Pros:

Preis Leistung sehr gut! Kontaktaufnahme vor der Anreise allerdings sehr schlecht. Offenbar können die kein Englisch bearbeiten. Haben angeblich keine meiner drei E-Mauls bekommen. Wenn ich keinen Freund vor Ot gehabt hätte, der in das Hotel gegangen wäre, um eine Klärung herbeizuführen, hätte der Flughafentransfer nicht geklappt.

Struttura un po’ vecchia, ma con tanti servizi palestra, spa attrezzata, due ristoranti di cui uno tradizionale. Anche molto sicura, vicina al palazzo di polizia.

Comfortable, clean hotel
Pros:

Clean and comfortable with competent staff. The free breakfasts have a wide variety of dishes, and you can order omelettes for no extra charge. The staff speak English reasonably well, so logistics are fairly easy (getting taxis, changing booking details, etc.). The rooms are spacious and offer nice views of the city.

The only negatives are things beyond the hotel's control: occasional city-wide power outages and water shutoffs.

Excellent value for money
Pros:

Good value for money hotel. Small but adequate balcony affords lovely views of the daily comings and goings of the city and the mountains in the background. Great place to spend a day or two acclimatising to the altitude.
Easy walking distance to St George's Church and can also walk to the main museums.
Food adequate to good.
Affordable laundry service.
Only downside was the erratic internet service and inadequate hot water.

Pros:

This hotel is a useful base with friendly staff, airport pick up and clean, nice rooms. The noise at night is constant on the rooms that face the road, for instance room 603.

gutes sicheres afrikanisches Hotel
Pros:

Gutes afrikanisches Hotel, dem Preis angemessen, Personal ist freundlich.
Die Kundschaft im Hotel ist durch die Lage und dem Preis gegebenen.
Als Ferienhotel aber nicht geeignet, für kurzen Trip ok.

Hôtel correct et bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Quelques soucis dans la fourniture de l'énergie électrique dus aux travaux en cours dans le secteur. Le générateur ne prends pas toujours le relai. Ceci cause quelques désagréments, notamment au niveau des ascenseurs.

Loin et vieux
Pros:

Hôtel très excentré, et peu pratique pour les voyages d'affaires. Le trafic est intense et on perd beaucoup de temps en transports.
Personnel aimable. Locaux vieillots. Chambre correcte, à la propreté approximative. Pas d'isolation sonore sur la rue passante. Pas de rideaux opaques. Difficile de dormir si l'on est sensible au bruit et à la lumière.

Good location if you want to stay N of the Piaza
Pros:

Decent place. Decent rate when on sale. Hotel staff are a bit shy but nice. Good location (near all the sights up in the north end of town). You need to call for airport pick-up (they didnt reply to emails).

Best value in Addis
Pros:

I've been to Addis many times, and currently this is the hotel that gives you about the best value for money. The eggs for the breakfast are overboiled, and I am overall not fond of the breakfast meal, but apart from that, this is a good hotel with spotless cleaning and good service. Transport to and from airport is a pro, but one sometimes has to call when arriving at the airport to make sure they are there (I have stayed at the hotel four times). I will come again. There is now wireless Internet connection on every floor (two connection points on each floor).
