Disliked: Staff & service
The service at the Soramba was generally poor, ranging from having to constantly wait for service while staff talked to each other, and the woeful front desk, who promised a letter for me on three occasions, and, that aside, were generally disengaged. Two exceptions were the cleaners, who were excellent, and one of the night managers, who was proactive and responsive.

Comfortable, clean hotel

Clean and comfortable with competent staff. The free breakfasts have a wide variety of dishes, and you can order omelettes for no extra charge. The staff speak English reasonably well, so logistics are fairly easy (getting taxis, changing booking details, etc.). The rooms are spacious and offer nice views of the city. The only negatives are things beyond the hotel's control: occasional city-wide power outages and water shutoffs.

Excellent value for money

Good value for money hotel. Small but adequate balcony affords lovely views of the daily comings and goings of the city and the mountains in the background. Great place to spend a day or two acclimatising to the altitude. Easy walking distance to St George's Church and can also walk to the main museums. Food adequate to good. Affordable laundry service. Only downside was the erratic internet service and inadequate hot water.

Good location if you want to stay N of the Piaza

Decent place. Decent rate when on sale. Hotel staff are a bit shy but nice. Good location (near all the sights up in the north end of town). You need to call for airport pick-up (they didnt reply to emails).

Best value in Addis

I've been to Addis many times, and currently this is the hotel that gives you about the best value for money. The eggs for the breakfast are overboiled, and I am overall not fond of the breakfast meal, but apart from that, this is a good hotel with spotless cleaning and good service. Transport to and from airport is a pro, but one sometimes has to call when arriving at the airport to make sure they are there (I have stayed at the hotel four times). I will come again. There is now wireless Internet connection on every floor (two connection points on each floor).

This time there were problems

The arrival was fine, despite the delay by the airline and immigration clearance, the driver was there waiting for me. At the hotel I took 2 hours to be served with a menu book to choose the food food, from, despite repeated calls, the menu was delivered 2 hours later. The food was cold as usual. Now the morning shuttle, it started with no wake call up, when I asked the receptionist indicated that, maybe the phone was not working, but noone was send for me. Now the shuttle bus had a puncture and was given a small delivery van, very uncomfortable, It was travelling at most 20 - 40 KM/Hr very slow indeed. The driver did not know the terminal, we get lost and end up terminal 1 instead of terminal 2. If it was a busy day, I was going to miss my flight.

I took more time at the airport.

Overnight was quiet and the wake up call was on time. Ethiopia airline delayed and the person waiting for me gave my name tag to a sister hotel. But despite numerous calls, it took 2 hours to be picked up to the hotel after checking out of the airport. The promise was always in 10 minutes. I have booked the hotel again on my return, hopefully it will take less time, despite the delayed by the airline.
