"Apart from a very good wi-fi, I can say little positive about the hotel. Firstly, the principal reason I chose it was its proximity to my workplace. It quickly turned out the location marked on the map was false. In reality it was not central at all, and roughly 5 km away. After mentioning it, I was offered a free shuttle to go to work and being picked up.

Ramada Addis, Addis Ababa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is excellent. Professional and helpful. And location can’t be beat"

Best Western Plus Addis Ababa

8/10 Good

"The airport transfer worked fairly well, it wasn’t waiting for me on arrival but a quick phone call and it turned up. It was waiting at the set time to return to the airport. I was able to check in a little early which was nice/appreciated and I think the hotel is in a good location for a couple of nights in Addis."

Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great! Everything was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. My overall experience was excellent. The only area that could use improvement is communication through the Hotels.com messaging app. Responses could be quicker and more consistent. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!"

Sheraton Addis, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Addis Ababa

10/10 Excellent

"The entire experience of visiting Addas Ababa, was excellent! The city has a million excellent views, with more than half of them from the Sheraton LUX, which offered it all, convenience, clean, shine and service, we got it all. The best was the staff. I’m coming back soon. As for all the warnings, either someone lying or those some kind soldiers"
