I can highly recommend Z Guest House. No-doubt one of the nicest places I have stayed in Africa and I’ve been around;-) Cute and clean family business. Reliable people with whom you can put your guard down in a relaxing urban setting. The first day the owner got me a sim card, so I could do my business and helped... More

We tried to book Z's guest house in december but the manager informed us that it was fully booked but told us that we could stay at an affiliate guest house that was very similar for the same price apparently called D's guest house for the same price of 35 dollars a night. The airport pick up was fine but... More

We stayed at Z Guest House when we visited Addis for the first time to collect our son. Our apartment was very clean and cosy and we felt very safe at the guest house. The family run guest house was extremely friendly and helpful towards us and we become very fond of them over the month we stayed at their... More

We stayed in the Z Guest house for 4 nights and it was a very good experience. The apartment we had was very spacious, bathroom was simple but in working order and the guesthouse is located in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Pick-up from airport was there in the middle of the night and the owners are very friendly and helpful.... More

This was my first trip to Africa. My plane arrived at 4:30 in the morning. I didn't want to face all the hassle from various kinds of con-artists and hustlers that you see around the backpacker haven - Piazza, so I chose to stay in this place. I'll quickly go over the positives and negatives of this place to give... More

We went for trekking to Tigray and Lalibela (Tesfa Tours) and whenever we stayed in Addis, we enjoyed staying here. Clean, friendly, cosy and on foot close to University, Piazza, Aratkilo... and very safe area even at night. There are 2 large and nice rooms and 2 small ones at the back (a bid narrow but alright).

Dear Customer, In response to your claims as to having DSTV, the guest house has never advertised to having DSTV, but says that we have Satellite TV. We have about 6 News and 10 Movie channels in English, but they are not sourced in DSTV. As to its distance, as stated on our website, our customers come to Z Guest... More

We visited Addis this August, we found the Z- Guest house on the internet. We never expected it would be so great. The rooms are really spacious and very clean. We traveled together with two other families, and we really felt as if we were at home. The people are so friendly to all of us, our children played together.... More

Six of my family members spent two nights at Z guest house. The apartment slept 4 of us and two of us took a double. The double bed in the room at the back was a queen sized bed, and not really adequate for two adults, but the apartment sitting room was large, as well as the bedroom in the... More
