I had a wonderful stay at Best Western Plus Pearl Addis! The facility was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent, and I especially want to give a big shout-out to Martha, who prepared and served Gebena buna (traditional Ethiopian coffee) every morning—it was a real highlight of my stay. The only area for improvement would be the air circulation in the bathroom. Since the air conditioning works with the key card, there was sometimes an unpleasant smell when the system wasn’t running. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely stay here again!

Room for Improvement—Overall A Nice Hotel.

Overall the hotel staff was friendly and courteous, however, the hotel does need some renovations and upgrading in terms of room facilities. The door to the room and the safe box were not working properly throughout my stay. The staff did their best to rectify the problem.

The staff is very attentive and friendly. The dining room is lovely and provides a nice ambiance. Breakfast buffet is very good. Shower was hot and did not leak outside of shower onto bathroom floor. The bad was very comfortable. I could control the air temperature in the room which was very nice. Lots of places to sit and visit with guests. Great location.
