We were very happy with the quality and upkeep of the hotel, the location, the food quality, and especially the service. Rooms were great, very clean, Lots of tv channels, would have liked a tea kettle and cups in the room. Loved the beautiful and always smiling housekeeping lady and all the concierge staff. A hotel can be 5 star... More

I would say that if you're planning to stay for up to a week and will be busy, then this hotel will be well equipped. The staff are very welcoming and the hotel & rooms have always been pretty much immaculate. The rooms are nicely equipped with tea, coffee (no creamer though), iron etc. the TV has a big variety...

Stayed in this hotel in April 2013 for one week on business. Van was waiting for me at the airport as requested(2am) -takes about 15 minutes to get to the hotel. Check in and check out was efficient. On trip back to airport, I thought (did not ask) that the van operated on demand but it is every hour on... More

This is a standard business hotel, a lot of facilities as expected. The terrasse of the restaurant/bar was noisy because of the construction work next door. The staff was helpful. The hotel shuttle pick-up and drop-off worked perfectly.

Being a regular visitor to Addis Ababa, I tried the Radisson Blu for the first time as an alternative to the Hilton and Sheraton (usually my preferred hotels). I was just curious to find out what it would be like in comparison to these other two hotels. Being at the same price level (maybe even a bit less expensive than... More

Great location in the heart of the city and rooms are very nice and clean, decent wifi. Excellent breakfast and small but always quiet gym. Good business centre run by a fairly militant administrator that watches every page being printed. Shame a hotel this deluxe doesn't have a pool? I think there is at least one other hotel that provides... More

My friend and I decided to visit Ethiopia for a few days. Trying to book a hotel in Addis proved to be somewhat of a challenge because most of the hotels there had such bad reviews. Radisson Blu seemed promising so we booked and hoped for the best. We arrived at the hotel which was really nice and looked brand... More

Overall our stay at the Raddison Blu was pretty good, expensive but good expecially for where you are. My issue with the particular hotel is when they realized we didn't have a reservation which was made through Expedia, somehow the reservation didn't get made at this hotel but another. When I asked if they had rooms despite not having a... More

We usually prefer staying in small independent hotels/guesthouses but had a 3 night complimentary stay here and can’t complain. The Radisson Blu Addis Ababa is a fantastic hotel. Business travelers and suits seemed to be their major customers but we with our dusty backpacks also felt welcome. Everybody was friendly and helpful. There are about 3 ATMs and a bank... More
