3/5 - Okay
Max
Addis Ababa is an interesting city but I had such a bad experience at this hotel it marred the entire vacation. I recommend selecting a hotel based on user experience. Giving newly listed hotels a chance is too risky.
5/5 - Excellent

Overall, I had an excellent stay. I recommend requesting a room on the opposite side of the building away from the School.
