The Hilton in Addis Ababa is one of the oldest hotels in Addis so some of the fixtures are dated but the staff were extremely kind (airport shuttle driver, clerk at check in, front of the restaurant staff (for breakfast)) - all just extremely nice. My check in process was smooth and the view was great. Finally, there was live music on the Sunday night which was really nice.

Nice old hotel... However for the price specially in Addis you expect the hot water should run without interruptions.

During our recent stay at the Hilton, we had an exceptional experience. The hotel's service, amenities, and overall atmosphere truly reflected the prestigious reputation that comes with its name. We were happy with every aspect of our stay.

The staff is truly amazing- very helpful and courteous.I enjoyed the variety of breakfast served at the buffet.Loved the pastry at the cafe within the vicinity of the hotel- the TIramisu was my favorite.The traditional huts/ cottages by the swimming pool is a nice place to sit and enjoy some draft beer.The garden past the pool is my little heaven.

The staff was incredible! They were super nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. The bedding, towels, and hotel location were also excellent. There are many amenities, but they were a bit dated and could be cleaner. Would highly recommend avoiding the food at the hotel.

Didn’t have a pleasant experience here. Everything is outdated. Food wasn’t good. Plus the shower handles and curtains holders are rusted and extremely old. Seen some mold in the shower as well. It doesn’t look like the place is very well kept.

It seems that the room hasn’t been remodeled since built in the 1970s. The reason why shower, sink and toilet were not working properly. Requested toiletries were not delivered, even when requested for the second time.

Food options are severely limited and executed poorly. From room service to the pool restaurant, or the buffet, the food quality is low and the hygiene very questionable.
