Cultural Differences

The good things: The place is clean, people are continually cleaning. In the evening and early morning, the two men were excellent assistants with our luggage. When our planned early morning airport ride could not come due to road closures (the return of the Prime Minister), the young man went to the street to get a taxi for us. Alternatively, our room did not look like the photo here, but we did request a room no higher than the first floor. It was okay and the shower had hot water. Strangely, a young man came to the door our first night and took our table away, without an explanation due to lack of English. We had to put all our things on the floor and never received the table back again. Also strange, though breakfast was included, when I asked for a second cup of coffee, I was charged for it.

The hotel is in the midst of everything. However, note: Taxi drivers do not know this hotel. Use the Washington Hotel across the street as the landmark. NOTE 2: There is NO elevator. The building has four floors. Remember Addis is 6,300 ft above sea levels and you will feel it!! Otherwise the hotel is a great stay. The Full breakfast in the morning is great too.

Nice budget hotel. Some rooms are better than others - tradeoff between number of flights to climb and quality of room. One of the rooms we visited was bigger buut had unpleaseant smell, while the smaller one was actually more comfortable and clean. Pickup shuttle from airport did not work as planned but for 200 bir you can get easily a cab to bring you there on your own, it simplifies things. Staff is pleasant and courteous.

Excellent hotel in an ideal location. (lots to do within walking distance) Although this hotel is extremely local to restaurants, cafes, nightlife and banks, it still manages to be pretty quiet and private. It is the best of both worlds. The staff are very polite and attentive. They were very knowledgable and were able to give plenty of advice on things to do and where to go. I am extremely happy with the quality and my experience at this hotel. My only disappointment was having to eventually go home. A big thumbs up from me.

Just Passing Through

Room smelled like smoke and the carpet was damp and mildewy. Safe didn't work. Door came off the wardrobe when I tried to open it and it nearly fell on my daughter. Rooms on the 1st floor right above the bar area, where music and the scraping of chairs on floors kept us up until midnight. Ordered a tea and three waters at breakfast and got four teas. Ordered three scrambled eggs and one omelette and got three fried eggs and one scrambled, from a server who was clearly trying but did not speak English. Perhaps pictures on the menu we could point to for him. "Shuttle" to the airport was some random guy in a car. Wifi worked fine. Bathroom only had one towel for four guests. Spare pillow covered in dirt and hair.

What i like came after some furstration , the Night staff were eager to help once at the location but it was hard to locate and the phone number available online is that of the owner? Who wasnt going to answer an after hour calls ofcourse so that was furstrating. Need to update there contact details. Room was clean but for that kind of money i expected better no soap nothing in the fridge the door frame was sorta coming off though not easily noticed . Didnt have tissue but was provided onces asked . So the advise i would give is though i have laid out every little faults its not all about what wasn't available and already in the room its more about how the staff were quick to say our apologies we will get you whatever you need right away. Thank you staff at HH. 2Star for me.

Very nice hotel

We spent a full week in Addis at the Home Town Addis. The management was very helpful and friendly. English was excellent as he grew up in DC. That alone was very helpful. Rooms were clean and we appreciated the daily free water. Breakfast were not extensive but fine. Beds were comfortable. Location was close to a lot of things. We felt completely safe and comfortable while in the Hotel. I would recommend this hotel to anyone especially Americans visiting the city. There were 4 of us and we had a Family suite which consisted of two rooms tied together with a private little entry way. This was very nice. The only compliant I had was the sewer smell in one of the bathrooms would not go away, but it was not that strong and nothing could be done so we lived with the door shut and were fine. Showers were wonderful with each room having its own water heater. Great to have hot water. And the WiFi although not real fast, actually worked almost all of the time. Amazing!!
