Really dusty and dirty room. Not clean. Paid for overpriced taxi from the airport. Felt like they tried to rip us off because they knew we were foreigners. Stayed there for 8 hours and left without staying over night.

Thank you to the wonderful staff for all your help. You made our trip very easy and I am very grateful to you.

“Couldn’t have picked a better hotel or a better location. Loved it!”

First and foremost the staff was so very friendly, warm, and helpful! The building is very nice and seems to be an old mansion. Has a good terrace to enjoy the view, a restaurant with all you can wish for and they even helped us out with astonishing vegetarian food. The taste of everything was really fantastic! Everyone was so super friendly. Aiky, the nice lady from reception speaks English very well and helped us so so much. Apart from being all welcoming she also found us the best private driver you can wish for!

“Negative rating”

Nothing

“Nice hotel, excellent staff”

The city view from the terrace and the staff.

Good location, hotel placed away from the noise of the city and good view of the city. Near interesting tourist attractions. Very nice and helpful staff

“Excellent budget option”

Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent location and amazing views of Tana from the terrace! Great value for money but you get what you pay for: it looks like the hotel hasn't been renovated or refurbished since the 70s.

“Beautiful place to stay for a work retreat and/or tourism”

What an amazing view! (I was given the room with perhaps the best view, third floor terrace.) And the entire room was beautiful—spacious, so many windows, multiple options for sitting and writing/working at. It was a marvelous place to get some work done, very friendly staff, and short walking distance from some tourist attractions and good food and drink places. I'm a vegetarian, so although the restaurant menu didn't have many vegetarian options, the chef took care to prepare dishes specifically for me, and even added extras in honor of my birthday (which occurred while I was there).

“Satisfied customer”

I loved the antique architecture of the hotel and it’s location. It’s near some tourist attractions like the Queens Palace. The staff are so warm, helpful and homely. The owner is always around and so any requests or needs are speedily responded to. The chef is great with the meals and they have a wide range of menu available. I was impressed by the fact that they have a full blown restaurant on site which is known around the city. We enjoyed the meals we ordered. The breakfast is very simple and basic but you can order for additional elements and for as little as an extra cost of 8,000 Ar (€2) you can add eggs, sausages and some other things to the breakfast. We had a very spacious room that had a great rooftop view of the city. We were there this past week July 6-13 2922 and it was in the middle of winter and so we were so grateful for the steady hot water and the fact that downstairs in the restaurant you can have your dinner by the fireplace. They also had so local artists (musicians) around and are arranging to hold regular artistic evenings in the hotel. The high stairs you need to climb in and out of the hotel makes for a good work out. I believe it was built in that way to reserve the historic nature of the architectural design . We were all round satisfied and will be returning in the future.

“Would stay again as the location, room and staff were excellent - but maybe for a shorter stay”

Great location - quiet and away from the noise and pollution in the city center, but yet a 5-10 minute taxi ride from wherever you wanted to be. Room was great - large and spacious, and for the room rate you couldn't have got better
