객실/호텔 청결도 객실은 청소 상태가 양호하고, 메트리스가 깨끗하며 편안합니다. 객실 내부는 깔끔하고, 청결합니다. 호텔 외관은 낡았지만, 내부는 리모델링 한 듯 깔끔합니다. 서비스 품질 호텔 직원은 매우 친절합니다. 공항 Pick-up괴ㅏ Drop-off는 무료입니다. 호텔 편의 시설 엘리베이터가 있어서 편리합니다. 객실 내 수압이 좋아 물이 아주 잘 나옵니다. 에어컨과 선풍기는 구비되어 있지 않습니다. 또한, 샤워용품(샴푸, 바디젤)도 구비되지 않았습니다. 생수 한병(싱글룸 기준)은 구비되어 있습니다. 호텔 맨 윗층에 올라가면 근처를 한 눈에 내려다 볼 수 있습니다. 인터넷은 빠르진 않지만 대체로 잘 터집니다. 호텔 위치 공항과는 10분 거리로 매우 가깝습니다. 랜드마크 지역(에드나 몰)과는 조금 멀리있지만, 지상열차역(10분 내)과는 가깝습니다. 랜드마크로 가는 방향은 차가 많이 막히고, 복잡합니다. 대체로 만족합니다.

It is located close to the airport, and has friendly staff. The food is very good. The rooms are clean. Nice warm water in the shower. The only problem with this hotel is that the area around it is a bit noisy all throughout the night.

Decent Hotel in Sleazy Area

We had a good stay at the Wudasie Hotel, but we were warned by a number of locals that it is somewhat of a Red Light District at night. It is NOT the hotel's fault, and we never felt threatened in the hotel, but it was highly advised that we not walk around at night. There was a very sleazy club next door, and quite a lot of music noise at night (I use white noise and ear plugs so wasn't bothered much). The food at the hotel is GREAT! It was a really good transition for us coming from the USA and wanting to have safe food to fall back on. Their cooks are excellent (it's a small, humble kitchen with a basic menu which we enjoyed very much).

良い点 ①部屋が広い ②従業員が親切悪い点 ①到着時間に空港出口にシャトルバスがいなかかったため電話で呼ぶことになりました。　事前に到着時間を知らせる意味がない。 ②シャワーや洗面台から水が漏れ、靴下がびちょびちょになりました。 ③朝晩は冷えるのですが、部屋が広いこともありシャワー浴びた後が特に寒いです。 ④空港までのシャトルバスの時間を記載したにも関わらず再度確認をしなければならない　（シャトルバスの用意をしていなかった様子でした）

Pros and Cons

I had the misfortune of having my cellphone stolen while walking near Meskel Square. The staff, especially the night manager, and several day employees were wonderful helping me deal with a very unpleasant situation. The rooms at Wudasie are clean, functional, beds are comfortable, plenty of hot water , but dogs barking every night from 10 until 1 or 2 was annoying. Neighborhood okay..

Best Hotel in Addis Ababa

I checked-in with lower expectation, as I had tried most the top hotels in Addis Ababa & always had issues despite paying much more money on the rooms & the brand. This hotel is a small hotel type, simple yet beautiful Ethiopian themed design. The bath tub fills up with extremely hot water which is hard to find in most hotels, finally the price was good for Addis Ababa standards. Staff are excellent...highly recommended
