Great hotel with friendly staff

I had a wonderful stay at Monarch Hotel. The room was comfortable and the staff very pleasant and helpful. This made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel has several restaurants. I liked the 360 restaurant that has a great view and is always lively in the evenings. I enjoyed the diner and drinks there on several occasions.

6/10 Good

The staff were relatively friendly. But I did not like the fact that it’s noisy all the time. There was construction going on at all times, I felt restless.
Odeth, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

The area is unfinished and dirty and the room has smelled. This hotel needs attention to its cleanliness.
Dereje, 15-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is good value for the money. The rooms are spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. A church and mosque are nearby so expect early morning prayers from around 4 am. That and the dogs barking mean that ear plugs are advisable. The restaurant on the rooftop is popular with locals and the food is pretty good. I liked that the park was within walking distance. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel holds ID because of mini bar and there is a loud noise at night from the bar at the top. They should plan to put a credit card hold as an alternative to those who don’t wish their ID locked in.
Moges, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Shower leaks, toilet backup, power cuts, No hot or cold water at times. Extremely spotty WiFi. You’re Expedia booking will be questioned even if you already paid in full. One great thing about this place the rooftop bar/ lounge has an amazing view of the city and the food is tasty. And they offer airport drop-off. So if you have a short stay and won't spend much time in your room fo for. It

No stay due to long Visa process

I was not able to experience the hotel due to lack of visa. I paid for Ethiopia eVisa to process in 24 hours. 5 days later i still have no visa. So I never made it into the country.
Samuel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Only 1 emergency exit

There are emergency exists that don't lead to an exit. When you leave the room they indicate right or left, those leading right take you nowhere. This leaves the hotel with only one way out (the main staircase). Unfortunately, I will not be able to stay there again due to security concerns.

Terrible communication
Ezra, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Pathetic service, pathetic staff, pathetic attitude. Employees at desk have zero clue, are inexperienced. At their restaurant, people are just in hurry to complete their shift and go home. Customer Experience term is non-existant in their overall staff dictionary. Must refrain from such properties so they do not survive to ruin the industry.

This is NOT a four star hotel, far from it! NO GO

Do not be fooled, this is NOT a four star hotel. We had a terrible stay at this hotel in early May 2005. We expected a normal hotel but this was very much below our standards. There is also NO air conditioning so the room was too hot to sleep in, and the street outside was so noisy so it is difficult to leave the balcony door open. The balcony door did not close properly tho, so we were still disturbed by the street noise / construction going on just outside. Before arriving we e-mailed the hotel two times to book the airport pickup. They did not reply to the e-mails. They list a few phone numbers on their website but do not seem to work. When we finally could reach them they told us the driver would meet us in the arrival hall with a sign with my name on it. He did not. After a terrible first nights sleep we asked the reception to change room. After waiting a while they told us we were in "the best room" already and could not understand why we would want to change room. Eventually they allowed us to change rooms if we paid extra, which we did. Only ONE (!!) elevator was working during our stay, so expect 10-15 minute wait ech time. The breakfast in the top floor restaurant was so chaotic and bad that we left and did not go back the other mornings. At check-out the staff suddenly wanted to charge us for two extra bottles on water because we had changed rooms, even though we changed rooms because the first one was so terrible we could not stay in it. Laughable but true.
