Keba Guest House offers self-catering accommodation located in Addis Ababa. Free WiFi access is available and a continental breakfast is served every morning.

The staff is very cooperative. Rooms are fine. The location is little inside from the main street and cabs might get lost searching for the location. But overall the place is value for money. Shola market is very nearby. The manager Apule was very sweet to us.

    Awesome hot shower with really good pressure. Old school villa style house and really helpful, friendly staff. Allowed early check in. And even though I wasn't staying on my last day, I was allowed to shower and stow my luggage before my flight. Noni is a great host, a credit to herself and keeps all the guests informed, happy and well served at the bar too! When the power died, she had a powerbank to lend to charge my phone. She came through :)

    Haile, the owner of this guest house is very friendly , helpful and accommodating.. Free shuttle service to and from the airport as well ! I appreciated his tips saving me time and stress. The rooms are clean, cosy and comfortable in a quiet avenue . The location is in a decent part of Addis and only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to the airport . Other parts are easily accessible via taxi and there are a few small malls walking distance . I was happy to stay there a 2nd time .

    The guesthouse manager is very friendly. I was not hosted in the guesthouse but in another accomodation. It was basic but ok for the price.

    Comfortable and quiet room in the city centre. Many of the city's attractions are within walking distance. Complimentary airport pickup, which is much appreciated given the traffic. Better WiFi than in other places in Ethiopia.

    This is the first time I'm writing a review on booking.com. I'm writing it because a 5/5 isn't enough. Bruk and Betsi are really doing something amazing. Clean, cozy, comfortable, and with hosts that are the best one can imagine. I went there expecting just another guesthouse and I found friends, who helped me with everything I needed - excursions included - and made my time there just great! 100000/10 would recommend :)

    Pleasant stay at the guest house, but a confusing and shady area where this guesthouse is located. Every taxi driver was hesitant to go to this area for drop.
