Addis Ababa Hotels with Bars

We stayed in the DoubleTree Hilton Addis Ababa as part of a two-day layover. A hotel shuttle bus transferred us from the airport, which took around five minutes, so very convenient. (We were expecting a hotel rep to greet us at the arrivals hall, but you need to exit the airport, go to the car park and find the bus.) The hotel is in a brightly-lit location; it's nice, clean and modern. The service is excellent: we received a warm reception and checked in swiftly - important if you're arriving late at night. The service at breakfast and elsewhere was equally excellent. Thank you! Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed but we ordered room service, which was OK. The room facilities are very good: comfy bed/pillows and a good selection of amenities. The biggest issue is the shower: there was no hot water, so we had to ring for help. Someone came quickly, but it wasn't ideal especially as it was very late. The same thing happened throughout the rest of the stay. Also, the water from the shower overflowed onto the floor and, unless stopped with a towel, continued through into the room. Given that this is a 4/5-star hotel, this isn't acceptable. If the DoubleTree could resolve this, it would be the hotel of choice.

Stayed here during the Meskel holidays. Checking in took some time (2 hours of waiting) since we had no choice but to go to the hotel early before the roads close. Place has modern amenities that made for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is okay, a good selection for vegans and health conscious alike.

We had a wonderful experience during our stay. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the staff were warm and welcoming throughout. We were especially impressed by the team who served us breakfast and provided room service. The women, including Melat, were incredibly kind and friendly — starting our mornings with her bright smile truly made our stay even more enjoyable.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Marriott Executive Apartments. The staff were professional and welcoming, the room very comfortable and the breakfast spread was really good with lots of choice.  The location is good, easy to get to from the airport using the Ride app and then centrally located for sightseeing. We didn't use the kitchen in our room, but it seemed to have everything in it. Some of the fixtures in the bathroom (particularly the shower) were dated and could use an upgrade but it didn't bother us. Overall a great choice for Addis visits.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a good experience. The service was consistently friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home when I arrived. One of the best features is its convenient location near various Western restaurants, making dining out easy. Additionally, the hotel offers a free bus service to the airport, which is a significant plus. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The large eating area was another highlight, offering a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The menu options were diverse, catering to various tastes.

Excellent budget hotel very near the airport. Free shuttle service to and fro from airport. Please whatsapp them for shuttle service. 24 hour restaurant with a fairly extensive Ethiopian and Western menu. Good breakfast. No complains about the room or bed.

Ethiopian Skylight In-Terminal is a five-star hotel located directly inside Addis Ababa Bole International Airport’s Terminal 2, making it extremely convenient for transit passengers who want to rest without leaving the airport. It features modern rooms, a full-service restaurant, free Wi-Fi, and 24-hour reception. However, many rooms lack natural light because they face the terminal interior, which can make them feel enclosed, and guests have reported inconsistent service along with a slow or sometimes difficult check-in experience.

Some staff were good and front desk manager during the day but it's poor over the phone in the night and restaurant waitress. Couple of days we asked staff simple stuff, like butter and we was told, there's no butter and almost everyday breakfast it was the same except on Saturday, they provided samusas. There breakfast is very heavy 😕 😫.. rice, anjera eithopian pancake with mixed with eithopian spice sauce, different bread, mixed cooked vegetable, cooked cabbage, cupcakes, cakes and arabian beans and cold porridge make with water and one choice of cereal. The room is big but the cleaning is not good and we found cockrach but we already informed the front desk manager. Overall poor service, poor quality of food and poor cleaning.

The front desk clerk and the boss were very welcoming. Since we didn't speak the same language, the clerk spoke very good English and helped us explain in detail to the driver where we were going, making us feel like family!
