The 10 best hotels in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

August 11, 2022 Oliva Fomby

Sometimes referred to as the capital of Africa, Addis Ababa is a buzzing hub of economic, social and political activity and home to such notable offices as the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. The diversity of its people is reflected in the many churches, mosques and museums, including the Ethiopian National Museum which houses the fossilized skeleton of Dinkinesh, or Lucy, the Australopithecine discovered in the area in the 1970s.

Excellent and Caring Customer Service

Reviewed By Roc-Global

The mother of a friend of mine needed medical treatment in Addis, so I secured funds to fly the two of them and a helper to Addis. Since the mother is in a wheelchair and unable to walk, I scouted out the BW Pearl the day prior to their arrival. I inquired about the airport shuttle, walked through the route the mother would take to her to her room, looked at the accessible room, and met some of the staff. Everything was to my satisfaction, so I booked two standard rooms. The day of my friend’s arrival, things went as planned. I was very happy with the hotel staff’s treatment of my friend’s mother. I had a couple of meals at the hotel (nice breakfast spread, by the way) and got good feedback from my friends about the room. My personal experience was very positive, as was my guests. I decided to add an additional 5 nights because of the positive experience. Shout out to Mesfin for going above and beyond.

Excellent staff, especially at the reservation, and breakfast restaurant

Reviewed By AddisCap123

I stayed almost a month and it's a nice experience. Staff, especially the restaurant manager whom I found professional, and the waitresses (Meseret and Hiwot) at breakfast are very helpful, friendly and tried to accommodate my needs. The room is fine but due to the hotel location, there are traffic noise. Otherwise, it's central and easy to reach many places on foot. The hotel has a very good SPA and fitness center. Staff are also friendly and helpful. I recommend the hotel for visitors, especially business travelers, as it's convenient and value for many.

Great experience

Reviewed By djm939

Stayed in April, 2022. Was wonderful. Internet always worked, nice warm swimming pool, nice grounds to walk around, activities: tennis, volleyball, basketball, gym, spa, very convenient shopping, 24hr banking on-site, friendly polite atmosphere. Easy to meet people if you want, or keep to yourself if you want. Great place to get picked up and dropped off, because you don't have to wait in the street, or get dropped off in the street. Location is central. Was very clean, no bugs, building is a bit dated, but to me it added to the charm as it has so much history. Staff was professional, friendly, and responsive to anything I asked. Hope to be back someday.

A high-quality luxury hotel

Reviewed By kuu-kanko

Everything at the hotel speaks of high quality. A classy lobby, a nice room, great service, etc. However unlike typically in luxury hotels, the services and the restaurant were very reasonably priced. Upon departure I had a little bit of cash left which I thought I wouldn't be able to use for anything. I had a good dinner in the hotel restaurant and was prepared to pay by card, but to my surprise my remaining cash (worth less than 5 euros) was enough for the dinner. Airport transfer was even included in the room price and it was not a bus ride but a private transfer! It was in an area with a lot of new development going on. Right now there were construction sites all around and the roads around were still dirt roads, but I assume that will change in a year or two. Meskel Square was within walking distance and there was a light rail stop nearby.

Needs modernizing

Reviewed By colina918

Good and bad sides of its position: busy area, plenty of restaurants, close to airport. Noisy, surrounded by construction sites, dusty road. Waited over an hour to be picked up at the airport, and had to borrow a phone twice to secure transport. Staff friendly and helpful. Some of the reception staff speak good English.
