My stay at this hotel was quite frustrating. The rooms were clean, but the overall maintenance was lacking, and the service had its challenges, especially with the airport shuttle.

After an extensive trip through Ethiopia, I appreciated finding this hotel that was clean and comfortable. It was refreshing to have reliable amenities, especially after the challenges faced at other places. While it might feel a bit dated and could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, the overall experience was satisfactory given the simplicity and convenience to the airport.

I had a really frustrating experience at this hotel. The shuttle service from the airport was confusing and took longer than expected, leading to a disheartening start. The room was not clean, had broken fixtures, and the food was nearly inedible. While the staff attempted to address the issues, it didn't make up for the poor accommodation. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a comfortable stay.
