I stayed at the QoS for almost 2 months whilst working in Addis. The rooms are a little dated but the beds are really comfortable, the sheets are crispy cotton and there's spare pillows and blankets. I stayed in a slightly better room at around $79 nightly that had a small working kitchen and sitting room, just like a flat,... More

We stayed at the Queen of Sheba the Easter before last following a few weeks travelling around the country with my husband's sister, who was working for VSO in northern Ethiopia at the time. Having roughed it for most of the trip and my getting ill half way through we wanted to finish the trip in comfort. Our room was... More

I've been staying at the Queen of Sheba on regular trips to Addis over the last five years. It is a little dated, the breakfasts are not the best, and the internet connection was occasionally erratic. Having said all that, for USD79, where else can you find clean, vast suite-type rooms with hot water, huge beds, and great, friendly service?... More

An excellent and comfortable hotel. Vast suite style rooms and decent showers etc. Only the food was disappointing; we lived in Addis many years ago and the meals were worryingly familiar! Convenient to walk into town but far enough away to be quiet. Handy for Bole airport

We have tried many hotels in Addis over the years and really enjoyed our stay at the Queen of Sheba this month and will return there. The room are spacious, clean and quiet; food is good and service is very good. The rates are a bit steep for foreigners but this trend is happening all over Ethiopia - a rate... More

I am a frequent traveller to Addis Ababa. I have stayed and stay at the Queen of Sheba Hotel many many times. My last visit was in March 2010. I can recommend this hotel to any visitors of Ethiopia without any hesitation. The rooms are very good and large with all the facilities even to cook of your own if... More

WE spent a total of 4 nights here, spread over 2 stays. We arrived without a reservation as we refused to stay at the Ghion where we had been booked in for a stay of 16 days. The room we had been assigned at the Ghion was appalling, in an annex which overlooked the car park. It hadn't even been... More

I stayed at the Queen of Sheba for 8 nights. Pros: the wireless (ask for a room that gets good connection), the staff were always helpful, generally clean. The complimentary pick up at the airport. As a female arriving on a 11pm flight, I was a little worried. But thankfully, QofS has a counter at the airport and they quickly... More

I stayed here twice in 2008, with mixed feelings. There were some very nice things: free internet PCs, free shuttle to and from the airport (do tip though!), nice staff, easy to change money, big room, good TV, felt safe. There were some inconveniences: getting anywhere takes a 40-60birr taxi or a 30min walk, the included breakfast was quite terrible,... More
