The rooms are huge and beds are comfortable. The room I was given was on the Namibia street side and got lots of sun, making it quite warm and required opening windows to ventilate. The downside was the amount of street noise that came in. I talked to the staff before I left and they showed me rooms on a different side that would not have those problems (heat and noise) so for another stay I would request to not be on the Namibia street side. I was disappointed in the breakfast options - the hot foods were not very hot and not very tasty either. There was a small sampling of fruits and fresh fruit juices which were nice.

Excellent stay at Sabon Hotel

We stayed at Sabon Hotel for 2 weeks as part of quarantine requirements for travelling South Africans. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming and always ensured we were happy with the services and amenities provided. The suite was a good size and daily housekeeping ensured that all linen and towels were clean and fresh, constantly keeping the room clean. The restaurant had a good variety of foods to choose from with very competitive prices compared to the establishments outside the hotel. The daily breakfast was delicious and varied, offering a mix of traditional Ethiopian foods and continental food dishes. The hotel is in a very good location, close to the airport and on a main street with lots of restaurants and stores to explore. Tour services are offered and allowed us to experience some of the gems in Addis Ababa. A big "thank you" to Mabratu and the restaurant staff, Fitsum and the front desk staff, and all of the housekeeping staff for making our stay an excellent one!
