I was here a few days for a meeting, the hotel is nice, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the view from the rooms is not always interesting though, the staff is super nice and ready to assist you/help you. The food is very good (especially the international breakfast). Highly recommended!

The rooms are their best selling point, spacious and with all utilities necessary for accomodation. The food are not that good, waiter service is below average. They may bring for you something you have not ordered for but that is common in whole Adis Ababa. its next to the main highway and parking slot is quite a problem. Its a nice situated place with extra security near UN offices.
