An in-terminal hotel is so helpful together with really friendly and helpful staff. But over the last 2 years the quality of the hotel has deteriorated in my opinion. For example, although my husband and I always book as a couple, we always have to ask for additional towels and water. We've also noticed maintenence is not up to standard eg overflowing shower drainage, and the smell of both damp and sewage in the corridors. Airport announcements are also loud. Hopefully these are just passing problems.

I often stay at this hotel when I'm transiting through Addis, but this time felt really special. I was welcomed at reception like an old friend by Wasihun and Hailegrorgis, and the check-in process was seamless. My room was in perfect condition and very comfortable. The food options for breakfast were better than before, and it's clear that all feedback is taken seriously. Well done to the Skylight team!

I’m very disappointed as we were given hotel vouchers for myself, husband and 2 young children. The voucher included free breakfast and dinner. When we’re arrived the staff on reception said we have to pay for our breakfast and dinner $25 per person each meal ( totalling $200 ) plus we were charged $50 for an extra bed considering the fact that we had 4 vouchers that I’m assuming covered extra costs for the bed for my sons. A total of $250 I want a refund asap not a happy customer

Needs servicing

Convenient local. Room BO50 smelled of sewer, TV did not work, AC did not work stayed on 25deg. Breakfast was fridge cold, food was prepped the day before. Bed was comfortable, shower had hot water. But really deficient for $180/night when other government hotels close to airport are $50/nite.

On the website it stated all inclusive which is very confusing to my understanding all inclusive means breakfast, lunch and dinner and standard drinks but was no the case once I paid for it.

It's very convenient to stay at this hotel and overall, the facitilites are good and there is decent wifi access. The rooms are not soundproof, however, so the loudspeakers from the departure hall can make it difficult to sleep. There are good attemps with the breakfast buffet and I appreciated the delicous cappucchino.

I was at the reception of this hotel, where I was waiting for my flight the next day... I requested the reservation through Expedia and the amount went to my credit card. When checking in at the Hotel they made me wait for more than 6 hours during the night because they didn't find the payment amount. In short, they didn't make the room available to me and so far the amount is still appearing on my credit card for me to pay. There was a misunderstanding or a coup. This hotel is not worth it for how much trouble it caused. I hope it doesn't happen to more people and I'm already requesting a refund.
