First the good - the shuttle was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and took us quickly to the hotel. There was a/c in the room which kept it cool enough. Tsion, the receptionist on duty on our arrival was very pleasant and made every effort to remedy the deficiencies in the room. The location was very convenient - close to the airport and many shops. But overall, we were disappointed with our stay this time. When we got to the hotel late at night we encountered that the room was not set up for 2 people - no hand towels, only one bottle of water and one cup for making tea, and no tea bags. According to our reservation with Hotels.com we were supposed to receive a free beverage and be offered a room upgrade. Neither happened. And the worst of all was that there was no hot water for our showers early on the morning of our departure. Not sure we would book here again on a future stay in Addis.

The rooms are huge and beds are comfortable. The room I was given was on the Namibia street side and got lots of sun, making it quite warm and required opening windows to ventilate. The downside was the amount of street noise that came in. I talked to the staff before I left and they showed me rooms on a different side that would not have those problems (heat and noise) so for another stay I would request to not be on the Namibia street side. I was disappointed in the breakfast options - the hot foods were not very hot and not very tasty either. There was a small sampling of fruits and fresh fruit juices which were nice.

Excellent stay at Sabon Hotel

We stayed at Sabon Hotel for 2 weeks as part of quarantine requirements for travelling South Africans. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming and always ensured we were happy with the services and amenities provided. The suite was a good size and daily housekeeping ensured that all linen and towels were clean and fresh, constantly keeping the room clean. The restaurant had a good variety of foods to choose from with very competitive prices compared to the establishments outside the hotel. The daily breakfast was delicious and varied, offering a mix of traditional Ethiopian foods and continental food dishes. The hotel is in a very good location, close to the airport and on a main street with lots of restaurants and stores to explore. Tour services are offered and allowed us to experience some of the gems in Addis Ababa. A big \"thank you\" to Mabratu and the restaurant staff, Fitsum and the front desk staff, and all of the housekeeping staff for making our stay an excellent one!

Room is spacious and clean but the bathroom stinks. Efforts to solve this problem was in vain.
I was billed by Expedia for a service I didn’t request for . It was tagged extra guest service. I didn’t click on that and I couldn’t understand how it was added to my bill. Efforts to get refunded at the front desk was rejected.

Bom hotel para pernoitar.

O Hotel é muito bom para a qualidade Etiópia. A companhia aérea não encaminha para esse ótimo hotel, só para hotéis ruins, sugiro pagar o próprio hotel. Não sei qual a razão disso, mas fiquei satisfeito com esse hotel que paguei por conta própria e a área do entorno é razoável, o hotel muito próximo do aeroporto. O café da manhã muito bom. A van estava no horário para nós levar ao aeroporto. De lá vim de táxi, muita confusão no aeroporto para chamar a van do hotel.
