Best Pet friendly Hotels in Addis Ababa

Hotel facilities are perfect but the service is really rubbish. The shuttle driver and security are the best service staffs. The other staffs are not professional especially the reception. They gave you reasons for not giving you the same type room you stayed exactly like previous time. And the reception said “our business is down now” excuse me . You represent the biggest hotel of the country not a vegetable shop. And there is some details with room are not good maintained like shower room, water doesn’t go down.

I stayed in Hotel Lobelia for a total of 5 nights during 3 separate times in July. The hotel is conveniently located, just a 10min drive from Bole international airport, & a free hotel airport shuttle is provided. This was perfect for me as I had to fly in & out of Addis Ababa a couple of times as I traveled around Ethiopia. Besides being close to the airport, the hotel is also very close to many other establishments, such as restaurants, cafes, shops, mall, etc. There is also an ATM just outside the hotel lobby so this was extra convenient. The 3 different rooms I stayed in during my 3 separate stays were all spacious, satisfactory, & clean. The bed was quite comfortable, & the wifi worked well in the room. There was also a separate seating area. A menu for the restaurant, as well as all the services offered by the hotel are also conveniently provided on the desk in the room. The bathrooms are quite small, however, and can use some upgrades, but overall it was fine, and the hot water shower was great. On one of my stays, I did end up getting upgraded to one of the suites, which was a very big room with a very big bathroom. They serve a buffet breakfast which typically included traditional Ethiopian dishes, and sometimes eggs & pancakes, in addition to toast, fruits, juices, coffee, & tea. Besides breakfast, food is available all day at their restaurant, as well as room service. The food at the restaurant is quite good so I did eat here a couple of times. Laundry service was also good – I dropped it off just before 8:30am & got it back just after lunch. They also have luggage storage, which I used to store my big backpack, while I traveled to other parts of Ethiopia with just a small backpack. The overall service is really good here; plus, all the staff, from the reception to the restaurant to the shuttle service, are really nice, friendly, & accommodating. There was always someone to answer any questions and provide any assistance needed, which I really appreciated. This hotel is definitely good value for a short stay in Addis Ababa with easy access to the airport.

Spent four intensive days with colleagues in a retreat. The environment and events services by the staff led by Mekdes Negatu were superb. A high level of professionalism and attentiveness was evident at all times and in every service. The timeliness and freshness of the support given made the experience awesome.

The location is good, opposite a small shopping mall and a 5-minute walk from the Orthodox Church. The service is friendly, the breakfast is rich and you can order cappuccino for free. There are also sports center, art gallery, massage... and other facilities. I am satisfied.

The staff was nice, hotel is alright, they kept my room clean but there was no AC , had to keep windows open hence mosquitos.

To start off let’s just say they have such a clever WiFi password that I absolutely love 😊 Ok so when you arrive at Addis Ababa airport you’ll be welcomed by the hotel’s shuttle service if you book ahead … sadly there wont be any one holding a sign with your name you’ll have to go to their office inside the airport and inform them that you have a booking at the hotel and the shuttle will take you there ( this also works even if you don’t have a prearrange booking as I found out later ) The shuttle itself is a comfy minivan great to take you from A to B but won’t call it the luxurious. Once I arrived at the hotel, I was greeted by Mr. Amanuel the bell-Boy with the great smile – Honest to god I haven’t seen that guy frown once during my stay always elegant and courteous. I’m the -Help yourself- kind of guy who doesn’t feel comfortable letting others carry my bags even at airports. But Amanule just has that grace that makes you relaxed around him, you’ll gladly hand him your things without a second thought while you head inside to check-in. The shuttle parks in front of the main hotel gate that looks average or even less than average and I was a bit disappointed that my agent booked a hotel like this for me. But that changed once I passed the gate. The front of the hotel is a double purposed area to your right is the Bar-Café-entertainment area with a small porch for bands. And to your left is the swimming pool separated prom the bar by a neatly arranged row of decorative plants that are just tall enough to make the two areas feel very separate, but if its privacy your looking for in this swimming pool sadly you’re better off going to a private swimming pool in a gym ( there are an assortment nearby that ill discuss later here). The reception area is neat, clean and elegant. To your right you’ll find the business center with 2 computers, a printer/scanner and internet connection just in case of those occasions when you go to hotel for a vacation and leave your laptop at home. The front desk is right ahead and when I came in, the first thing I saw was miss Frehiwot welcoming smile, that felt like the smile of a lifelong friend you meet after years apart. She was very professional yet unlike receptionists in other hotels I’ve been to she wasn’t stiff. The check-in procedure felt like a chat rather than the dry, tedious form filling I suffer in every hotel. And even tough my plans for this vacation were not clear she was flexible and very open to changes and gave very clear and thoughtful suggestions that she literally became my go-to when I want to know anything about the area or what to do in a situation, from getting a local SIM card to where I can find a pharmacy I’ll ask her before even checking google – which is not that reliable in Addis and I can not stress enough how you should never depend on it alone- , one day I wasn’t feeling well at 3am and needed some painkillers from a pharmacy , she suggested that I shouldn’t go out alone at

I gave this place 1 star because I needed to do that in order to leave a review and partially for the courtesy the cleaning and host staff showed me. The good: Cleaning and F&B staff were great! Very friendly and attentive. The bad: 1. I was put in a room which was not cleaned prior to my arrival (look at pictures attached) 2. The room had a leaking roof and the it wet my luggage and it's content. (pic attached) 3. I was here as part of the government ”quarantine” rules, but the management staff told their cleaning staff to come into my room while I was there (essentially putting them in danger) even though I insisted that they shouldn't come in and that they just change rooms for me 4. The sheets and towels were dirty and stained (pictures attached) 5. The shower head was broken (pict attached) 6. The side lamp was broken (pic attached) and light switch for the main light was not working 7. The food was horrible 8. I stayed in the hotel for 9 days and was charged for 14 and management refused to reimburse me for the nights I DID NOT stay. Giving me some bogus reason while other people in other hotels were able to get their reimbursements The Ugly: When I spoke to management (supervisor or manager of hotel) about reimbursement, she told me the check was written but they are waiting for the owner to sign off on it, and they are on the phone now and that I should wait. After a few minutes of waiting when I didn't hear back from anyone, I decided to call the owner myself. The owner then proceeded to tell me that she understands that it might be my ”personality” to persistently ask for reimbursements of money, and that she doesn't understand why I am so adamant [about getting my money] because the money (~300usd) was not a ”life changing amount”. She then said, if the money is this significant to me it will returned to me but that it is not ready now. This is in contradiction to what the manager told me. The manager said the check was ready and they just need the green light from the owner. Additionally, when I told the owner that her accountant hang up on me while I was talking to him, She basically just called me a lair. She said she is pretty sure he wouldn't do that. It has been a little over 3 months now and still no refund. Turns out, not only is the money a ”significant amount” to me, it is a big deal for the hotel as well or even more so to them than I. This is not an ideal place to be during regular times let alone COVID times. Although it is listed as a quarantine hotel, I have seen non-guest come in and out and interact with guests (who have been ordered by government to not interact with the larger population) in very close proximity. I have put in a complaint with EPHI (Ethiopian Public Health Institute) and will continue to follow it. At this point, it is not only about the money, it is also about the principle of it all. If they were not able to refund, they should have said
