"I’ve stayed here several times for more than a week at a time over the years because I need to be in this particular area. This is not a fancy hotel, but for the price, it is great. The rooms are as pictured in the photos. Simple, but always clean and the staff are extremely nice. As with much of Addis, the area around it is changing/developing dramatically. If you need to be in the Arada or Amist Kilo area, I’d stay here."

"I stayed for one night at this 'hotel'. That was more than enough. The hotel supposedly had no record of my Hotels.com booking, which had been paid for. The internet never worked. Staff promised it would be fixed and provided numerous excuses. The tv had one English-speaking channel: Al Jazeera. The manager/owner 'fixed' it...for a matter of minutes. The in-room refrigerator was not plugged in...because there was no electrical outlet. The manager/owner indicated he would "look at it." The...

"Apart from a very good wi-fi, I can say little positive about the hotel. Firstly, the principal reason I chose it was its proximity to my workplace. It quickly turned out the location marked on the map was false. In reality it was not central at all, and roughly 5 km away. After mentioning it, I was offered a free shuttle to go to work and being picked up. Yet, each time I needed to go, either the shuttle was not available or the driver was suddenly far away (even though the shuttle car was...

"The hotel is really great . A great manager and staff , while some didn’t really speak good English but others could communicate with us. For a longer stay it is better to update the bed which was a little hard for us and kitchen to have utensils or dishware ( stove ) . For the cuisine , more options would be more great. But in all such a nice locations to unity park and friendship square. It was safe , calm environment. I enjoyed our stay with our kid"
