It’s really worth it to stay in this hotel.
Pros:

First of all the location, the view, the Restaurant, the live band even in the morning the breakfast everything was perfect !

Cons:

Only the parking garage is a little bit tight to In-N-Out and the passenger elevator is too busy. It’s because of there is a lot of function in the hotel.

Loud Music Ruined the Entire Experience
Pros:

Amazing view and really good food, but the experience was ruined by the extremely loud DJ setup in such a compact space. My date and I could barely hear each other speak, and we even left with headaches. We asked the manager if the volume could be lowered, but the DJ was dismissive and refused to adjust it.

The atmosphere felt more like a cramped club than a lounge, and the service did not match hotel standards either. Disappointing, because the place itself has so much potential.

I made some wonderful memories in a place unfamiliar and by the end of my trip it started to feel like home, thank you.
Pros:

The comfortability of the property, was soon as I was there it felt safe and comfortable, and soon after spending a few days it was just a relief to finally get back to the room, the ambiance of the 360 skybar and the breakfast lounge was unbelievable and I enjoyed it very much, I’m blessed to say I stayed there and I plan on returning again, I was in such a rush I forgot thank the staff, so I’d love to thank them all again properly.

The only thing I would say is the showers were rather cold, but refreshing compared to the heat.

Cons:

I can’t say there was a thing I didn’t like, it was all amazing

Emplacement idéal
Pros:

Bon emplacement au centre d’Addis-Abeba proche de lieux touristiques facilement accessibles en taxi ou à pied. Chambre confortable et petit déjeuner correct. Animation sur le rooftop en soirée.

Cons:

J’avais réservé la navette entre l’aéroport et l’hôtel, confirmé par message. À mon arrivée il n’y avait personne, le chauffeur d’un autre hôtel a pu appeler le Monarch et j’ai attendu +30 minutes que la navette arrive.

Les chambres sont mal isolées et on entend tous les bruits extérieurs en soirée. Ça ne m’empêche pas de dormir mais prévoir des bouchons d’oreilles pour ceux au sommeil léger.

Fairness and professionalism at work
Pros:

Joseph the manager of the breakfast room on the 13th floor, I congratulate him.. most heartfelt because he is very professional in his work. I meet him in the elevator returning back for having found the kitchen closed, Joseph asks me if I had had breakfast and I told him that they had let me back because it was closed and he accompanied me in person and let me serve breakfast as agreed in the direction best regards Alessio

Excellent Reception Team & Outstanding Hospitality
Pros:

I had a very pleasant stay at Monarch Hotel. The reception team especially Hiwot, Hermela, Bethlehem, Tsedey, Yordanos and Bitaniya were welcoming professional and efficient, making check in smooth and stress-free. The overall hospitality was excellent, with staff consistently friendly and attentive throughout my two-weeks stay. I was also impressed with the breakfast which offered a good variety of both local and international options. Everything was fresh and tasty, the dining area was clean and comfortable area. Overall, I highly recommend Monarch Hotel for its excellent service, warm hospitality and quality breakfast.
