i stayed at Ras Amba hotel during a recent trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After spending the night at the hotel and waiting for over an hour for the water to get hot in the morning to take shower, I contacted the front desk staff for assistance. An employee in uniform showed up and told me to try again after... More

I have lost count of the number of times I have stayed at this great little hotel! The place is a little distressed, but the friendlyness of the staff make up for that. They cannot do enough for me and my colleagues from Vision Aid Overseas.

My first time in Ethiopia so I have nothing to compare it to but this is a great little hotel with friendly staff. I will echo a few points about the general decor as it is shabby to say the least and the I wouldnt recommend eating there apart from breakfast as there are plenty of decent little cafes /... More

I cannot believe some of the scitics here are writing about the same Hotel as I am! The Ras Amba is a great place to stay. I have made use of this hotel many many times, along with many of my colleagues and we have received nothing but great service from the staff and management. Iam allowed to hold meetings... More

This hotel has wonderful staff, and a rooftop terrace where you can sit with a beer and a peasant sandwich after work, and relax. If you want to go out for dinner, the hotel... More

This hotel needs an upgrade for sure. The owner/manager obviously does not care about details (electrical cables hanging, lamps falling appart, crappy carpet, disgusting shower curtain , poor door lock etc), internet is to be paid extra and works randomly. Humidity is high and makes the bed damp and cold. Food was OK, I am glad I haven't seen the... More

Stayed two nights, the rooms are small, the beds and carpet very old. I have stayed in old buildings that are nice, but this one needs some TLC. Very basic for $52 US. The only real complaint is the non-stop dog barking if you have a balcony view and the call to prayer which starts at 0430. Staff were very... More
