Empire Addis International Hotel

This hotel was provided by Ethiopian Airlines for a night layover. Food provided a la carte not tasty. I got room 205 which I completely don’t recommend if you are ever forced to stay there! Room and bathroom with a large clear window that allows everyone in the front building to look at you inside, bad WiFi and noise all night long from the court ward. Besides that, the shower was not running hot water and they do not provide any facilities, except a soap.I have stayed at Skylight hotel on my first way and it was an amazing experience there, I was expecting same service now but this I'm very disappointed this time.

The reception is very poor, the rooms are not clean, the street is dirty, I rented it for two nights and left without sleeping.

Nice hotel, close to the airport, but there is no coffee maker in the room and no sauna, steam room or kitchenette as written in the description of the hotel facilities on trip advisor. The wifi works very good.

Location is terrible. Rooms are run down, with paint peeling, shower enclosures leaking all over the floor, mattress well worn. Bedside lamps have no light bulbs, even staircases are in the dark at night. Would never pay for this hotel. Was put up by Ethiopian Airlines for 2 days, they clearly don't value their customers by putting them up in this dreadful hotel. Not kettle, tea and coffee in rooms.

I want to say big thanks to Mastewal she works on reception for her priceless help I missed my flight and i had 4 nights in this hotel which was unplanned This time is einter season, cold and i did not have warm.cloths with me. I rrally felt cold and Mastewal gave me her coat! So nice and very kind ethiopian lady. She was taking of me like my mom. Thank u Mastewal❤❤❤❤

Did the ethiopia airlines layover here and it was a decent enough room, dinner, and breakfast. But I was really annoyed that they told me it was too dangerous to walk to a nearby restaurant and instead had to use their $20 taxi, and also that they forced me to exchange 60 euros for just one dinner (which cost 5 euro) without telling me that I would not be able to exchange my birr back to dollars or euros or any other international currency, even in the airport. You should only exchange what you need, and you're definitely fine to walk around the neighborhood in the day time. I really hate having to assume that everyone is trying to cheat me in ethiopia, but I suppose it's necessary. Naive on my part I guess.
