ذا ريزيدنس سويت هوتل

Large 1 BR with a balcony. The shower needs updating. It drains slowly and it leaves a big puddle on the floor. Breakfast is alright.

We stayed in this hotel for 10 days. The room was spacious and clean. The service was also excellent. I would recommend this hotel for a stay in Addis Ababa

The hotel should not be rated as 4 star, but 3 star. It was quite expensive but not worth the value. The location is not good. There was no plaque where the fridge and kettle were. Despite ADD know for its good coffee, there was not coffee at all in the room . The two first nights we had mosquitos in the room :( The staff were friendly and tried to help, but they did not know much about ADD. Breakfast was ok, but they did not have some of the things listed.

Addis Ababa was surprisingly better then I thought as it was my first time in Ethiopia. The hotel was down a side street and the adjacent road a dirt track. The hotel itself was nice with large rooms and the staff which is the most important were so helpful.

Just make sure you tell them what terminal you will be at for pick up

Ethiopian-run hotel in the city center, very close to the UNECA HQ.

great service

The hotel is just off Olympia circle about 15 minutes up from Bole airport. They have a shuttle service that will pick you up, just call to let them know when you’re coming. The suite room was large, with a king bed, couch, and full living area with mini-fridge, bar area, and microwave. All very tasteful and modern. Wide windows and full bath. They supplied toothbrush and grooming kit in addition to regular soaps and shampoo. Restaurant was decent with some local and some “mainstream Western” fair. Breakfast was eggs and toast mainly with fresh squeezed juice and good coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They put me in touch with a great guide (Desi) and confirmed my travel plans made sense and were doable. They can exchange USD and Euro for local Birr, and didn’t mess with the exchange rate pricing. I would recommend getting a room on a top floor, as you can street noise in the early morning, which isn’t great for those who want to sleep in.

Friendly and helpful staff. Arranged taxis for us for nights out.

Excellent resident suite, away from the hustle but off road was under construction so felt a little rough. The room was beautiful and spacious, my son and I enjoyed living there for the 2 days. Book the tour guide, John, he came with a car and driver and took us out on both days, we had a fantastic time, especially on Mount Entoto with the snow, in the summer.
