    The front office ladies were friendly and helpful. The hotel is well located on a quiet street, near a Greek club. They offer free airport shuttles and a tasty breakfast. The staff are accommodating and allowed us to stay in the room until our evening flight.

    During Christmas, we had a great experience at this hotel. The staff was friendly and welcoming, offering us complimentary breakfast and shuttle service to the nearby attractions. The location was perfect, close to the downtown area but still in a quiet neighborhood which was great for a good night's sleep. Additionally, we liked the spacious and comfortable room with all necessary amenities to make our stay enjoyable.

    One downside we noticed was the inconsistency of the hot water supply. Sometimes the water was warm, but other times it was barely hot enough for a shower.

    We spent New Year's Eve at this hotel and we had a great time. The staff was very friendly and spoke good English. The location was perfect, close to a main road and not far from a well-known city center. They also had a unique charm to the decor. the hotel offered reasonable priced tour options which we took advantage of.

    There were a few disappointments during our stay. the hotel was not equipped with an elevator, which may be an issue for some guests.

    We loved the spacious apartment-like room, the tasty breakfast, and the friendly staff. The free airport shuttle was on time and very convenient. The hotel's location was great - close to both the airport and the city center, with good transportation options available.

    Nothing bad to say.

    During my Easter vacation, I stayed in a small hotel with great facilities. the rooms were quite spacious, with a separate seating area and a kitchen. the hotel location was perfect, just minutes away from the city center and close to several attractions. the staff was friendly and always available to help with any requests. the hotel offers free Wi-Fi which was very helpful for checking my emails and connecting to social media.

    the breakfast was underwhelming, with limited options that weren't up to my expectations.

    We stayed in a hotel near the city center, which was very convenient for going out at nights. the location was close to all the best spots around and just a short distance from the airport. the rooms were spacious, and the staff was generally helpful, with reliable shuttle services. Breakfast was pretty good too. the hotel had a nice lounge with comfortable seating arrangements.

    One significant issue we experienced was with the hot water system in the twin bedroom apartment. the pressure was too poor for it to be effective, and the toilet/shower leaked all over the floor.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in Addis Ababa and I must say it was a great experience. the hotel offered excellent value for money. The prices were very reasonable and for what I paid, I got more than I expected. The attention to detail was impressive, with clean and well-maintained rooms. The staff were also very friendly and eager to help, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. Additionally, the hotel's location on a main street in the center of the city was very convenient, making it easy to explore and access various shops and restaurants. I also enjoyed the breakfast with great cappuccino, a perfect way to start the day.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was fantastic and there was nothing that I felt needed improvement.
