I spent five nights at the hotel, along with about 25 colleagues that were in Addis for several days of meetings. I checked in at around 1:30AM and the front desk clerk was efficient and friendly. Upon checking into my room on the 4th floor I found it clean but pretty sparse in terms of amenities (no clock radio?, not... More

My flight was cancelled and the airline put us up in the Ambassador. I refused to stay in the room they gave me and encouraged the couple traveling with me to refuse also. The room was a slum. I told the front desk that we would be going back to the airport to spend the night rather than stay in... More

I didn't end up staying here, but I did check it out pretty thoroughly. This place was very disappointing. I came here after the reception lady at Jupiter called and found space for me (Jupiter was booked as were my 2nd and 3rd choices). They showed me a room in the area where the hot water was working and it... More

Stayed a few nights in the Bole. Very friendly and helpful staff. My room could really do with having the carpet cleaned but other than that the room was fine. Breakfast was nice and there is decent wifi available. Will be staying here again on way back through Addis!

The Bole Ambassador is almost within walking distance of the airport. Since flights to Gondar, Lalibela, and Axum leave before 8:00 in the morning, the hotel's location is a big plus. However, walking is unnecessary. The hotel has a kiosk in the airport and a representative will meet guests with reservations; a van will take guests to and from the... More

Besides the location and type of room the hotel in itself was a pleasant place to be at (besides the fact that..south side rooms are better than the north facing rooms). The staff were very friendly and helpful, while the rooms clean and quite comfortable. The added value of kitchen and free internet (which is slow nevertheless). The good thing... More
