Beds are comfortable but several guests report maintenance problems (broken shower door, dim lighting, occasional blocked drains, some doors lacking internal locks), giving a mixed impression of room condition.
Amenities
4.5
Significant missing or poor amenities reported: very weak/absent Wi‑Fi, no electric kettle or mini-fridge, no bathrobes/slippers, no gym/spa, and TV issues — amenities are a clear weakness.

Standard quality for this hotel tier; complimentary airport transfers and good location boost perceived value despite shortcomings in facilities and F&B.

Food and breakfast described as limited and basic (mostly eggs), kitchen/café quality seen as low, restaurant hours restrictive — multiple guests advised avoiding the restaurant.

Overall stay is positively influenced by exceptional staff and prime airport-location; maintenance and amenity shortcomings lower the experience but do not fully outweigh the strong service and convenience for short stays.

Good for a short stay if you need to be near the airport, but needs significant upgrades in facilities and internet.
Pros:

Location & Safety: Excellent location near Airport Road in a safe and vibrant neighborhood.
• Cleanliness: Rooms are clean and well-maintained.
• Service: Friendly staff and a generally quiet atmosphere (except for occasional events).
• Airport Shuttle: They offer a great shuttle service. Although I didn't use it upon arrival, they kindly provided a complimentary and welcoming transfer to the airport.

Cons:

Missing Amenities: No electric kettle, no mini-fridge, and no bathrobes/slippers in the room.
• Maintenance: The shower door was broken and couldn't be closed. Lighting in the room was also too dim.
• Poor Wi-Fi: The internet connection was extremely weak and almost unusable.
• Limited Breakfast: Very basic menu (mostly eggs). The kitchen and café quality is generally low.
• Towels: Inconsistent towel service (often only one provided, and sometimes they looked old).
• No Facilities: The hotel lacks a Gym and a Spa.

Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for one month, and overall, it is a beautiful place. It’s clean and conveniently located close to everything.

I would like to highlight two receptionists who were doing a great job—they were very friendly and welcoming. One of them is Biruk, who made my stay more pleasant.

However, I did experience several issues during my stay. One major concern was when a staff member was sent to my room without any prior notice. Despite having a “Do Not Disturb” sign on my door, he knocked repeatedly. When I opened the door, he was very rude and even swore at me. This situation was completely unacceptable and made me feel very uncomfortable.

Another issue was with the laundry service. I asked the hotel to wash a small number of clothes (less than 10 items), but I was charged between 4800 Ethiopian Birr. Later, when I asked people outside the hotel, they told me the normal price should be around 2000 Birr. It felt like I was overcharged, especially as a visitor.

I also had a negative experience with one receptionist who was very rude in both her attitude and the way she spoke. Unfortunately, when I raised these concerns with the manager, he did not take any action and simply responded without resolving the issues. I believe the management team needs better training in handling customer concerns.

In summary, while the hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and in a good location, guests should be cautious. I recommend always asking for prices upfront, especially for services like laundry, and clearly communicating your preferences.

Overall, it was a wonderful stay defined by a beautiful atmosphere and exceptional cleanliness, despite the dining optio
Pros:

What I loved most about the property was the incredible environment and the beautiful surroundings, which perfectly captured the charm of the area. The atmosphere was welcoming and well-maintained, making it a very pleasant place to stay. I was also deeply impressed by the housekeeping staff; the cleanliness was exceptional and their attention to detail was evident every day. It is clear that the team takes great pride in the upkeep of the hotel, and their hard work truly enhanced my overall experience.

Cons:

While I enjoyed many aspects of my stay, I found that the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. The food was unfortunately not very flavorful, and I felt the pricing was a bit high for the quality provided. This was especially noticeable because there are so many local restaurants just outside the property offering delicious, authentic meals at much more reasonable prices. I believe improving the menu or adjusting the value for money would make the guest experience much better.
