Ghion Hotel - Addis Ababa

Straight facts, no fluff

I found the grounds quite excellent. The staff were attentive. Breakfast options were decent, although service could be improved. Rooms offer basic amenities but lack some modern touches. A mixed experience overall, but worth considering if you're after tranquility.

its location was peaceful and incredible, in the citycentre.

The food in the restaurant was fabulous. Peaceful location - just walking distance from everywhere we needed. Also, this hotel was situated 2 km from tourist destination like Gullele Botanical Garden;))

What you'll love and what you won't

The tranquil garden is a good escape and perfect for morning strolls. The staff members are very polite and attentive.

The lack of tea-making facilities and TV issues detracted from my stay. The older rooms could benefit from a refresh.

The room was large and quiet and offered with electrical sockets hanging out of the walls as well as a safe. The food was great at the restaurant. Most of the stuff where friendly and excellant.

This location was incredible, right by the citycentre, a hill with a view and airport...

We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and the peaceful atmosphere. The nearby children's playground was a hit with everyone. Just a heads up, though, the breakfast service can be slow, and the rooms could use better lighting.

One downside was the water issues. We often dealt with lukewarm showers, quite inconvenient.

Lovely gardens and good eats!

I stayed 10 nights and really liked the peaceful gardens. The outdoor dining area had great traditional food and was a nice spot for Ethiopian dancing, so much fun! A slight bummer was the attitude from some staff, like they own the place. Just weird after all these years, but still a nice vibe overall.

good value for a simple stay

The Junior Suite offered a spacious layout and comfortable bed. The staff were noticeably more attentive. The breakfast setup has improved.

The overall experience felt quite basic, lacking some modern amenities.

This place is good, and has free wi-fi, a lovely outdoor swimming pool, and a fantastic restaurant. I still remember how the staff kindly returned my forgotten shower bag. I'd recommend enjoying coffee at the lounge area!

The room was spacious but felt a bit old school. Hot water was hit or miss, sometimes lukewarm which was annoying. Not great lighting made it kind of dim at night. I appreciated the comfy bed, though! A bit of a hassle with limited power outlets-had to juggle plugs. No safe in the room either, a bit concerning. It was okay for the price, just some outdated vibes.

I enjoyed the beautiful gardens filled with vibrant flowers, a good space for relaxation and casual strolls. The layout was convenient for seniors.

More accessible amenities for seniors would be beneficial.

The fine gardens were a serene escape, perfect for morning strolls, and I loved the daily bottle of water!

The Ghion Hotel offers a beautiful garden, providing a serene escape from the city noise. While the rooms are outdated and the water pressure in the shower is low, the friendly staff and enjoyable meals make for a pleasant stay overall.

Free airport shuttle and nice outdoor dining area. Room lacked basic amenities like a kettle.
