Showers need maintenance.

My stay was good, as always. Only thing, the shower did not work good. The shower drain was not working. There was no shower curtain or soap tray.

Très bon hôtel, bien situé. Le personnel est très agréable et serviable. Cependant il y’avait des petits cafards dans la chambre et pas une très bonne odeur dans la douche. Mise appart ça, tout allait bien. Vous pouvez réservez, c’est correct pour une ou deux nuits. Et c’est sécurisé.

Det var alldeles för varmt på rummet. Fanns ingen fläkt eller AC. Det gick riktigt dåligt att sova. Kunde inte öppna dörren till balkongen. Där ute bråkade gatuhundar. Hotellet har sin parkering nedanför rummet och de höll på med någon maskin som gav ifrån sig oljud.

Good hotel but don't like same-sex travel partners

The amenities are good, with comfortable rooms and good breakfast buffet for the price. The shower leaked a lot, so we always had to pile up towels on the floor to keep the bathroom from becoming a lake, but otherwise the room was good. Though likely not unique to this hotel, the management is quite homophobic, and tried to charge my SISTER and me double because we were a "same sex couple". We reserved and paid for a room for 2 via this website, but they said they have tried to get the booking websites to ask for the sex of the guests during booking and not allow same sex pairs to be in the same room...obviously this is very discriminatory and not something any booking website should ever comply with. As we had already paid for the room (non-refundable), we compromised by just paying 150birr/day for the breakfast charge for a second guest (even though we paid for 2 guests from the beginning so this was ridiculous!!! But better than paying double). Not sure if this compromise would've even been possible if we weren't able to prove we were sisters. So, word of warning to any same sex travel partners that you might encounter some issues here.
