엠파이어 아디스 인터내셔널 호텔

Clean and comfortable otherwise nothing soecial.

The Empire Addis International hotel is kept in very nice condition with clean rooms, comfortable beds and nice restaurant and bar areas. There is a lot of construction in the area around it and partially finished roads, however it is easy enough to walk out to the main road where you can find restaurants, other hotels and shops. Their airport shuttle is available 24/7 and ready within 5 minutes of asking!

Gutes Budget-Hotel in der Nähe des Flughafens. Tagsüber rundherum Baustellen-Lärm. Nachts aber ganz ruhig.

Location was good. Short walk to lots of restaurants. The late checkout time and airport shuttles were also great. I didn’t like the smell emanating from the bathroom.

I arrived from the airport at 3am only to find that the room I had reserved wasn’t actually reserved and I had to wait in the lobby until 5:30 for a room to open up. The staff also insisted that I hadn’t paid (I had, but it was online, which they seemed disconnected from). The next morning when I went out for a walk (the hotel is at the end of a dirt road), I was approached by a man who claimed to be the hotel driver who offered to tour me around. It soon became clear he was trying to scam me: inviting me to “cultural dance ceremony” being put on because it was an Ethiopian holiday (it wasn’t). Though he may be unrelated to the hotel he seemed to know people that worked there. Regardless, be careful if traveling in the area.
