I really hated it. Despite the very big room, the cleanliness was below minimum.
The bathroom is a mess as water leaks from all the taps to center of the room - disgusting!
The food is in no way Ethiopian food because it made no sense, tasteless and very little variety at the buffet. If you don't eat from the buffet, that's it, you not have anything else from their kitchen.
Really poor service and am very disappointed airlines accommodate their passengers there. Some of their staff is very rude to customers.
Big thumbs down (👎👎👎). If you can stay away from hotel please do.
The worst hotel I’ve ever been to. We stayed here just 1 night for a 12 hrs flight connection. To start, we couldn’t sleep during the whole night because of the noises the same staff was making!. And on top of that, our transfer to the airport was booked for 9, so we decided to wake up at 8 (enough time for shower and breakfast), but at 8 the receptionist called us to come down straight away because they had decided to depart earlier. so no shower or anything! And when we came down the bus wasn’t even there and we waited until 9 anyway. Horrible experience.
For a country like Ethiopia this is already a very good accommodation. The staff are friendly and hospitable. Just dont expect much of the served food. It is not a place for vegetarian or vegan.
I stayed at this hotel briefly during a layover in Addis. I was put up at the hotel by Ethiopian Airlines because the layover was 12 hours. This hotel is definitely three stars, but the staff were friendly and the room was quiet, clean and generally well equipped.
The rooms at this hotel were nicer than the hotel Ethiopian Airlines put me up in a few weeks ago during the first part of my trip. My only slight was the restaurant. Breakfast was a bit yuck (although standard for Ethiopia). They served over cooked vegetables, hard boiled eggs, french toast, bread, coffee and powdered juice. Nonetheless, I would consider staying at this inexpensive hotel again on my own if needed.
Looking good globally but it comes to the details Afarensis is far from competing with other highly rated hotels. The bathroom of some rooms is dark and lack light. The tap is malfunctioning. The quality of the meal is very poor: you have choice between two types of local varieties and it is not served at the advertised time. The staff working at the restaurant doesn't care speaking to the customers. You have to make the first step. Even though you get minimum answer in (proper) English. Internet connexion worked 50% of the time. During my first stay there WhatsApp was blocked. To summarize, the premises looks great but the service is poor.
Clean with high class furniture. Stewards not very friendly
Nice. Not the greatest. But nice
The worst hotel in Ethiopian, the food was horrible, not many options to choose from, the room 203 was cold, the beddings were not warm enough and they did not smell fresh. The door to the balcony doesn't close, the toilet seat was broken, the carpet was not hoovered properly, chairs in the room dirty and stained. I prefer Beshale hotels than this hotel.
Awesome place. Great staff. Beautiful rooms. But internet is restrictive to only emails and facebook.
Nice and quiet place. We didn't get much options for the buffet at dinner and breakfast
Big rooms. Not so clean. Bad location
very nice experience
need to improve WiFi connectivity.
It was okay but the staff don't speak English very well so they often look really nervous when you make a request. Also staff are quite slow and the cleanliness in the eating area could be improved.
It was good experience although I had some dely from airport departure
My number one choice, fair price best hotel in Addis Ababa
Clean and proximity to Bole International Airport
The hotel itself is neat and well presented and the outside looks rather appealing.
My rooms was quite comfortable and the first impression was of it being luxurious.
Dinner offering was limited and my choice of spaghetti with vegetables was not bad.
Breakfast was ok but with limited offering - the orange juice in dispenser was really good. Transport to and from the airport was good although there was a delay in the trip from the airport to the hotel.
