Two negatives and that's it: 1) the hallways are very loud and you can hear doors closing and the elevator beeping all throughout the night. I slept peacefully with earplugs. 2) The wifi on the floors is very weak. Try the lobby instead. That being said, my room was very nice, the bed very comfortable, the service very good, the... More

This hotel is a bit dated and shabby, but is friendly and clean. You need to overlook the cracked tiles and fraying carpet in the bedrooms. Very helpful and friendly staff, however one of the door guard was a bit rude. (He is tall man).

The advantage of flying with Ethiopian Airline is whenever the transit halt is more than 3 hours or so they offer you transit visa, transport, accommodation and applicable meal (breakfast / lunch / dinner) and its totally FREE OF CHARGES. Since my Mumbai to Addis Ababa Flight was delayed, I missed my Berbera flight and I got the opportunity to... More

I stayed at Panorama for 3 days in Feb 2013. The rooms are so clean and spacious for the price I paid USD 110 for the deluxe room it is good value for money. The breakfast has acceptable options but needs more improvement. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. The wifi connection in my room ( north... More

Due to the meeting of The African Union this was the only Hotel I could get for a 7 day business trip. Rooms were nice, staff were good and the breakfast was "OK", but just OK. It had 3 real big problems: First - if you hold a foreign passport you cannot pay in local currency or Credit Card. Having... More

I spent 24 in Addis Ababa due to an unexpected Layover. Ethiopian Air booked me into The Panorama and gave me some meal vouchers for my stay. Id like to start off my saying this is not a 5 star Hotel. Not even By African Hotel Standards. Ive stayed at 2 star hotels in the middle of nowhere in Uganda... More

I spent the night here after missing a flight at the airport; Ethiopian Airlines arranged a transit visa and insisted I stay at this hotel as part of that package. The value was excellent. For US$50, I received my night's accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner and transport to/from airport. The beds were comfortable and clean enough. The showers had good hot... More

We stayed here on 2 different occasions as part of an organized tour. Our first room was on an upper floor and the bed cover, bathroom and room were worn and dirty. It reminded me of cheap, roadside motels in the U.S. We just arrived in Ethiopia, so we assumed this was how hotels were there. On our second visit,... More
