The staff at the desk is SO UNHELPFUL. I showed up having booked through Expedia and was promptly informed they had no rooms available. I called Expedia, and after a customer agent talked to the receptionist she then informed me that they DID have rooms available. In fact they actually had several rooms available, since they then proceeded to put me in the wrong room (a smaller room with twin beds much cheaper than the one I had booked) before putting me in the one I had paid for. Additionally the restaurant service is a joke, we were the only ones there and had to wait over an hour for our lukewarm food.

Close to airport but not comfortable

The hotel is very best the airport and a clear attraction for that overnight layover. It’s off road too so traffic noise is low. Arriving late, found no towels or bath slippers and no tea making essentials. I asked and they were delivered. Time to sleep and mosquitoes appeared! The night staff did not have mosquito spray (locked room!) so they couldn’t help me but say “sorry”. Hotel was full so I had to usual manual methods to reduce the number of mosquitoes. So yeah I didn’t sleep much and morning was. RELIEF! Breakfast was basic and this hotel is designed for the mass transit passenger market (where you have no real choice but what the airline provides). will hesitate to go back.

The bed was really confortable and they had hot water. It is located actually 3 minutes from the airport. If you flight is at least 8 hours later, do not purchase a night since Ethiopian Airlines give you a room for free. I made that mistake.

Muito perto do aeroporto. Peça um shuttle para chegar até ele, são de graça. Alguns pontos negativos. O Wi-Fi não estava funcionando, ficamos o dia todo sem conexão. Não acharam nossa reserva por conta de não ter internet. Café da manhã não tem nada de ocidental. Pedaços de bolo que vendem no mercado e comida típica. Não tinha pão, manteiga, água, leite... Não dormimos direito por conta do excesso de pernilongos no quarto. Não tem ar condicionado. Fechamos o hotel por não ter opção é ser somente uma conexão. Não é ruim para uma noite, mas poderia ser melhor

Pleasant, comfortable. Stayed only one night as transit passenger. Very close to airport. Very convenient for connecting flights. No time to go to city, but surrounding area looks clean, well-lighted, and safe.

Sehr gute Lage zum Flughafen ! Man kann den Flughafen zu Fuß in ca. 15 Minuten erreichen. Durch frühzeitig Buchung war der Preis okay. Frühstück kann ich leider nicht bewerten, da ich aus Zeitgründen darauf verzichtet habe.
