4 Star Hotels in Addis Ababa

A decent near and clean hotel. Room size is okay and comfortable. Food is not at all good need to seriously look into this aspect. Not far from the airport. You can a walk on the street many shops and clean roads. Decent staff. Nice small cosy bar at reception.

I stayed here for almost a month. First week experience was unfortunate as I had to do quarantine for 7 days and the room was uncomfortable. It wasn’t as clean as it could have been at all. The window had no light which made it very hard to work online, especially when you have meetings and daily video meetings. The room was very very cold and no heaters. Some of the lamps didn’t work either, the lightning could be improved. This affected my work The construction opposite the window was quite creepy as it stole all the natural light away and it looks quite scary. During the first week, I was told different information by different staff which was confusing. Unfortunately my COVID results were late, which had me ending up extending my stay for future two days. However the staff did apologise and the manager personally contacted me few times. After the quarantine, I was moved into a much better and cleaner room, which allowed me to work online with good natural light and amenities in the room. Overall the staff was friendly, I could see the chefs cooking with hygiene measures and everyone practiced food hygiene , washing hands etc. Suggestions : I had someone call me at midnight during my first 7 days to say the laundry was ready. It freaked me out as the timing is unacceptable to call a guest at that time. Perhaps better training should be in place. Once I wanted to have a drink in the restaurant/bar and the waiter told me I should drink in my room. Later I saw other people drink in the bar. They should communicate with each other or with the manager to see what’s allowed or not. Staff should communicate more with each other for better understanding so they can inform customers the same thing and not different. The staff should understand that sometimes If the customer feels distressed, you need to acknowledge that and not excuse it. Perhaps because of COVID the rest of the hotel amenities were closed as I was told the bar on 9th floor is closed, there is no spa, the jewellery and gift shop was shut, the gym was not accessible. The location is in perfect location in Bole, close to restaurants and cafes. There is Infiniti cafe right next to the hotel which is great. Overall, I do think the staff were friendly and helpful and tried to help when they could. Some of the staff were extra kind and really reassuring such as one the staff in front desk who helped me change to the new room and directed me to Edna mall and helped with transport etc. Some of the wait staff were really friendly and always asked how I was and how my day was which was sweet and kind. The hotel is safe and secure with security measures. The manager also checked in few times and personally dropped me off to the airport which was reassuring and kind of him. I am hoping to come back soon and I will stay here again when I return to Addis .

The shuttle is convenient, the breakfast is generous, the service staff is warm, the parking is convenient, and the security is good. There is no formal Chinese food for breakfast, but who comes out to eat Chinese food in the hotel breakfast? It is really very rich to choose from, and it is worth recommending!

Breakfast is terrible, giving up to one point. You can only eat eggs and porridge every day. Others can't look directly. Watermelon has not been eaten too sweet. Close to the airport, there is a free bus transfer, there are friendsship small shopping malls around, you can also find some Chinese restaurants, but it is very expensive. Hotel service is general, the samples of the exhibitors were not picked up by the customs due to the drag of the hotel staff. . The room light was bad and I was too lazy to change it.

This is about 5 minutes' drive from Bole airport. The hotel is a good sized, well equipped hotel with a nice breakfast for your day. We did need a few things from the staff like the location of a late night pharmacy and they called around and got us the information and directions we needed to help us out. That was huge! The location is amid downtown's restaurants, shops, malls, and more. Even a Burger King a block away. English speaking was perfect! The room was very well appointed with waters, amenities and a really good bathroom.

Recommended business travel stay

We spent 3 nights at this hotel in March and would happily recommend to any future travellers. The room was very comfortable and had a great shower. The hotel is in a good location and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We appreciated the free airport shuttle. Also had a great half day tour of the city with Henok who works at the hotel, and would happily use his services again.
