Pros:

Property was clean. Staff were good but the staff assume everyone is a transit passenger so they send you to wrong location for breakfast, ask you for a voucher to get the shuttle to airport from airport to hotel which was a bit frustrating.

Pros:

Sky is an amazing hotel located in one of the best neighborhoods in Addis. It’s also an excellent option for red eye flights as it is located very close to the airport and provides free shuttle back and forth. I have stayed multiple times and every single time it has been an exceptional experience.

A good hotel as a building, location and rooms. Howver, the service was terrible and the restaurants were well below what you would expect. The food was poor. I felt unwell, i asked for 3 bananas, they insisted on charging me for a fruit basket.

Pros:

The hotel was lovely with excellent options for delicious meals and beautiful rooms.

If taking the shuttle to the airport, we would suggest leaving plenty of time to arrive since the shuttle was more than 25 minutes late. We were also surprised to arrive and hear that if we wanted to move into our room early, before afternoon check in, we would need to pay an extra 75$ fee even though the room was ready for occupancy.
