​I had a wonderful stay at the Sapphire Addis. The location is perfect—very close to the airport and within easy reach of the city's main attractions and business hubs. ​The service was the highlight of my stay; the staff were incredibly attentive and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. My room was spacious, modern, and kept impeccably clean. I also highly recommend the breakfast buffet, which had a great variety of both local and international options. Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, this is a top-tier choice in Addis Ababa!

The location is great, staff are very helpful and attentive, the room is clean overall I am very much satisfied with my stay. The only issue I had, even those the room was advertised to accommodate for 4 people there was no space for my child. It looks like there is miss communication between Expedia and the hotel.

The Sapphire Addis Hotel in Bole is a consistently excellent choice, particularly valued for its proximity to the airport and locations like Edna Mall. I stayed at the hotel for two days and I greatly appreciated the clean, spacious rooms. The staff are efficient, friendly and very accommodating The gym is well maintained, clean and has all the essential equipments. It also comes with amenities such as the Watermelon Spa. The breakfast is generous and offers both local and international varieties. A minor inconvenience, the street outside of the hotel is under renovation at the moment, even though it’s expected to be completed very soon. In general the hotel offers very reliable comfort and value and I highly recommend it for both business and leisure visits to Addis Ababa.

Great location in Bole area, quick drive to the airport. I was expecting for a hotel at this level to at least have AC in their rooms. The breakfast was not up to the expectations, it was really not good! The front desk were friendly and the hotel staff overall were always nice.

Overall, It’s a great place! The rooms are well maintained but the carpet looks a bit old and not very attractive to the eye. However, it still looks very clean and without any smell. The breakfast is wonderful. I have found everything so tasty. The lobby area is so cozy to sit for long. The spa service is great. Staff in the spa area look so committed to maintain its quality. I have enjoyed the steam but I would rather have small bulb in the room. I didn’t find it very comfortable to sit in the dark with only small light from outside.
