hotel is old, rooms are crumbling, furniture is deteriorating. Internet is expensive and very spotty, was down for hours each day. Hotel plays with billing rates and ended up charging me higher than the rate on my confirmed reservation. I was appalled! Hilton charges for airport shuttle, which other 5 stars dont charge for. Not recommended for business travelers, and... More

I stayed at the Hilton Addis for nearly 3 weeks. The property and the location are very nice, but as others have mentioned, the building and rooms themselves are a little bit run down. The Hilton is serviceable for international business travelers, however. In general the staff are nice but poorly trained and managed. A few points: - The furniture... More

Was a bit apprehensive before coming having looked at the photos on the website, but ended up becoming quite fond of the old Hilton, which has developed that look of past glory days. What makes up for it are the friendly people who manage the place and try to do their best with what they have. I was also struck... More

I stayed for just a few days in May 2013, while the AU meetings were also going on. The hotel is completely outdated in many ways, yet everything works just fine. I had a spacious and clean room, with a large bathroom attached. The wired Internet connection acted up, but the business center immediately dispatched someone who fixed the issue... More

I recently stayed at Hilton Addis Ababa during a multi-nation government conference. This property should not be associated with Hilton, unless it is immediately renovated. All amenities are completely lacking (stained and worn-out), and there is a pest issue throughout the hotel. If it weren't for the location (Africa), my rating would have been 1/5. Do yourself a favor and... More

The Hilton hotel is situated in the senter of Addis, Close to everthing. It has a Nice pool area and an excellent gym. The hotel is old and needs upgrading, but it is still Nice and comfortable. Great for families.

This hotel should be avoided. The facilities are run down, the service is poor and their restaurants are simply not worth eating there. The only plus is the heated outdoor swimming pool and the large garden surrounding the property.

Beautiful lobby, beautiful grounds, staff are helpful. But, a bit overpriced, I moved over to the Radisson a few days later and unless the pool and grounds are a major draw for you (the Radisson doesn't have any real outdoor area) I probably wouldn't stay at the Hilton here again. Rooms are dated, internet is expensive and works only hit... More

Went here for a wedding mense and the food and service were impeccable, great attention to service and decorations and food. The party was great and went off without a hitch, although we did get sick from some of the food, not too sure why because everything was well cooked, but still I will be back again
