Sapphire Addis
4.1/539 Reviews

Sapphire Addis

Addis Ababa|2.46km from UNECA Conference Center
I stayed here for almost a month. First week experience was unfortunate as I had to do quarantine for 7 days and the room was uncomfortable. It wasn’t as clean as it could have been at all. The window had no light which made it very hard to work online, especially when you have meetings and daily video meetings. The room was very very cold and no heaters. Some of the lamps didn’t work either, the lightning could be improved. This affected my work The construction opposite the window was quite creepy as it stole all the natural light away and it looks quite scary. During the first week, I was told different information by different staff which was confusing. Unfortunately my COVID results were late, which had me ending up extending my stay for future two days. However the staff did apologise and the manager personally contacted me few times. After the quarantine, I was moved into a much better and cleaner room, which allowed me to work online with good natural light and amenities in the room. Overall the staff was friendly, I could see the chefs cooking with hygiene measures and everyone practiced food hygiene , washing hands etc. Suggestions : I had someone call me at midnight during my first 7 days to say the laundry was ready. It freaked me out as the timing is unacceptable to call a guest at that time. Perhaps better training should be in place. Once I wanted to have a drink in the restaurant/bar and the waiter told me I should drink in my room. Later I saw other people drink in the bar. They should communicate with each other or with the manager to see what’s allowed or not. Staff should communicate more with each other for better understanding so they can inform customers the same thing and not different. The staff should understand that sometimes If the customer feels distressed, you need to acknowledge that and not excuse it. Perhaps because of COVID the rest of the hotel amenities were closed as I was told the bar on 9th floor is closed, there is no spa, the jewellery and gift shop was shut, the gym was not accessible. The location is in perfect location in Bole, close to restaurants and cafes. There is Infiniti cafe right next to the hotel which is great. Overall, I do think the staff were friendly and helpful and tried to help when they could. Some of the staff were extra kind and really reassuring such as one the staff in front desk who helped me change to the new room and directed me to Edna mall and helped with transport etc. Some of the wait staff were really friendly and always asked how I was and how my day was which was sweet and kind. The hotel is safe and secure with security measures. The manager also checked in few times and personally dropped me off to the airport which was reassuring and kind of him. I am hoping to come back soon and I will stay here again when I return to Addis .

Jupiter International Hotel - Cazanchis

Kirkos Addis Ababa|0.28km from UNECA Conference Center
The hotel is located in the central, safe area. Security guards are always outside, and your bag always needs to pass their security check, which is assuring. Unfortunately, I saw roaches in the room I was initially allocated. I first saw it (they were relatively small; perhaps a local version of it) on my second day, and I had to borrow an insect killer. I further saw two more (which I killed) on my fourth day. When I complained this to the receptionist, she was frowned to hear about my insect problems, but did not look surprised. The cleaning manager told me that he will vacuum and then perfume the whole room. I am sure he did it, but unfortunately, another one (this was looked more like a bed bug) appeared, so I asked for a room change. The reception agreed, and I got another room. I stayed in this room over the next 10 days without problems (occasionally flies entered, but that was it). In hindsight, my initial room was directly two floors above their restaurant/kitchen, so perhaps these insects came to my initial room through drains.  Other than that, it was an ok stay though wifi could be very patchy sometimes. Also, cleaning ladies often failed to change my used cups, and placed them again in my room as if they were new. Breakfast was always good, while some dinner menus were better than others (but you can also try Radisson Blu's restaurant too; it's literally next door; their food is more expensive but very good; and their wifi was far better) Overall, if you have sufficient money to stay at Hilton or Radisson Blu, no need to stay here. Otherwise, I would still consider this place as an option.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Addis Ababa

The staff is exceptional and pleasant and the hotel is very secure. Having 2 choices on site for dining was great! Also enjoyed having a place to just lounge around while having a drink and conversation with friends.
Caravan Hotel Addis
3.8/523 Reviews
This run down place does not even deserve a single star. I paid for 7 nights and left the hotel after 1 single night not even asking for a refund! The dirtiest, most derelict hotel i've ever been to in Addis Ababa. I almost electrocuted myself when i tried to take a bath. I opened the water taps and water started bursting from every hole and the floor was flooded in a few seconds. Closed the taps when i realized the water had already inundated the bedroom. Tried to get out the tab and DANGER realized that a plugged electricity socket was literally at floor level and water almost reached it ! I waited for the water to drain, throw 2 towels on the floor and jump out of the bathroom stepping on those dry towels. I left the hotel immediately and even thought of calling the police. The hotel is a big scam.

Ghion Hotel
2.6/527 Reviews
Kirkos
I booked this spot because it was very affordable. Only upon arriving did I realize how huge and classy the place is. Was not expecting a big, sprawling executive style hotel. The place does have an air of faded glory from bygone times, but a very welcome stay. Rugs are worn, furniture in foyer a little beat up, but classy and comfortable throughout. Staff are fantastic, the grounds are enormous and lush, there are many places to sit and relax, and Ghion features a stunning restaurant. A massive, two-tier, round wooden building with a high, circular, peaked roof, in an elegant, sturdy Ethiopian traditional construction. Absolutely beautiful, with wonderful, authentic Ethiopian cuisine at an affordable cost. Wonderful. My only complaint is that, as an old guy with fading eyesight, rooms are dark! Even with all lights on, still tough to read anything, and it took some minutes to get water from the tub or sink to begin running warm. Still, and absolutely gorgeous site, well worth the very modest price. Will happily stay there again any time I return to Addis.

Very nice hotel, 5 star level in Addis Babe, the staff here is amazing. I happened to have my birthday on the day I left, and they even prepared a birthday cake without telling me, which was a great surprise!
