The bed sheets were stained. The room have not light. There were no heat nor water heater while the temperature was 52 degré F. The front desk could not find our reservation. She wanted us to call Expedia a 2am while we were exhausted, our flight was delayed for 4 hours. They finally let us in but we could not stand the room. We try another but they were all the same.

i like everything, nothing unique but i was really disappointed because I ask to drop me at the airport early to check in because we had transit to another airport but the driver was late and i missed my flight and wait for another 2 hours in the airport with my 2 little kids, my kids were so hungry because we already in the waiting area there is no food around there
and also we had a hard time finding the hotel shuttle after 20 hours of flight, it took us about 15 minutes, no sign that show us the property of the hotel is waiting for us, finally, I ask his ID and got our hotel to get rest

The property is in a safe quiet location. It has an excellent fitness facility and nice areas to sit inside or outside when guests visit. There is a gorgeous view of the city from the top floor. The staff is very friendly and the manager is exceptional. He went way out of his way to take care of any issue immediately and to accommodate every request. The owner is also very friendly and made a special effort to make me feel welcome. The massage service is also very nice. This hotel is across the street from a private international hospital which is nice (just in case of emergency) and within walking distance to a COVID testing center. It’s also a very short drive to the airport and only took minutes to get there. I very much enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come again.

Tizeze Hotel is conveniently close to the Addis Ababa Airport. The hotel is modest and well-priced and the staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. Honestly, I received the best consideration and service from Bobby (guide/translator/host/new friend) and Kefyalew (driver/escort) than from any other location I traveled to. They saved my trip. During most of my time in Ethiopia (7 days), I was sick. I spent my first and last days in Addis Ababba. On the first day, I asked the front desk for a taxi to take me to a market in the late afternoon. They responded by sending for Bobby and arranging for him to take me around town and help me communicate in the shops. Upon my return to Addis Ababa, Bobby again joined me on a customized tour of the city. Kefyalew drove both days. He was very invested in sharing Ethiopian culture and experiences with me. He contributed to the itinerary and the timing. I highly recommend this dynamic duo to any travelers who want to guarantee they enjoy their time in Addis Ababa.

Staff at the hotel were VERY friendly and helpful. However, I spent a great deal of time explaining that I had actually paid already via Hotels.com (and that this was not Expedia!). Eventually, we had that sorted. There was a plug in heater in the room that was appreciated. A hairdryer was available from reception. I really appreciated the shuttle to/from the airport (but make sure that you advise that your times of arrival/departure are "international time", as Ethiopia has their own localised view on time reference (international time + 6). Great selection of local beers in hotel bar and the barman was very helpful in guiding choice!

I made an overnight stay on transit. The hotel is very near the airport tucked in a residential area. The road off the highway is not the best but short.
Very good experience I had.

Ended up in 3 rooms: first room was dirty, so got changed. In the second room, the flush did not work - hence stayed one night in the 3rd room, where the flush actually did not work either. Seems very bad value for money.

I couldnt have been happier at this hotel. The staff was incredible, the food was really good, it is a great price, and everything was really clean and comfortable. I was sad to leave. It is a bit of a walk to get downtown, which I didnt love at first, but quickly realized that it is a strong benefit of this hotel to be away fro, the noise, crowds and pollution. Fantastic stay.

Great service from staff. Massage in facility. Free airport transfer available (you need to call; don't trust them to reply to emails). Close to airport; but away from main drag (Bole street). Clean modern room.

For my purposes it was fine for the price. Checked in and out quickly so I could get some sleep between flights. Dogs barking outside did not help though.

The staff at Tizeze are very sweet and attentive. The rooms are spotless and the bed extremely comfortable. The restaurant was tasty with good ethiopian fare and delicious vegetarian pizza and juices. Breakfast is super as well. I enjoyed the view of the neighborhood and setting sun from my 4th floor room. It took 12 minutes for me to get to conference at Hilton, even in peak rush hour so there is no reason to pay more than double to stay at Hilton hotel unless you really want to feel you are not in Ethiopia. It is no more than 5 minutes from airport which is great when you are tired, or when you want to be in hotel comfort as long as possible before departure. They also do day rates that are very reasonable - I had a night flight to catch and was able to come to a good agreement for day use of the room which was well worthwhile.

Even though my flight was delayed, the gentleman conducting the transfer to the hotel was waiting for me when I walked out of customs. He was very helpful with baggage, and gave me some details about the hotel. The drive from the airport is about 7 minutes, and it is located in a residential area.
The hotel itself is very nice, and has security. The staff are incredible. In all my years of traveling, I will remember these people as genuinely interested in how you are, how your stay was, how your food was etc. They are putting forth a lot of effort into ensuring your stay is as great as it can be.
The restaurant is white linen, clean, has a bit of a variety of North American food, and Ethiopian food. Service was quick, prices were great, food was excellent. The breakfast buffet was a bit lacking, but I was there right at 0600 when they started, so not everything was out yet. There is a separate bar/coffee area in the lobby which is quite nice.
The room itself was very clean, but I found it a bit warm, and no air conditioning. Not sure if that was just the room I was in. Shower was great, lots of hot water, great water pressure. Towels were clean.
Currency can be exchanged at the front desk, but not a lot. The rate is very resonable.
Overall great experience.

Tizeze is a beautiful, new, clean and modern hotel. I stayed there alone with a toddler for two weeks last month and chose the hotel specifically because of its good reviews. That trip was my fourth trip to Ethiopia in two years--I have quite a lot of experience with Ethiopian hotels. The service at Tizeze was fantastic--I could not have pulled the trip off without the Tizeze staff. Edan, the hotel manager, was incredibly helpful, kind, friendly and resourceful. Edan also protected me from various drivers, vendors and baggage handlers who tried to take advantage of me. The only annoying things I experienced at Tizeze were the same annoying things I have experienced at all Ethiopian hotels. They insist on payment up front for various things. Business support is slow (I tried for two weeks to get three documents printed). And the internet goes down periodically (as it does everywhere in Ethiopia). But the hotel staff was on top of it and I was not without internet or cell reception for longer than a few hours at any time.
The hotel has a great hot buffet breakfast every morning which is included with the room. And as an added bonus there is a salon in the basement for hair and nails. I took three young African girls I have friended to the salon and they were transformed into beautiful women. It cost about $3.75 each for three hours of washing, drying, staightening, curling and setting.

Very nice hotel at a reasonable rate situated close to the airport. Good breakfast included in the room rate. Hotel is clean.
