I have stayed here a few times, while attending meetings in Addis. On the whole, it can't be beat.

The wifi is fairly fast and free, and there is a coffeepot in the room with tea and instant coffee. Additionally, they supply bottled water free of charge and there is free water provided in the gym.

Beds are very comfortable - real spring mattresses that are replaced when they get old. Plumbing can be in less-than-top-condition (as is typical everywhere I've stayed in Ethiopia) but the staff are very friendly and glad to move you to another room. I've frequently been upgraded without asking when asking for a new room, and the staff are always friendly and apologetic.

The gym/fitness center is very well equipped, with steam room, sauna, a wide variety of cardio equipment, free weights, and a weight machine. There is a personal trainer on staff during the day to assist, though they generally just bring towels and watch TV.

Food in the restaurant is excellent, and the bar in the lobby is nice. Fair warning - they have live jazz in the lobby one day a week and it can make rooms on the first and second floors LOUD. If you get tired of the restaurant food, you can walk to a few restaurants nearby - the restaurants at the Radisson and the InterContinental are particularly good.

Be aware that pricing is flexible - if you have a local travel agent, they may be able to get significant discounts. Even at rack rates, however, it's a good deal.

I have stayed here on every trip to Addis I've made and will continue to do so. The rooms are fantastic, the service first-class, and the amenities second-to-none.

We stayed at this hotel three separate times during a recent (Dec 2012/Jan 2013) trip to Ethiopia, in rooms 301, 101 and 201 -- all facing the busy, noisy street. During the first stay, sleep was disrupted by loud music from a bar/club across the street as well as a brawl in the street complete with gunfire (we later learned the man with the gun was a policeman). All bad? Not at all! The room was, otherwise, very spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable (albeit a bit cold). Free WiFi is available in the rooms (with a passcode) and there is a business center with computers to use, free, on the mezzanine. The restaurant in the hotel does a very nice breakfast buffet (included in our plan). Staff was friendly and welcoming. They bent over backwards to provide some breakfast the one morning we had to leave before the breakfast buffet opened and, one evening, when we asked questions about how a national dish was prepared, the waiter came back with the recipe for us. There is an ATM in the lobby that works with American VISA cards. Overall, the hotel was comparable to a mid-range hotel in the US. The neighborhood was just OK. The main problem, for me, is that street is not well lit at night, especially once you are a couple of blocks away from the hotel. The first night, we went out to a restaurant about 20 minutes (walk) away and then stumbled our way home in the dark. On the other hand, we walked to a coffee place one afternoon and the walk was very pleasant. A plus: the Hilton is just a short walk away (I'm telling you this because they have great pizza!).

We are currently traveling in Ethiopia and stayed one night at the Jupiter International Hotel and am basing my rating on that one stay. We are going to be there twice more during our 18 days but based on our experience, feel as though this is a super hotel.

We were warmly greeted upon our arrival Jan 4, 2013 and when I asked for a room on the higher floors back of the hotel they immediately honored my request. We stayed in Room 510 and it was a huge room and very well appointed. We were exhausted from our LONG flight and they answered every request with a smile.

We will be back there in a little over a week and then have a day room before our journey home. Really liked the Jupiter and know that I will a couple more times:-)

we used this hotel recently and stayed for two nights. Hotel is good. Rooms are good but bit cold. It has WIFI and tea/coffee fee in the roomwhich is big plus. We got farely reasonable rate of 85 USD after discount which I think much cheaper then other 4* hotels in the city. Location is farely good with shops around and places of interest not too far.
