I've stayed here at least 4 times in recent years. The staff is always friendly. The breakfast is outstanding. The wifi simply didn't work in the lobby or room, even after asking assistance, it still would not work. The bed is not comfortable but he area is nice and staff always helpful.

We requested transportation a day before our flight but in morning day of my flight the guy at the reception basically told us no, he stated "Tinesh atkoyum ende" while we had 1 hour left for our flight time, what kind of service was that, I mean he made it sound like we were his personal house guest, as a result we had to take a taxi to the airport. Otherwise, the location was very good. Thank you in general.

Expedia charge me more than the regular price of the room coast. You charge me $68 I don’t know about the extra fees you have taken. I extended extra night by $49 :(

4/10

I paid for 1 adult n 1 kid. Getting there the receiption asks for 10 usdollar more saying I should pay more for my kid! I argued n showed that was paid for. Which I declined n was let in. The restaurant waiters when u pay cash please see the receipt, they said a more amount than what was on the receipt m when I tipped they asked shamelessly for the whole change. We stayed there for only 1 night, the bed had a very thin mattress that our bones were painfully. We had to check out the next day from Friendship Hotel and my intentions were to stay 1 week in Ethiopia.
