7/10 Good! (79 reviews)
Clean and comfortable with competent staff. The free breakfasts have a wide variety of dishes, and you can order omelettes for no extra charge. The staff speak English reasonably well, so logistics are fairly easy (getting taxis, changing booking details, etc.). The rooms are spacious and offer nice views of the city.
The only negatives are things beyond the hotel's control: occasional city-wide power outages and water shutoffs.

4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Overwhelming. Go with someone who's from Ethiopia. The Merkato is massive and difficult to navigate without someone who understands it.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
It's huge. Find someone who can show you what you want, otherwise you will be wading through streets and alleys full of cheap western-style clothing, shoes and textiles. Some good finds to be had though.
