Beautiful lobby, beautiful grounds, staff are helpful. But, a bit overpriced, I moved over to the Radisson a few days later and unless the pool and grounds are a major draw for you (the Radisson doesn't have any real outdoor area) I probably wouldn't stay at the Hilton here again. Rooms are dated, internet is expensive and works only hit... More

Went here for a wedding mense and the food and service were impeccable, great attention to service and decorations and food. The party was great and went off without a hitch, although we did get sick from some of the food, not too sure why because everything was well cooked, but still I will be back again

Like the other reviews have mentioned, this hotel is old and needs some serious updating. The rooms are good sized, just outdated. The elevators dont always work, and the executive lounge is very small. The biggest issue for me was that it only has wired internet in the rooms...no wifi. The food in the restaurants is decent, and the buffet... More

My husband booked an executive room and we planned to go to the fine dining restaurant for my 50th birthday. The room was tired and just not what I expected .

This is my second stay at the Hilton in this month. I keep trying to make myself like it, but I can no longer stay here. The limited access to the internet is aggravating. In the guest rooms, you can only connect using a cable to the laptop. So, that means no tablets or smart phones can get access from... More

I've stayed at the Hilton a few times now. The initial reaction you get when you arrive is that the hotel is very spacious, with a large car park, wide reception area and lots of greenery around the pool. This is however toned down somewhat by some parts of the hotel which look like the design hasn't been refurbished in... More

The Hilton Hotel in Addis Ababa must have been quite the jewel in its day however nobody has bothered to polish it for a while now. It looks old and run down and could really do with a refurbishment. The staff in certain areas of the hotel are really good yet other areas are let down by poor service.

The hotel is comfortable with the facilities one would expect of a Hilton hotel. Rooms have usual facilities including good TVs etc. But decoration of room and lobby is distinctly tired.
