My husband and I recently returned from another stay at Guzara hotel, and we highly recommend it! The hotel is a family-run business, and the warmth and hospitality we experience each time make all the difference. Mr. Teshome, the owner, personally picked us up from the airport and drove us back when it was time to leave. Throughout our stay, he went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Everyone we interact with at the hotel is kind, attentive, and eager to help. Whether we have a question or need assistance, they are always available and genuinely happy to assist. The hotel also has an on-site restaurant that serves absolutely delicious, fresh, traditional Ethiopian meals. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience of true Ethiopian hospitality. Thank you to Mr. Teshome and the entire team for making every visit so memorable. We look forward to returning again next year!

For any African Americans traveling to Addis abbaba in the future I recommend this hotel it’s out of the way of the rest of busy life Addis Abbaba more towards the industrial where everywhere you walk and talk you are meeting genuine raw uncut Ethiopian people who are willing to assist you with anything. Please check out the Tana fish house and Bella restaurant top notch for this area. What can I say about the staff if you are more worried about additional amenities don’t come here they have what you need clean room hot water 24/7 backup generator restaurant pickup from airport service and most important they will bend over backwards for your service. Please support them it’s for me was a neighborhood friendly community Thank you

Guzara Hotel Addis is a home away from home! Breakfast and coffee were amazing every day of my stay. Staff were kind and accommadating. Laundry service is located conveniently close to the hotel. Hadero coffee shop and Power Gym is a short walk away from the hotel as well. I highly recommend the guide service offered by the hotel owner. The hotel was clean and room service very convenient. The owner exceeded my expectations, sharing info on great local restaurants, places to see, and shuttle service to local museums and historical sites. I will most definitely be booking all future stays in Addis with Guzara Hotel!

A gem in Addis

I stayed at the Guzara on the first night in Ethiopia and my last night before I left. The staff was exceptionally friendlly and eager to make my stay comfortable. The wifi worked well too. On my last night, they even drove myself and two colleagues to a restaurant in their van. I would recommend this hotel to anyone passing through Addis. They have a free airport shuttle and the hotel is quite close to the airport but quiet and excellent value. We will be using this hotel again.

Verey peacfull and clean hotel Without doubt one of the favorite hotels I stayed during my stay in addisse. We were welcomed by the staff and general manager. Upon arivale we were picked by the hotel shuttle from the air- port and also at the end of our stay droped off at the airport for departure. The hotel is built in the middest of residential area away from the hectic city center which I love most . Our incial plane was to saty for two nights but we were upgraded to huge bedroom and endeup satying for two weeks. Thank you Guzara Hotel

Charming neighborhood in the heart of Addis Ababa

I was in Addis Ababa for a three day business trip. My stay at Guzara Hotel provided me commutable proximity to my work at the Economic Commission Africa and the charm of a small Ethiopian neighborhood. Teshome, the hotel host, ensured my stay was stress free from my morning coffee to transport around the city.

Greatest hotel in Ethiopia :)

Best hotel we stayed at in all of Ethiopia. They’re so kind there. Our flight was delayed 5 hours and he came to pick up up from the airport at 3am! Then we got to the place and it was so clean and comfortable. All very new looking. In the morning we had the most incredible breakfast and again he took us back to the airport. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel ;). If you do go back to the airport leave with plenty of time as there’s heavy traffic sometimes.

Quiet neighborhood and great staff

We had a great experience here. The family that runs this hotel is super nice and speak good English, the restaurant is reasonably priced, and the rooms are clean. We had a small balcony and the bathroom was in good condition but had some ants. The neighborhood is not touristy at all which can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. But the neighborhood is very quiet. The owner gave us a free ride to and from the airport. He was very friendly and accommodating with our last minute booking and airport shuttle request. We will be staying there again if we return to Addis and can recommend the hotel to anyone.

I was looking for a quite place near the international airport and near Bole. I was lucky enough to find a room at Guzara Hotel. The amazing English speaking staff made sure everything was ok and were extremely helpful and polite during my entire stay. The neighborhood is safe and silent during the night.
