This is a budget friendly place, you get what you pay for. Staff was nice and our shuttle waited a long time for us to get out of the airport. I left before breakfast was available, so no review there. I would say that the rooms are old and they have to fix things frequently. The sink faucet was loose and the toilet stopped working (no water to flush). The shower was fine and the beds were clean and comfortable enough. I would spend more next time for a more modern stay. Wi-Fi was available and worked great.

It's not bad for the rate- it's cheap so hotel is decent for the price. Beds are nice and clean which is the important part. But the twin rooms are tinyyyyy

The hotel location is good, its just off the main road (like 2 min walk) but the alley it is in isn't the safest if you're walking alone, especially at night. Be careful of that. Also when we arrived there was LOUD construction just outside of our window.
Bathroom: okay, seems old and it's the cleanest. Shower door was broken and wouldn't close. They provide slippers for guests that are not disposable, which isn't hygienic. I would also suggest a screen for the windows, because you gotta choose between sleeping in a stuffy room or getting feasted on by mosquitoes. But the customer service is good, they are very nice and accommodating.
Breakfast is buffet style so really depends what you get that day.
Good and convenient airport shuttle.

Love the breakfast variety and the clean rooms. Shower felt amazing and it wasnt as hot in the rooms in the evenings will stay there again on the next visit. Staff was very friendly and the cleaners do a great job. You get alot when you order food so if your not a big eater you can share the food or save for later. Overall a great stay

The photos make the hotel look better than in actuality. It caused me to change my plans and look elsewhere for accomodation.
However, it is close to the airport, the shuttle worked well and the staff were lovely and accomodating. It is alright for a stopover but not for a long stay.

The airport shuttle service was readily accessible. The staff was courteous and humble. The cleaning standards were satisfactory. The kitchen could be improved. Specifically, the coffee thermos were somewhat bothersome. It was necessary to pump the down to release coffee and the coffee milk.
However, it was ok for the price. The room was quiet and average cleaners. I wasreceived just only one towel. For showering purposes, i found it somewhat repulsive.

Rooms were small, but well furnished and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful when approached (and treated with respect). Breakfast was simple, but well cooked and selected. We had some noisy neighbors who apparently received a talking-to by hotel staff, and we didn't have any problems sleeping after that. Despite the rough-hewn neighborhood making it difficult to find, it was safe, well-located for food, airport, and tourist destinations. Overall, good bang for the buck.

The room was amazing for the price... it had amenities I didn't think came with this category of hotel, like a mini-fridge with bottles of water. The ceiling was high and solid and the floor was thick, so the only noise issues came from the hallway and those didn't occur late at night. The breakfast was more varied than I expected, and was included with the room. The hotel is just a couple of minutes away from the airport, and the complimentary shuttle is included, so perfect for an early morning flight. The staff is delightful (although I found that true in much of Ethiopia). A great value.

We stayed for a week and were generally disappointed by the suite as the photos did not match reality, especially the bathroom. Shuttle service was almost 2 hours late for our airport pick up even though we were confirmed and on schedule at least a week prior. It only arrived after we'd made several phone calls to the hotel asking about the shuttle driver's whereabouts (they kept lying to us by saying it'll arrive in 5 mins). Once we made it to the hotel frustrated and exhausted, we complained to the lady at reception only to be met with an apology and a sad explanation that they had to prioritize picking up other passengers that were supposed to arrive the previous night - which was an insulting explanation for us. Furthermore, the floor our room was on was extremely noisy due to rowdy and disrespectfully loud guests - I was personally awoken between 2-5am for several nights in a row. Staff wasn't helpful in managing their guests. Manager was hard to reach as he hadn't shown up to the reception desk or the hotel during our entire stay. We've made several complaints to the reception staff and they ended up giving us false hope in a potential room change. As part of VIP Access perks, we did not enjoy all the benefits. Facilities are a joke - spa is just a steam room, no massage, unsanitary and tiny gym.

Good staff, food was good. Staff call at weird times sometimes to ask about stuff. Outdated rooms, wall paper peeling. Beds are good but don’t have protective covers on them or pillows so not sure how they keep them clean between visitors. Shower not very clean, no AC, and windows don’t have a net or screens to keep out bugs so mosquitoes come in sometimes when you leave them open. Floors of room were generally clean.

Our experience at this hotel fell significantly short of expectations, especially for a property with a four-star rating.

To start, the shuttle service arrived 40 minutes late, which set a poor tone for the visit. Upon check-in, we found the bed in our room was broken. After notifying the staff, we were moved to a different room, where we then discovered that the shower was not working. This sequence of issues suggested a lack of attention to room maintenance.

Additionally, the advertised breakfast was limited and sparse, offering only a few items such as cereal, pancakes, and some dry bread. It did not meet the standard one would expect for a full breakfast inclusion. Lastly, we did notice what appeared to be a cockroach in the dining area, which raised concerns about cleanliness.

Overall, our stay was disappointing, and the experience was not reflective of the four-star rating. Prospective guests might wish to consider these aspects when making their travel plans.

In dark side street but close to main road. Friendly hotel with bar and OK breakfast. Rooms old fashioned and a little damp feeling (in the rainy season) and some noise issues, but mostly a tranquil shelter in a lively and potentially chaotic-feeling city. Close to airport and excellent free pickup and dropoff.

The Lobelia was a great choice. They provided breakfast every day, picked me up from the airport, and took me back. It is close to the airport and has everything you need nearby. Shops, restaurants, and transportation are all within walking distance. My room was very large with good Wi-Fi. I would return again if I travel to Addis Ababa. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Landing in Ethiopia, I had no idea what to expect...I was returning to the U.S. from a few months in South Africa on Ethiopian Airlines and, on a whim, booked one night in Addis and one in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire as it was permitted in my itinerary. I'm so, so glad that I did! I'm even looking at options to be able to work in Addis, as I found the diversity, history, and energy of the city/nation to be so compelling.

After just mentioning to the staff at Hotel Lobelia my itinerary and that I was keen on local recommendations for 20 hours in Addis, the hotel immediately booked a convenient and easy-to-find shuttle driver for me both directions as well as introduced me to Abay, a tour guide with whom I was fortunate to spend the evening and the following morning. Abay was amenable to my photographic and sight-seeing goals, and we hit the city hard in the evening and the following morning....indeed it was a whirlwind of a trip that left such an impression on me.

The hotel room was modest but so pleasant and had everything I needed. Also I appreciated that the bar/coffee area downstairs is open 24/7 if you need a bottle of water or a cup of Joe at 5 a.m. as I did to keep the street photography flowing.

Location couldn't be beat, either. A trivial drive (5 min? 10 min?) from the airport. Highly recommended to those on a layover like I was, or looking for a beautiful base on their way into or out of Ethiopia!

Ameseginalehu, Hotel Lobelia and Abay! I'll be back!

The hotel is located close to the airport, and the shuttle bus service to and from the airport is reliable. Although the Hotel Lobelia is not a 5-star hotel and does not aim to be, it provides great value for money.
