The hotel was clean and staff were helpful. However, the location is quite a way from central Addis so it took some time to get into town, and the taxi ride was quite expensive. The surrounding neighbourhood consists of crowded dual carriage ways. However, it is near the airport and more importantly very near to the Yod Abyssinia cultural restaurant which is well worth a visit - although a bit touristy, it is also very popular with Ethiopians, and the food, music and dancing are well worth going there for.
