I got this life threatening strain of food poisoning that results in bacterial invasion of the bloodstream from food I consumed at the intercontinental. I ate a sandwich and fries at lunch, it tasted strange so I sent it back. 8 hours later I was vomiting profusely, major diarrhea, and a great deal of bone pain that accompanied it. I... More

Just spent 3 nights in this hotel (9-12th May 2013) and would not stay there again. The rooms however are clean, rooftop pool fine but the service is very hit and miss from the staff and the food is DIRE. I ended up not eating after trying curries, chicken, toasted sandwich and pizza and found all to be way off... More

From the photos and from the first impression the hotel seems really attractive. However, underneath are some design and management failings: - The huge auditorium/lobby that goes up to the 9th floor looks nice but acts as a channel for all the noise downstairs to emanate to all the rooms upstairs; - Also, the lack of care and checking: combined...

Let be clear: this is not an Intercontinental chain hotel. They used the name and added Addis at the end. But the overall experience is quite good: spacious rooms with fully equipped bathroom and a large flat screen TV. Heated roof top pool with a nice bar and excellent gym on the 9th floor. The lobby and bar are comfortable,... More

Did not overnight but attended a 3-day workshop organized in the hotel. Conference room facilites are sub-standard: check PA system, room very dark, kitchen located in the back with constant smell of food in the room. Quality of buffet lunch is appalling. The pasta must have been cooked for 25 minutes plus as it melted on my tongue :-). In... More

The only redeeming quality of this hotel are the size of their rooms, the conference facilities and technology support are below par, the staff helpful but not knowledgeable, serving staff friendly.... the kitchen is probably the worst with its low quality breads, horrible buffets. Breakfast is somewhat acceptable. Their machiatto has its redeeming qualities..... The rooms are fairly large for... More

The Intercontinentaladdis Hotel is not a member of the international chain Intercontinental Hotels. The standard, however, is almost achieving international levels. The hotel has a large atrium, convenient rooms, each of them with balcony, a roof top pool, a bar and a rather basic restaurant. It is located just next to Kazanchis junction, around the corner are the Jupiter and... More

The Intercontinental in Addis Ababa is not part of the international chain. However, the hotel is clean and well kept, food is good in the restaurant and the staff is courteous and tries to be helpful. Sometime there was a language problem which was surprising in a country where English is widely spoken. Security is top notch with metal detectors... More
