The breakfast looked great, but the food was cold and not cooked fresh unless you ordered eggs. The hot food had been sitting for hours. The fresh fruit was good, but some of the nuts were stale.

The convenience of not having to go through immigration to rest is terrific. The room was nice and clean. The terminal's location was handy, and it was easy to get to the departure gates.

Very big price for a 1 night sleep. It must be 1/3 of this price.

It is inside the terminal

Stayed in April 2025

just the flight announcement preventing you from having a good night sleep.

There was a good selection at the breakfast and the staffs is very helpful and warm. The room is very clean and you are well pampered from all the little things given to you.

Check in staff work extremely slowly, grumpy. Wi-Fi did not work well in my room. struggled to get uninterrupted connection for a long time (for perspective I was in the room closest to the reception edge of the hotel)

Conveniently placed inside the airport. beautiful rooms, high quality brand toilet, taps etc. Many options for charging ports

The noise nuisance from the cleaners who are required to clean short-stay rooms and aircraft made sleeping challenging. It would be nice to have noise-proof rooms and assign different areas for short-staying guests

The proximity to the boarding gate is a great plus. The bedroom and bathroom facilities were clean and comfortable. Another added value to this facility is the variety of eating options and shopping facilities.

Location and breakfast are excellent

Long wait to check in. The rooms are a little noisy.

Convenient for our morning flight. Rooms were modern, comfortable and clean.

The time from the hotel to transfer to one's next flight could be clearer, to enable a better judgement call about time to wake up, have breakfast, etc. and a wake up service would be helpful, with so many passengers from different time zones arriving in Addis. Also the messaging when booking is confusing as to how to access the hotel from arrivals at the airport, and whether one will need a visa, taxi, etc The constant offering of a taxi and also a free hotel by Ethiopian Airlines is appreciated but confusing if one has separately booked the Skylight in-terminal Hotel. Also confusing that there may be a hotel with the same name in Addis Ababa itself??

The reception appeared unaware of our reservation and appeared to allocate us a room last minute. The facilities in the room were applicable to a single guest, so we shared towel, tea cup etc as we were just too tired to make a fussl

Actually all was not bad, but it just bed between flights

Good place to sleep in transit terminal. No visa requires if you stay less than 12 hours. Breakfast is good enough

Staff don't seem empowered. The systems are quite slow.

Location is great! No need to do immigration if you are transiting

There is a stale smell from the drain each time I have used this hotel. The drains need checking out.

The staff are very responsive. I was attended by Bashir. He was exceptional. Check in is quick and seamless.

Noisy at night until midnight with Airport announcements.

Inside the Terminal. Comfortable bed and pillows.

I felt like the hotel did not pay attention to little things like providing a glass for water in the room, a floor mat outside the shower cubicle, a container for teeth cleaning accessories like toothbrush, etc. Maybe they were very busy on this particular day but it is important to do this to reassure guests that you are doing everything to ensure their comfortable stay especially that the room rates have even gone up.

The location is unbeatable when you have early flight connections. The availability of several restaurants in the terminal is also an attractive option.

It would be good to have a better TV selection for international travellers, especially with easy to navigate news channels.

The location is excellent for transiting through Addis Ababa and the cuisine was a lot more international on this visit - well done to the management and service team.

Ask at reception for a less noisy room as are right above the gates and it will be difficult to sleep without earplugs.

The hotel is right inside the terminal, so you avoid doing immigration if you’re only doing a layover. Rooms are spacious and clean, located above the gates, so just a 5mins walk away. Breakfast is included in the fee. The staff at the reception were incredibly kind.

A bit pricey for an overnight stay

The room was spacious

The price for the deluxe king, $250, was very excessive but the bed and shower were very necessary, so frankly, I was happy to pay it. The bed was rather hard. The front desk staff made it clear that we, married male couple, had made a mistake by booking a king room. We had to make clear to them that no mistake had been made. The restaurant food looked and smelled disgusting.

Liked the location inside the terminal, inside security. Liked the convenience for our 9 hour layover. Like the dark, cold, quiet room.

Scarcity of towels. Cleaning could be better. Arrogant reception manager.

There was no milk or creamer in my room, there was coffee, tea and sugar but no milk or creamer. When I asked reception for milk they just told me that the hotel had no milk. If I pay $170 for the room I do expect to get some milk/creamer for my cup of coffee.

The room was very comfortable and clean.

The bathroom was a bit dirty and the announcements could be heard from the room. Check in took ages. From arrivals is very complicated to find the hotel. We asked a few people. There are no signs

The convenience of being inside the terminal. Just get up in the morning and walk to the gate.
