Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beyond my expectations, super quiet and cozy, though there was a slight smell of smoke. The service was top-notch with incredibly friendly staff who were quick to help with anything. The location is brilliant, very close to major hotspots in Addis Ababa, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The dining options were overwhelming with a variety of choices to enjoy. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel has spacious and clean rooms, but unfortunately, there is no view, and accessing the room requires changing elevators, which is not very convenient. The service is fast and good, and the location is near major hot spots in Addis Ababa. The dining options are overwhelming, but not up to five-star hotel standards.
The hotel rooms are extremely comfortable, beautifully designed, and clean. They block noise well but lack a bathtub, which leads to the bathroom flooding during showers. The service is helpful and attentive, with good breakfast options; however, being asked to pay a high amount can be disappointing. The location is fantastic, especially for those enjoying a lively area like Bole in Addis Ababa with easy access to eateries, entertainment, and shopping. On the downside, the dining experience does not fully reflect the hotel's star rating and could offer more variety. Despite that, the overall value for money is reasonable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being spacious and clean as advertised, had a very outdated decor that felt odd for a relatively new establishment. On the other hand, the service was top-notch with friendly and professional staff, although there was one incident of rudeness that stood out. The location was convenient, with easy access to various dining and entertainment options, especially in the vibrant Bole area. The dining choices were varied, although some aspects were tailored more towards local guests. Overall, it was a decent stay with some noticeable quirks.
The hotel has some great facilities and a very helpful staff, making the stay enjoyable overall. However, the room decor feels outdated, which is unexpected for a relatively new hotel.
