Tirar International Hotel

The hotel told me they could not honor the payment I made through hotels.com and they asked me to pay them directly. In the end I was double billed for the same stay. I would strongly recommend avoiding this hotel if you go to Addis Ababa. I am a platinum member and long time customer of hotels.com but I am no longer going to use them after this trip. They should not be advertising such shady hotels on their site.

Welcoming, helpful staff. Good to pay at the hotel rather than online.

Check-in was difficult because of the lack of English. The clerk assumed I was a transit customer who should have an airline voucher. I could not get her to understand that I should have had a reservation. I got woken up at 5:30 am and again at 6:30 am to be told the shuttle was leaving for the airport. I think I finally persuaded them I was not going to the airport!

My bathroom had no toilet seat. I was offered another room which was far better, although I could not get hot water at the sink, the shower handheld device leaked, and it seemed that the toilet leaked.

They also told me that they had no arrangement with Expedia and so I had to pay again.

Je viens de séjourner à Tirar International Hotel et j’ai très apprécié. Le rapport qualité/prix est largement favorable à cet hôtel. Le service supplémentaire du bus qui nous dépose et nous cherche du centre de conférence de l’union africaine est une surprise agréable. En somme, je reviendrai certainement à Tirar pour mon prochain séjour à Addis-Abeba et je le conseillerai à tous.

Great staff, comfortable room with a few quirks like showerhead not connected properly but the good far out ways the bad.
