The people are amazing. The hotel is really nice. Convenient to restaurants and café. The only think about this hotel is the noise from the church at night which make me move to another hotel. I would suggest a sound proof window. I understand they cannot stop the church sevice or move their building away. But, they could at least have sound proof windows.

Friendly staff who were able to get me an additional night and last minute transport to the airport. However, there's not really much that the hotel has to offer, i.e. restaurant/bar.

My go-to place to stay!

I always like this place for the cleanliness, simple but functional, close to shops, and the chance to wake up next to a church with morning service. But there are several other reasons, price, relative close distance to Bole, nearby restaurants, shops, coffee shops, etc that make this place an ideal place to stay.
Clean shower
Hot water
Great balcony view of Bole neighborhood

Friendly staff but tired hotel

Very friendly staff, but I had to ask several times to get some toilet roll, despite the room having been cleaned twice since I ran out. Relatively clean, but hotel could just do with a bit of a revamp. Feels very tired. Wifi was also terrible in the rooms. Good location though, and like I said, very friendly and helpful staff.

Worst star

Never got room service and requested it many times. The breakfast was terrible. The internet kept going out. They had only ONE key for the room. The airport shuttle was an old sedan with a trunk that wouldn’t close.

Worst hotel stay ever. Should be a 2 STAR

1. There was no hot water in the bathroom sink. 2. Requesting fresh towels early the next morning and did not get them until the evening that day. 3. The front Desk said they did not have a spare key to my room and told me if I want room service I would have to leave my key or stay in the room. 4. When I told the front desk that I could stay in my room and wait for room service they told me that all of the cleaning service was on break for breakfast and I had to wait. 5. Internet service kept going out and would not stay alone for more than 15 minutes. 6. Airport shuttle service with a broken down old car whose truck would not stay closed and was 30 minutes late picking me up to take us to the airport. I was very lucky that I did not lose any luggage.

All the staff including the receptionists, security guys, sanitation ladies, the cooks, the supervisor( Selam) are all exceptional and try to help you and make your stay wonderful in anyway possible. My room have 2 balconies with different views of Addis. The room itself is spacious. I stayed for 15 days, but only felt like a couple days. Whenever I come to Addis from here on, this will be the place & 608 will be the room I will be staying.
