well-equipped room

The hotel, staff room, and food service were fine.Difficult to sleep in due to all the street noise, but that would be a problem anywhere in the town.

Addis Amba Hotel

Overall the hotel was OK. Not bad for the price. The only things that I did not like: there were many mosquito's (luckily they had a net) and a stench in the bathroom (don't think it was mold, but some other unfamiliar and unpleasant stench).

Decent choice in Bahir Dar

The Addis Amba Hotel appears to be a good mid-range choice in Bahir Dar. At the time of writing the Kuriftu remains the best high-end option, but this newer hotel is a good value and probably the best choice in the $50-$75 range or those on business. The Jacaranda looked nice from outside, and may also be worth looking into. The good of the Addis Amba: decent location, attentive staff, excellent internet, clean room, new facilities. The average: restaurant. The bad: room infested with mosquitos, bathroom set-up with toilet underneath showerhead. Overall would recommend lightly given relative lack of better options in Bahir Dar.

Best Available

Though the hotel is not perfect, it is the best available in town. it has the basics, is clean and has a good staff. if you travel to ethiopia, you will not have luxury outide Addis so this is a good one for the city.

Es un hotel bastante pobre en general

Hotel en el centro de la ciudad, muy ruidoso. Olores constantes de comida. Agua insuficiente. El personal del hotel es agradable, pero solo para intentar venderte excursiones y te llegan a agobiar. Dificil comunicacion en ingles. El servicio de wi fi solo funciona correctamente en el lobby del hotel. En la habitacion practicamente imposible. En la puerta se indica que admiten tarjetas de credito aunque hay que pagar todo en metalico porque te dicen que no funciona con tarjeta. En definitiva, bastante decepcionante, ademas nuestra habitacion en la tercera planta y no hay ascensor.

2 Nächte - für Bahir Dar - hervorragend

Leider kein Lift. Hotel ist erst kurz vor der Gesamtfertigstellung. (KEIN Baulärm) Rezeption = 1 verlängerter Schreibtisch mit Leintüchern. Rezeption hat noch keinen Telefonanschluss usw. Trotzdem funktionierte alles perfect

新しく、エチオピアのホテルとしてはよいと思う

まだ新しいようでとてもきれいでした。空港送迎のシャトルバスがあり、エクスペディアで当日予約でしたが連絡なしで来てくれていて助かりました。スタッフはフレンドリーで一生懸命サービスに務めていると思いました。朝のブッフェも簡素ですが、それなりに種類もあり、2泊してちゃんとメニューが変わっていました。が、問題だったのはホテルから空港への送迎。前日7時と言っていたのに、当日7時半と言われ、それでも来ないので請求すると、今からドライバーを起こすから10分待てと言う。8時半発なのに大丈夫、大丈夫とのんきに言われて、めちゃくちゃ焦りました。客が乗り遅れても関係ないと思っているのか?飛行機にはぎりぎり間に合いましたが、他のホテルではエチオピア空港が時間変更が多いからと出発時刻の確認をしてくれたり、2時間前にはついていた方がよいと言われたのに、随分差を感じました。

Vorteilhafte Lage, perfekter Service

Neues Business-Hotel, etwa 1,2 km vom Tana-See (per Tuk-Tuk zur Boots-Marina in 3 Minuten, ca. 5-10 Birr = max. 0,40 €), ca. 7 Minuten per Pedes (1 Minute Tuk-Tuk, max. 5 Birr) zum bekannten regionalem Markt. Vorteilhaft ist, dass man von den Massen an Touts verschont ist, was bei Lage nahe am See zur Plage werden kann. Gratis-Internet Breitband-WiFi, das aber wie überall in Äthiopien zeitweise schwächelt oder ganz ausssetzt. Geräumiger Restaurantbereich mit Bar, Buffet und à la carte, International-TV auf Wunsch.. Ansonsten sind alle Einrichtungen eines ***-Hotels vorhanden, wenn auch manchmal in verbesserungswürdigem Zustand. Solche Kleinmängel sind allerdings verbreitet in Äthiopien mangels ausgebildeter Fachkräfte in Gästezimmer-Design sowie Elektro- und Sanitärinstallation. Man findet dies auch in der oberen Kategorie der ****- und *****-Hotels wie z.B. dem Homland, das viel zu weit abgelegen ist. ----- Allgemeiner Hinweis außerhalb der Hotel-Bewertung: Selbsternannte Reisebegleiter und 'Tour-Veranstalter' verlangen grundsätzlich von Touristen mehrfache Preise als offitieller Tarif. Gegenwehr: Niemals auf ein 'Pauschalangebot' eingehen, lieber zuvor die Preistafeln vor Ort in Ruhe checken (z.B. Boots-Marina, Klöster und Kirchen, Blue Nile Falls), dann darauf bestehen. Ein Tip von 10-20 % für einen Guide mag angemessen sein, nicht aber doppelter bis drei- / vierfacher Tarif. Selbst die offziellen Tarife sind für Ausländer nämlich vorhinein angehoben genug.
