Great location in Bole area, quick drive to the airport. I was expecting for a hotel at this level to at least have AC in their rooms. The breakfast was not up to the expectations, it was really not good! The front desk were friendly and the hotel staff overall were always nice.

The staff was very kind and receptive, that's what stood out to me during my stay, the facility was clean and it was a memorable moment. Outside was a pain, kids coming up but 2 stood out, 1 grabbed my arm to distract me and the other kid picked my pocket, I was missing an envelope of cash when I got back $1,000. to be exact which I was given in the States for someone's family in Somaliland.

Liked: Staff & service
Generally the hotel was good and the reception and sitting area was nice and comfortable. I thought the carpet throughout the building, including the rooms were well worn and could do with replacing. The room was generally satisfactory, however, was disappointed with the noise from the wedding at the hotel. During the 2 weeks that we were there, wedding took place circa 6 times. The room service, breakfast and food generally was satisfactory. I was disappointed with the sauna and steam room as they were not always working and it could do with a refurb / modernisation. Generally, the hotel was ok and if your not are not one for attention to detail, you will enjoy your experience. Out of 10, I would give the hotel 7
