Hilton Addis Ababa: Bland - not very exciting    Check Rates

    • I did not stay in the Hilton hotel, but went there for coffee and something to eat. The date was Sep 11 2007 - eve of the Ethiopian Mellenium. I was expecting may be traditional music in the bar, or something to show the importance of the occasion. Instead there was nothing there, could have been just any other day. Not impressed; The machiato we got was cold and the general atmosphere not that impressive. I was expecting a lot more considering the timing.

    • If I had my choice I would stay at the Sheraton. It's nice but a bit more broken in than the nearby Sheraton

    There is an ATM that takes Western cards and there is a KLM office here with some great staff who helped me get home

    Hilton Addis Ababa: The expensive fortress, Addis Ababa Hilton    Check Rates

    • Addis Ababa Hilton was the first hotel I checked after I arrived Addis Ababa. The hotel is like a fortress, and you will be scanned by x-ray each time you enter the lobby. It's safer that way, but it's also annoying. The price was USD 225 for a single room. I looked at the rooms, but I didn't like anything about this hotel. Take my advice, don't stay here.

    Hilton Addis Ababa: Good standard quality, but fun    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • Updated By petterie on April 18, 2005
    • I stayed two weeks in this Hilton hotel, built 1969. It looked a bit old, though everything was quite modern.

    Rooms are basic quality, but my friend stayed on room 1201, which is big and nice. It also includes Executive lounge services in 12th floor.

    Hotel has splendid restaurants and friendly and busy (especially during happy hours) lobby bar.

    Very nice (and crowded during weekends) pool area. Several tenniscourts and one the best gyms (compared to Finnish) I have experienced.

    Service in general is very friendly (normal in Ethiopia).

    Hilton Addis Ababa: Second best    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
    • sebblit7
  • Updated By sebblit7 on November 5, 2005
    • I've stayed here a few times and can say that the restaurant always has great food. Other than that it's your usual African style 5 star, i.e. things just don't work sometimes and people are pretty slow to respond. Renovations have been underway for some time now but they've never affected my experience.

    I used to think of it as a 2nd option to the Sheraton. But now (according to todays quotes I just got -4 Nov '05) it's a little more expensive:

    Hilton Single Room US$227 (incl. 25% tax and b/fast)
    Sheraton Single Room US$215 (incl. 25% tax and b/fast)

    If you're having trouble with the dialling code changes in Ethiopia goto this website where you can input the old number and it will generate the new number for you: http://www.nazret.com/converter/

    Great breakfast, swimming pool area with lunch service (although I ate the fish and chips and got a runny tummy) and a pretty cool steam room section. Also reccomend the traditional Ethiopian dishes on the menu in the restaurant next to reception

    Hilton Addis Ababa: Addis in comfort    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
    • cilsley
  • By cilsley on April 7, 2007
    • I have stayed in the Hilton many times and always found the place to be comfortable and the staff friendly.
    I still dislike the way that the door men check the driver on the way in ( indeed anybody black ) so I insist that I am checked as well.
    The swimming pool is fed by underground hot springs and is utterly fabulous. It must be remembered that Addis is at some altitude, the atmosphere is thinner and chances of getting sun-burnt that much greater.
    Salad Nicoise is a welcome change from pasta or injeera...and is cheap.

    ITher is a wonderful ( perhaps not so ) contrast if you walk up the stairs. The front view is of Addis and it looks glorious whilst therear view is of utter squalour, tin huts and poverty.
    In the morning all is clear over Addis. As soon as the town awakens though a very clearly visible pall of brown smoke hangs over the city center. You can taste this as you move around the streets.
    I always have a massage in the spa though: one of the two blind masseurs will work travel weary bones into some semblance of normality for a v modest price ( £4.00 ). I always overtip.

    Hilton Addis Ababa: Good 4 Star Hotel    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By hongkong88 on June 7, 2006
    • Room are average for 4 star business hotel. On a big campus of its own so the setting is very nice. The lobby bar is a good place to spend time and make smalltalk. Rooms have been refurbished and are what you would expect. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    Hotel restaurant has reotating buffets every night and most ar good. Avoid the Chinese bight if you can. The lobby has a good selection of small shops. On the ground is a small grocery store that is a lifesaver. You can stock up on drinks and snacks for your room without leaving the grounds.

    Hilton Addis Ababa: Most cozy of the big hotels    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By dutchwindmill on January 4, 2007
    • Friendly atmosphere even if not outstanding in any respect. Lobby bar with happy hour daily from 5-7 PM great place to meet people. Big heated (steaming!) swimming pool.

    Good location close to the ECA headquarters. Good bars and restaurants. (Like everywhere) be on the look-out for good rates (memberships, internet offers) and you can be lodging for anything from 100 usd.

    Not my cup of tea (I wish it was, Haha), I just passed by while walking along Menelik II avenue and saw it from the outside. Located in a peaceful governmental area, is a good choice if you go for high standard.

    This is a marvellous hotel I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Everything about it was excellent from the surroundings, the room, the service... I would definitely go back, and would recommend it.

    Facilities, views, friendly staff all make it a great place to stay.
