I stayed at the Empire Addis hotel on Ethiopian Airlines' account during a long transit at Addis Ababa. The hotel is among the newer and nicer properties in the airport area. Rooms are surprisingly large and comfortable, featuring big screen TVs with satellite channels. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom is clean, well-appointed and features a shower with excellent water pressure. Wireless... More

At the outset I'm willing to admit that my experience with this hotel was prompted by a missed connection and a forced stay. However, I must say that as a reasonably experienced traveler I haven't experienced this level of ineptitude for a very long time. the hotel is indeed new, and I found the staff pleasant upon arrival. I was... More

My basic requirement was to have a good WiFi connectivity and the hotel met my expectations. The washroom was clean and it... More
