Located near to the Addis Ababa airport at around 5 minute drive..About the hotel and rooms,the title says it...No air conditioner in this hotel or for that matter any hotel in this locality..There is no ceiling fan either. I was provided with a portable table fan upon asking..Strange. However as the days went by,I really did not miss the Ac... More

First of all you can not compare hotels in Ethiopia by their stars to hotels in other countries. For Ethiopia the hotel is good. Location is excellent close to the airport and good restaurants and coffee shops. Rooms are big and bright with all the necessary facilities. There is free Wi-fi in all rooms and the lobby. Did stay here... More

There is nothing spectactularly good or bad about this hotel. Location is convenient to the airport; the lobby is okay; price is decent; breakfast buffet is okay....rooms are big but beds aren't comfortable and bathrooms are cramped. I don't think i'd stay at this hotel again unless i had to. Compared to other hotels in Addis i'd say this hotel... More

Very comfortable armchairs are provided in the lobby where you can sit and watch the action. You must stay alert as the luggage scanning machine at the door gives you the illusion that you are already at the airport. If you stroll across the lobby to the bar you can order the best plate of chips in the world. At... More

This hotel is handy for the airport and although not a 4 star by international standards, it is clean and servicable.The room was fine, fairly quiet and comfortable with a minibar and wifi connection. The staff were friendly and helpful from the shuttle driver to the receptionist to the porters. The breakfast had a fantastic array of freshly baked goods.

I'm doing field work in the country, and I will staying in Addis every weekend. This is one of the hotels my company partners with. I went there to check it out (I was staying at the Regency on that weekend). Based on what I had read on the reviews, I wasn't thrilled about changing hotels. I visited a non-smoking... More

"Horrible" may sound a bit rude but the meaning for me to choose "horrible" instead of "mediocre" is because their publicity is false and because really, it does not value a 4 stars!!! I spent 2 night in that hotel two weeks ago and I think their website was a lure. Before I left for Addis, I went through couple... More

Stayed in Hotel Kaleb for business, like most of the other guests. It's a popular venue for workshops and meetings for international organisations and this is probably the main income for the hotel. The hotel is located in the busy Bole Road area with easy access to shopping, cinema and good restaurants. The German style Beer Garden next door serves... More

I stayed in this hotel, which was booked for me by a travel agent, instead of MN hotel. I was assured by my guide, that The Kaleb had much better reputation and was of a higher standard. I don't know how much in advance before my arrival the booking had been made, but after a quite a long time spent... More
