The Ras hotel is centrally located. Though my room was basic it was clean and comfortable. They have a small shop and several restaurants, in the hotel. More

Stayed at the Ras Hotel for a week. While they had my reservation, they did not have my daughter's reservation which I made at the same time a week earlier. Nasty reception desk lady treated me like a second-class citizen. I threatened to leave the hotel and complain to Ras Hotel Enterprises (their head office in Addis) and they miraculously... More

Our stay at Ras was very brief as we arrived late and were leaving early in the morning. The room was very basic, and there was plenty of moist and mold on the walls. Good value, but health problems will probably arise for long-time visitors. Centrally located and very reasonable. More

We stayed here 3 times during our 3 week Ethiopia trip. 1st time we had a basic room which was large, clean and quiet but with a cold shower. 2nd & 3rd time we had an upgraded room which was the same size but had a new bathroom and hot water. Ras is centrally located. The room rate includes an... More

After staying further out of town for our first night in Addis we moved to the Ras Hotel on Churchill Avenue. The hotel is old but renovations are being done. The place has plenty of rooms so walking in off the street was no problem. Paid ETB450 or US$27 a night for a double room for 2 people with breakfast... More

It is very basic but clean and at $27 per night a decent value. It's front deck is great for people watching and there is a very pleasant beer garden a block down the street. It does not have an elevator or airconditioning. Hot water is not reliable. More

The second room I stayed in didn't have hot water. The beds in both rooms were comfortable. The rooms were old... More

I stayed at the Ras Hotel at both ends of my three week trip to Ethiopia. The staff were not overly friendly, but I felt that I was getting treated fairly and equally with the African travelers, which isn't always true for an American tourist. My first room was almost "too nice" with two double beds, a shower with a... More
