Wonderful friendly and helpful staff, spacious apartment, clean, comfortable and quiet. What more could I need. Well maybe just an electric kettle to make my coffee. Fortunately I always travel with my own kettle so I had everything I needed. Thanks to all at the Lions Den. Your hospitality was really appreciated. Ann

This hotel is located off one of the main streets in Addis. The hotel is secure, fenced, and has a guard. There is parking in the fenced area. The hotel rooms are large in size with many having an eating area and living space outside of the bedroom. The rooms are clean. The bathroom has hot water but not unlimited.... More

The Lions Den is a great place to stay! The rooms are big and comfortable. The location is good (close to the Greek School), on a side street of Bole Road so it is nice and quiet. But what makes the hotel best is the people. Everybody is very friendly and makes a big effort to make you feel at... More

My brother in-law and I stayed here for over a week at the end of November 2012. Bubi and her staff were personable, intelligent, hospitable, and beyond nice. There is strong wifi in the lobby and dining room areas. The rooms are very comfortable. We booked two bedrooms and it was nice to be able to be in the same... More

The location is good (Although the exact place is somewhat difficult to find as there are construction work around, just ask for the "Greek school," it's opposite), the rooms are huge (apartments in fact), reasonably clean and well equipped. Mine was ok, my colleagues had some trouble with water, but nothing too bad. Wifi is available around reception but not... More

The proprietor and staff make you feel like you're visiting their home and are very attentive. Great coffee ceremony every afternoon with excellent coffee served with the whole staff. Does not have a dry, functional hotel atmosphere you would get at Addis' larger, typical hotels. The rooms are suites with a separate living room, which is very nice. The building... More

I had booked this hotel after reading some real fab reviews on tripadvisor esp about the owner/manager-Bubi. Since I also run a similar hotel in New Delhi and ours is a very personalized hotel so it was really nice to be staying into a place similar to ours-i.e. with a personalized touch. Okay, the good things first:- The room had... More

The hotel is small, but has a special charm. The manager (Bubi) and her husband and the other front desk employees speak very good English. Bubi is certainly the "hostess with the mostess." She is very accommodating and has lots of tour ideas and will even get a reasonably priced driver for you. She went out of her way to... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms, which were more like small one bedroom flats. Bubi and her staff were more than helpful and did their best to make my stay at Lion's Den feel like home. The breakfast that came with the room was very good. You have a wide choice on the menu. I ordered... More
