I was just there at the end of my trip to Addis for one night and the only negative was that they forgot to put shampoo in my room. I did stay in the new building, had a great rate, huge room and everything was modern and working well. Staff were over the top frinedly and the gym/spa is amazing... More

Desalegn 2 is opposite the EU offices, and just next to an efficient foreign exchange bank. We found the staff very friendly. Some rooms in the old building are very spacious, while some are quite small. The bathrooms could do with a little renovation. It might just be good to check your room before you pay. A good fitness centre.... More

Possibly the worst managed hotel we stayed in on our recent trip Cape to Cairo. The only way to get any attention from any of the very poor reception staff or managers was to shout louder that them which I can and did do. Not helped by the staff and the booking agent who told so many lies during the... More

We were in search of a hotel after plans fell through at the Regency (price switcheroo). We had tried others, and the Desalegn was going to be our last try before going to the Sheraton. We saw a room and a couple of family suites and decided to go for the suite. Very clean and neat and elegantly comfortable. We... More

The Desalegn no 2 Hotel on EU Road (on mapos the street is called Cap Verde Road) is good value (76 $ per night incl. OK breakfast). Nice staff speaking great English. The restaurant/cafe is quite pricy. There is a large gym. More

We stayed in the old part of the Hotel. Here the telephone is not working very well. The TV receiption is poor and only had a view channels. Breakfast is limited but the chief's omelet is very nice. Off course like everywhere in Ethiopia the people/personnel are friendly. But the price/quality ratio is very low. 150$ for a 1-2 star... More

Fine hotel in modern style proposing free airport shuttle service (10 minutes drive). Rooms are basic but clean. The breakfast is surprising as when you ask for a second cup of coffee, you are informed that it is to be paid. Some surprises in the room: a) the fridge was unplugged and when I tried to plug it in, surprise,... More
