Not a particularly good hotel. It’s WAY overpriced for what you get, somewhere in the range of $75-$80 USD for a room with two twin beds. They claim on their website they have internet. This is false you have to use the internet café outside which charges 3 birr/minute. Incidentally this is VERY high for internet (comparable to internet at... More

Generally poor experience. Polished floors in the rooms with small, slippy mats. Broken shower which, when fixed, dripped all night. No bedside lamp. Curtains didn't meet and there was a fluorescent light that flashed outside the window all night. Too far out of the sights and shops in town. No outside space, currently surrounded by building sites. Poor food, especially... More

Absolutely terrible in so many ways it is difficult to know where to start. Although newly built, the place is falling apart. Noisy, smelly, poor service, dreadful breakfast of inedible congealed foodstuffs and one tiny cup of coffee, if you could get any service at all. Axum has a real problem with providing decent accommodation, and this place hasn't taken... More

Don't stay here unless you have a very good sense of humour. No, wait – just don't stay here The latest Bradt guide gives this hotel a very positive review, suggesting that the reviewer has never been within 10 miles of the place. It is situated in the midst of a building site, and is decidedly unfinished at the time... More

I have stayed in about a half-dozen hotels in Ethiopia, and the standard is generally not wonderful. However, this place takes it to a whole new level of awfulness. When I stayed there last month, the hotel was only three years old. The fifth (top) floor was still being built, which led to a lot of construction noise if like... More

I booked in here because it was the only place I could find an active phone number for, and I was advised to book ahead because it was a holiday weekend. There wasn’t much useful information on the website, but it did have the phone number. Anyway, a booking was made and I was told I would be met at... More

This is a modern hotel with a large, spacious bar area and reception and comfortable chairs alonside a decent restaurant. The disadvantage is that it is on the main road and there is no garden. our room on the first floor was a decent-size which looked over the `back yard' and to the houses and hills beyond. It had the... More

The rather new hotel gave a first good impression. Second impression: The staff were very Demanding a replacement beer, I was asked to pay both. And the staff didn´t understand that I didn´t want to pay for the frozen one. Second: The bathroom sink wasn´t connected to the pipe system. So I had to ask for another room. Third: Climbing... More

International hotel which don't live up to its name. We lived on the 4th floor without elevator and with dangerous stairs all of different height. Our deal was with breakfast included for our group but we were still given a bill for breakfast. The breakfast of manily bread and eggs was more expensive than a main dish for dinner. When... More
