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.

الفندق ممتاز ومريح نفسيا خاصة مع الإطلالة ولكن هناك ملاحظات على بعض الأشياء صيانة ملحات الشور والدش / حرارة الماء خفيفة يعني دافية وليست حاره أيضا الروائح التي تكون من البوفيه تبع الفندق لها تأثير على الفندق ولا يوجد تعطير جيد للفندق وحقيقة فيه هدوووء جميل
