and shampoo provided. Dinner was available soon after we arrived - a buffet with bottles of water provided. Breakfast was very good with excellent coffee. The chef/waiter was always smiling. In many ways, the hotel reminded us of basic hotels we stayed in in our younger days in the 1980s. Modern hotel with 21st-century trappings it is not, but for a one-night stopover it is fine. We had a decent night’s sleep which is what you want for a layover.
