Overall, a decent place to stay in, especially for the price. First booked it online for two nights, then extended my stay for three more at the site, after cancelling my Sheraton Hotel reservation. The breakfast buffet was great - something for everybody’s liking. Did’t get a chance to have lunch and dinner at the same restaurant. However, I had lunch at their Cultural Restaurant and it was amazing. The setup, the artwork, the appeal is unforgettable. Ordered Kitfo for lunch and it was top-notch. Very good gym and pool - nothing to complain about. Haven’t been to the spa yet. Planning to go this afternoon. The staff was second to none. Any minor issues that I had, that are not worth mentioning here, were addressed promptly and professionally.

The hotel is on a busy road and not particularly well laid out but any short comings are made up by the very friendly staff particularly Selamawit Minase and her colleague Sisay who were a credit to the hotel.

Having a cultural restaurant in the basement is the best thing about the Capital Hotel & Spa. The music and dancing were mesmerizing. We had such a great time and the food was delicious! It's also wonderful to be able to work out in the enormous gym and get your hair done in the beauty salon. Such a great place to spend a weekend! Keep it up

Definitely not a 5 star hotel nor a 4 star hotel . Just an average 3 star hotel. Very run down. Needs total revamp. Free shuttle from and to the airport is a plus.

This was my first time staying at this hotel, which I chose somewhat by chance as it was the first option available during my online booking. I later noticed that it had garnered positive feedback from many other customers, which reassured me about my choice. The quality-to-cost ratio was reasonable, and, as is often the case in Addis Ababa, the staff were friendly, approachable, and always ready to assist. While I appreciated my overall experience, I felt that the room facilities did not quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's advertised 5-star rating. There is room for improvement in this regard to better align with the standards typically associated with such a rating.

The checkin was smooth, my booking was a day later than I needed but they booked me a room as a walk-in for a resonance price. Only issue was they didn’t take Amex or Mastercard so had to pay cash. They take dollar based on the day’s exchange rate. The staff was friendly and accommodating but can be slow for room service or at the restaurant.

The door keys did not work so everytime had to ask someone to help open the door with master key. This was super inconvenient and I stayed at the hotel 5 days and it was still not fixed. Staff who helped were super friendly
