Verified review

4/10 Fair

We stayed in a 1 bedroom in the eighth-floor Room 851D. This room was supposed to have a full kitchen. But the kitchen had no cooking utensils, The stove did not work. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub, but the tiny shower was very small and tucked in a corner. No matter how much care you take, the bathroom floor is flooded when you take even a short shower. In 2026 a 1 bedroom 'full kitchen' accommodation had no microwave at all, none. The dishwasher was only a decoration. Did not work and there was no dishwasher soap. Food is okay but not really geared towards Western visitors, The usual European sausage and bacon were absent. Staff was however very polite and helpful. I definitely would not stay here or recommend it again

6/10 Good

This hotel is a fantastic choice if you want an economically friendly, budget-conscious local option. The location is absolutely excellent. It places you right in the heart of the action, making transit and exploring very easy. Be aware that property updates are currently inconsistent. Some units in the building have been completely renovated, but the 7th floor has not yet been updated. Because of this, my 7th-floor room felt a bit older, and I encountered several mosquitoes during my stay.

The property has aged. In the room I stayed in, the sink was broken and you can tell it has been broken for some time. The towels were old, the internet was the worst I have had in ages.

The hotel needs to be renovated/deep cleaned. There was a bad smell coming from the drain in the showe. Water leaking from the ceiling. No air conditioning in the hotel, as advertised on the website.

All around Comfort

During my frequent trips to Addis from the US, I was staying in the Hilton or the Sheraton. I decided to try Bole Anbassador Hotel this time around. Following my stay, I decided to make Bole Ambassador Hotel, my all time hotel accommodation in Addis.

2/10 Poor

I booked my hotel stay, over a month in advance, as time approaches i try to contact the hotel, no one replies via app messenger nor telephone. I had a friend go to the hotel, before I arrived, they told my friend she had to speak with the manager to help me, and he was gone. My friend went back again, the staff then stated I canceled my reservation...I couldn't even get a hold off them, I explained this to expedia, they to could make contact. SMDH!

I did NOT stay there. I wrote to you explaining that I gave you the wrong date. There is no way for me to comunicate with you or to correct the mistake. How is a person to do such a thing? I fear that you will not read this either.?? I am only to be in Addis ababa on the night of August 15th and I leave to the airport early on the 16th. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME FIND HOW TO CORRECT THIS MISTAKE!!!!
