The conceirgage and bell staff is awesome. I have stayed at this hotel 3 times over the last 12 months. The front desk staff is very difficult to work with. They will never make an empowered decision. They act as if the hotel will go broke if they do NOT squeeze every dollar out of you. They charge $22 per... More

Starting with the positive, the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool and spa are also nice and relaxing. The room quality, however, is inconsistent. On my first stay, I had a room with a new TV overlooking the pool. A week later I stayed in a room directly across the hall that was much more outdated. The... More

For the ridiculous rates they charge, one would expect an updated, modern facility. It's dark and mid-70's in terms of decor - but the rooms are clean and in the two I stayed in, everything was functional. It also seems quite secure. The good: Food at the main restaurant was pretty good. Buffets offer lots of variety and help with... More

We were booked here for 3 nights as part of a group tour of Ethiopia. The Hotel looks as if it has not been renovated/upgraded for 20-30 years. It is expensive+++, in fact we found out charging the same as the Sheraton, which is ultramodern 5*. IYou are gouged an arm and a leg for internet access....because they can.The front... More

Very outdated ,in dire need of an upgrade.We had 2 nights here 14th and 15th january, a weekend, and it was incredibly noisy and very busy. The outside areas were heaving with people, who could not all have been guests.There were very noisy wedding parties both nights,and the lobby bar is no better than a downtown sports bar,with smoking allowed...

There are many good things about the Hilton: The facilities, the pool and pool bar, the barber shop (best for caucasian hair in Ethiopia) and especially the great friendliness of the staff. They are really really friendly! However at over $260 including tax for the best available rate, it is not good value at all (even on the executive floor).... More

I've travelled to Ethiopia over the past 15 years and the Addis Hilton still wins out as the best place to stay in the city. It has a wide range of facilities including a good gym, heated pool, a good range of stores including a supermarket in the grounds, a few restaurant options and an excellent massage and steam room...

Impression of the hotel….old. The place looked like something out of the ‘80s. Very retro, but not in an ironic way. I guess in the 1980’s it felt plush and modern, but in 2012 it didn’t look good. My biggest gripe was with the room lighting – as you walked in there was a switch for the cupboard light. Nothing... More

What a crappy place to stay... Try to avoid Hilton in Addis if possible. Pool and the garden are quite nice but that's all. I've lived at Hilton for three months so I know what I'm talking about. The rooms are from the 70s with no renovations and the overall experience is terrible. If you're looking for a moldy, dusty,... More
