I didn’t like the lack of knowledge of the reception staff about booking with expedia. I resented the fact that my credit card details were asked to verify my booking on the day of checking out. They had all week to do that. I had to show them the receipt on expedia account on my mobile.

The Ghion short visit.

It's the end of winter time and the rooms were cold. The hot water does not come on after 11pm sometimes. It's only one key so housekeeping can't clean your room when you are out. Walls are very thin because I can hear chatter. Staff are quite lovely, helpful and friendly. Food is very good. Location is ideal for going to your business meeting or for site seeing this beautiful city Addis Ababa.... Lots of incredible history to soak in for the first time.

Ghion Hotel is a super cool hotel. If you're a hotel lover from the 60s and 70s, this place is for you. It's in the heart of Addis Ababa, with bars and restaurants nearby. I'll definitely be back for more! #HotelLove #AddisAbaba #60s70s #Staycation 🇪🇹🍻🍷

I had a very disappointing experience during my recent stay at Ghion Hotel. • Day One: The room assigned to me had no hot water. As usual, I was advised to let the water run for some time. Despite running the bathtub for nearly two hours, no hot water came, and I was forced to bathe in freezing cold water. • Day Two: I was moved to another room, but the toilet did not flush. • Later Stay: After returning from a trip, I was given a room where the toilet burst and water flooded the entire room while I was away. I was then moved again to a different room, which also had no hot water and a non-functional toilet. I am a frequent guest at Ghion Hotel, but in its current condition, I strongly urge Expedia to reconsider listing it on their platform. I also request a full refund for this stay due to the unacceptable conditions and repeated inconveniences. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Incompetent

An awful start to my stay at the hotel and arrival in Ethiopia They left me stranded at the airport at night for hours despite me contacting them on 4 occasions prior to my arrival. and hotels.com contacted them twice too l when I had zero reply on the airport shuttle. They failed to respond or provide this and when you don’t know the language and your phone doesn’t work in this country - as i explained to them - it leaves you in a very vulnerable position. When I wanted to leave after several other things not working the hotel refused to refund me as unfortunately I paid upfront. Hotels.com also extremely unhelpful
