Kefetew Guest House in Addis Ababa provides accommodations with an open-air bath, a garden, and a bar. With garden views, this accommodation features a balcony.

My daughter and I spent 3 nights at the Kefetew Guest House during our trip to Ethiopia. The house itself was so comfortable it felt like home. The breakfast provided was wonderful. But the best part of our stay was the hospitality of Genet Ketefew, the owner. We had a friend visit on our last day, and Genet asked us to stay for lunch. We had a wonderful meal and conversation. It was special. Thank you, Genet. I highly recommend.

Featuring inner courtyard views, Wib Guesthouse in Addis Ababa offers accommodations and a garden. This guest house features free private parking, free shuttle service, and free Wifi.

Really kind host who went out of his way to pick us up after midnight, he also arranged us an early morning service to the airport. The helpers were really nice. Wifi worked really well. Location is alright. While not in the top location , it’s 10 minutes to the tram and near some notable places so you can tell the taxi to drop you off there. The price for what you pay is really fair and reasonable.

Victoria Hotel Apartment features a steam room and free private parking, and is within 2.2 miles of Addis Ababa Golf Course and 2.4 miles of Derg Monument.

Breakfast was good, quickly and delivered on time. However no fruit options besides juice. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly with assisting me to order dinner from the restaurant across the street when I retuned from work late. The airport shuttle driver was always on time, with free airport transfers offered from the hotel. The room was very clean, with clean smelling sheets.

Birhan Guest House offers accommodations in Addis Ababa, 6.9 miles from Abune Petros Memorial and 7.2 miles from St George's Cathedral.

The location is queit enough to have rest. The owners (Helene and her husband) are so caring that I always felt at home. Living expenses are very cheap there: There is a kictchen full of needed things ; refrigrator, and all cooking and dinning materials in the guest house. Helene also helped me by buying and cooking food. If your budget is small, it is the ideal place.

Choice Guest House 2 in Addis Ababa provides accommodations with a garden, a terrace, and a bar.

Very clean location with kind staff. Even though it's not in the center, it's easily reachable with the RIDE app or hailing a taxi, and it never takes long to get there. Also very quick if you're coming from the airport. serene atmosphere in a nice and quiet neighborhood.

    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 .

    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.
