I have been staying at the Hilton for one month now. I was in one of the garden rooms, which has a small kitchenet which worked for me but my room required some maintenance to live up to the brand name. So what was it like: If you want just an hotel to stay over and have a meal and... More

After three months at the Hilton there are some good points and some really terrible aspects of the hotel. The pool area, the gym, and the staff are GREAT! They are friendly and very helpful. The whole hotel is very tired, nothing has been done to it in decades. Any time we got sick it was eating in the restaurants... More

Wonderful located in a beautiful Garden in the very centre of Addis. Positive: Impressing Architecture from 1969, many original design elements and furniture can be found. Very good Restaurants, wonderful executive lounge on the 12th floor with spectacular view and all day catering. The quality of food and service in the executive lounge is exceeding the hilton standards (rich selection,... More

It seems this hotel did not meet the expectations of other reviewers, perhaps its the Hllton name tag or the money they were paying. I found the room clean and perfectly comfortable and the staff friendly and very helpful. There was a safe and minibar. The internet is not free. The grounds are nice, but a little crowded on Sunday... More

I've stayed at this hotel on many occasions and admit to having a soft spot for it. Lovely staff, fantastic gardens and pool, a great gym, beds that work for my dodgy back and fast and reliable (if expensive) internet mean I will probably stay again but I agree with all the comments about the hotel being past it's best...

As it was my first time coming to Addis, I used Hilton Honours points to book my stay for a week at this hotel. The non-smoking room on the poolside may have looked somewhat antiquated, but it was clean and had all the services I needed which made my stay comfortable and cozy. What I like about this hotel is... More

For what you are spending on this hotel, it's clear to see that you are paying for the grounds, not the room! The rooms are dirty, old, and shabby, and probably have not been updated since the 70's. The furniture is old, scarred, and disfunctional. The televisions are about 30 years old and don't work. The beds are rock hard,... More

I stayed last week at the Hilton for a week for a conference and was shocked that this hotel carries the Hilton brand name. The beds were horrible, it was dirty, there was never soap, paper towels or often toilet paper in the public bathrooms. Rooms are very worn out, missing tiles, old comforters, etc. Shame on Hilton for not... More

Last time I was in the Addis Hilton it was 10 years ago. Walking back in was like being in a time warp. No investment, no change, not even a flat screen TV in the rooms.
