8/10 Very good

Great option in Addis
The Hilton Addis Ababa is a great option when visiting the city. The hotel compound is very secure, has multiple onsite restaurants as well as a grocery/market and bakery, and beautiful pools heated by natural hot springs. The beds are comfortable with multiple pillow options, and the water pressure is great (and there’s always hot water!) Wifi was fast enough for me to livestream a couple of US yoga classes. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. It’s also very close to a couple of newly-built parks: Friendship Square and Unity Park. I was also pleasantly surprised that there was live music by the pool on Sunday afternoon!
My only complaint is that I was told I couldn’t sit on the side of one of the pools to put my feet in the hot springs. I didn’t bring a swimsuit on this business trip, so I sat in shorts. Apparently this is a hotel policy, but nobody could tell me why. The pool is huge, so I don’t understand why there’s not room for both swimmers and other guests who just want to sit on the side with their feet in the warm water while reading?
