Everything you need for short stay by the airport

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.

2/10 Poor

Be careful

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.

4/10 Fair

The restaurant servers were lovely, but the rest of the stay was below par. The bathroom door didn't close, the check-in staff were not very helpful, the airport shuttle arrived very late etc.

Affordable digs in Addis.

Friendly and helpful staff but hotel is off the beaten path and hard to find although a close walk from the airport.
Murray, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a nice stay. A problem I experienced was some noise during the night time from outside. Either from the bar or a near by club/building. The staff were friendly for the most part. The food was excellent. Thank you for the good experience.

Convenient from the airport

Nearest hotel from the ADD airport with a free convenient shuttle service (shared). Good wifi connection but there's a disruption of electricity at night for a couple of minutes.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and amazing staff

Empire Addis International Hotel is located near bole airport and walking distance to two malls, cafe and shops. They have humble and great staff. Looking forward to stay again in the future trips. There is no a lot of space for parking but the location, the reasonable price and convenience pays off.
7-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for 1 night transit stay but that is all.

Then hotel is very basic and works for a transit/overnight stay. It is close to airport and there is a free shuttle. Rooms are large but basic and the breakfast is ordinary. This hotel is more a 2 /12 star on international standards

My experience

I was stayed in two days. * Location near by Addis Ababa Airport. * Staffs good * house keeping very poor like Rest room , etc. But overall good.

8/10 Very good

Plenty of space, good net and great ppl !!!

Stayed for a week, rooms have a lot of space, looks like apartment style building not a hotel. Internet is good in room and lobby. Rooms with kitchens are great, only issue is nothing inside new kitchen cabnets / not even a cup ??? As usual most workers are great and try to help as much as possible All rooms ( i looked at many and used 2 ) have very nice table and floor lamps but none of them can be pluged into was to be used !!!

2/10 Poor

Bad Condition Rooms

Arrived at the Hotel tonight. But had a few problems with the room. No hot water to take a shower – Called reception - By 23H44 still no one to look why After they came to have a look at 24H00 the handy man said they can’t do anything; Main bedroom & Bed lights do not work – Called reception – They can’t fix it tonight; Bathroom towels have holes in them – wear and tear – looks like very old towels; Room was not as clean as some of the other Hotels we have been living in while travelling; Shower is blocked and overflows onto the floor. The second night did go down without any problems, threadbare towels, blocked shower drain for cold water shower and the bedside lights worked. They were apologetic but that as far as I am concerned is absolutely no excuse. They said the hotel was full and they could not move him – it appears that they overbooked and gave him a room that should have been closed off.

亚亚酒店普遍挺贵

该国内外有别，酒店普遍偏贵。房间保险柜坏了不能用，把贵重物品拿去前台存，也没开票之类，全凭记忆吗？取的时候发现所有钱都被点了一遍，并做了记录。比如欧元多少美元多少，日元还给我用胶圈绑起来。挺好是挺好，但是一般而言，保险柜的物品不是不清点，放进去就得了吗？酒店床很舒服，超过奥林匹亚附近的Residence酒店。餐饮贵，吃不惯。

2/10 Poor

Don't try this hotel

Bad hôtel With no wifi service. Lots of smoke smell in the room: strange for a non smoking room. No shuttle bus and they were asking 20€ for a one-way... Don't go unless forced to
