Holiday Hotel

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with my family and would recommend it to others. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The breakfast was nice, with a good variety of food to start the day. The hotel is very near the airport, which makes travelling easy and convenient. The prices are also affordable. The only problem I experienced was the presence of mosquitoes, at night. Overall, it was a good stay with just a small issue that could be improved.

Holiday hotel is a nice hotel with clear outside view, the lunch breakfast & dinner is awesome.
It's cost effective and near to the airport for people with lond transits. They have the best service for those who can't afford 5* hotels.
Thanks to yamaane bruhane the service provider.

Generally not bad for a transit time in addis ababa. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed is clean and that's what matter. Food is average.
Don't mistake it for holiday inn hotel, this one is holiday hotel.

Very delicious and variety buffet breakfast.
Very big and clean room.
But Very harder and flate mattress which is not comfortable.
The staffs are very friendly and very professional.

What a wonderful experience! The hotel is lovely with clean rooms, very friendly staff. They have good breakfast buffet with variety. An overall great experience.

I was in flight transit when I got the opportunity to stay at Holiday Hotel in Ethiopia, and I am so grateful they signed me in. This was my first time visiting Ethiopia, and this hotel gave me such a warm and welcoming first impression of the country.
From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The atmosphere is amazing, calm, friendly, and full of the charm that reflects Ethiopia’s rich culture. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and polite, always ready to assist with anything I needed. Their hospitality really stood out and made my short stay very comfortable.
The food was absolutely delicious! I loved every meal, it was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. There’s a great variety, and the taste truly gave me a feel of Ethiopian cuisine.
The rooms were incredibly spacious and clean, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. If you’re traveling with a big family, this hotel is a perfect choice because there’s so much space to feel comfortable. And the view from my room? Simply breathtaking. Waking up to such beautiful scenery made the experience even more special.
For the quality of service, food, space, and view, I can honestly say the hotel is more than worth the price. Even though my stay was during a transit, it felt like a mini-vacation.
I highly recommend Holiday Hotel to anyone coming to Ethiopia, whether for a long stay or just a stopover like mine. I’ll definitely come back in the future!

The hotel is clean and the rooms are fine, but if you are in transit, I strongly advise against staying here. The “transit menu” is extremely limited, and the food was undercooked, which gave me stomach pain and diarrhea. There are no snacks or tea breaks, even though it’s very cold there and you get hungry quickly. If you don’t have money, you will stay hungry and thirsty. The staff are unfriendly and refuse to give you water when you’re thirsty; you have to wait for the next meal just to get a small 250ml bottle of water and a tiny glass of juice. Honestly, a very bad experience for transit, avoid if you can.

The hotel is showing a lot of age and neglect. The rooms smell of sewer gas coming from the bathroom. I can't believe that Africa's number one airline, Ethiopian Airlines, put us up at this hotel while we were put in transit due to their late arriving flights, so do not accept this in-transit hotel from the airline.
There's holes in the ceiling, the shower door doesn't close as it's broken thus flooding the bathroom during a shower. They advise not to leave the hotel during your stay due to minor crime in the area.
Not sure why other reviews give this place more than one or two stars.
The food is fine and the staff is friendly.

Stayed a night during a layover. The experience was satisfactory and the location was ok. Staff were hospitable too.

I stayed here for an overnight layover in between flights. Rooms were nice, Wi-Fi was good, staff was friendly and I felt that this was way better than some of the other reviews have made this place sound.
However, I would like to point out an experience where the hotel owner Josef went above and beyond for my care. I had a physical injury which needed immediate medical attention late night. Not only did Josef accompany me with the hotel driver and car to make sure I get the needed medical attention in time, but also he was on top of all the co-ordination with medical experts in the hospital and every paper work that had to be done, since I was a visitor in thier country. He is kind and generous and took care of me as a human and not just a customer. The same care was seen by the hotel staff as well, where they all showed their empathy and were considerate towards my situation.
Incidents like this show us that not only this hotel focuses on customer service, but they genuinely care for well being of all the hotel guests. I highly recommend staying at this hotel and thank you Josef for personally taking care of me.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an overall positive experience. Contrary to some of the reviews I had read, I did not find the hotel to be as unclean as others had claimed. In fact, the facilities were relatively well maintained and kept in good condition, providing a comfortable environment throughout my stay.
The price was fair and reasonable for the quality of service and facilities provided. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to help with any requests, which made me feel well looked after.
One of the convenient features of this hotel is the shuttle bus service to and from the airport, which was relatively punctual and hassle free. Inside the hotel, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing after a long day of travelling.
While my stay was enjoyable, the breakfast buffet could do with some improvement as the options were quite limited. Expanding the variety of dishes would greatly enhance the overall dining experience.
In conclusion, this hotel offers good value for money, clean facilities, friendly service and convenient access to the airport.
# Addis Ababa # Ethiopia.

Came here thanks to Ethiopian Airlines. Tired rooms and and far. If you can change it when do the check in please do. A long ride through dusty roads. On the way back the shuttle picked up a guy near the airport who wanted to scam me in a poor English. Watch out!

Ehhh, too many cockroaches. Kinda disgusting. Also, they don't wash the bedsheets. Staff are nice though.

I like this hotel, staff is very hospitable, they let us in before regular check in, rooms are ckean, toilets could be better but I will not complaint as price is very fair.
Mattrace is perfect, sheets, towels are clean.
There is breakfast and dinner on 1st floor, lounge bar at ground floor but I didn't try to eat here. Location is just few meters away from train station but not in the center od Addis Abeba. If you ask me would I return here, my answer is definitely yes.

Staffs are helpful and real professionals.
The comfort of bedis amusing. For my next trip I will back for long stay.
Their price is surprising regarding to the service they deliver is special. One last thing I would like to say is the breakfast.

I stayed at Holiday Hotel from 22 to 29 December. The staff were phenomenal. Many amenities to include airport shuttle, free breakfast, room service, laundry service, and a wonderful restaurant and bar. The room was clean and had modern amenities. Bed was very comfortable. I was treated so well for my short time there. If someone wants to support small business while getting all of the perks of a chain hotel, I recommend Holiday Hotel.
