Our family of five stayed at the Axum not once, but twice, during our extended travels through Ethiopia. We were absolutely delighted by both the hotel and the way in which the staff extended themselves to be helpful. This is truly an international hotel and a real mix of ferengis and locals. There is a wood paneled, clubby bar in... More

Have stayed in this hotel 4 times in past year. Good location, decent price, buffet breakfast, exceptionally helpful staff, locals bar, free internet - what more do you need.Rooms at the front - road side - can be a bit noisy if you need a lie-in but it does'nt worry me - and plenty of coffee shops in the neighbourhood More

I stayed at Axum Hotel in June. Negatives: 1) The place is infested! There are insects everywhere)! Don't even think about turning the lights out or you have just sent an open invitation. To minimize the bugs you have to leave all the lights on constantly and spray repellant everywhere. Even then you won't get a comfortable night’s sleep, because... More

Recently I spent 8 days in AXUM hotel Addis Ababa. Twin bedded room for $71 per night is fair price. Customer service is OK, people very polite, rooms very clean, the food and the service in restaurant were excelent. I only complain about access to internet. Wireless from the room is very poor (very often disconnected) and computers behind reception... More

I travel quite a lot, for both business and on holiday and this hotel has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The facilities were OK, the rooms were clean, the food was OK. The key issues were: 1. whenever you asked a question you only got half an answer - the key bit that was missing... More

The hotel is very accessible to the airport and other places in the capital city of the country since it is situated at the heart of Addis Ababa. Honestly speaking, it is a hotel where one can have a real and typical glimpse of Ethiopian hospitality.with regard to the staff of the hotel they are quite courteous and conscietious devoted...

This is a hotel that I have stayed at since 1994. (Not permanantly, but at least 3 months of each year) I do not bother to even try another place! Most of the staff have been in this hotel since my first stay. It means that they are happy with the owner. Who is in fact, a very kind hearted... More

I stayed many times to Axum Hotel, and although there is a difference between the old wing and the new one, is really an hotel with great value for money, maybe one of the best in Addis Ababa. Rooms are spacious and clean, toilets are ok, breakfast is good, there are a gymnasium and a massage centre (both never used).... More
