Everything you need for short stay by the airport

The Empire Addis International hotel is kept in very nice condition with clean rooms, comfortable beds and nice restaurant and bar areas. There is a lot of construction in the area around it and partially finished roads, however it is easy enough to walk out to the main road where you can find restaurants, other hotels and shops. Their airport shuttle is available 24/7 and ready within 5 minutes of asking!

Location was good. Short walk to lots of restaurants. The late checkout time and airport shuttles were also great. I didn’t like the smell emanating from the bathroom.

Be careful

I arrived from the airport at 3am only to find that the room I had reserved wasn’t actually reserved and I had to wait in the lobby until 5:30 for a room to open up. The staff also insisted that I hadn’t paid (I had, but it was online, which they seemed disconnected from). The next morning when I went out for a walk (the hotel is at the end of a dirt road), I was approached by a man who claimed to be the hotel driver who offered to tour me around. It soon became clear he was trying to scam me: inviting me to “cultural dance ceremony” being put on because it was an Ethiopian holiday (it wasn’t). Though he may be unrelated to the hotel he seemed to know people that worked there. Regardless, be careful if traveling in the area.

The restaurant servers were lovely, but the rest of the stay was below par. The bathroom door didn't close, the check-in staff were not very helpful, the airport shuttle arrived very late etc.

It was a nice stay. A problem I experienced was some noise during the night time from outside. Either from the bar or a near by club/building. The staff were friendly for the most part. The food was excellent. Thank you for the good experience.

Great location and amazing staff

Empire Addis International Hotel is located near bole airport and walking distance to two malls, cafe and shops. They have humble and great staff. Looking forward to stay again in the future trips. There is no a lot of space for parking but the location, the reasonable price and convenience pays off.

Good for 1 night transit stay but that is all.

Then hotel is very basic and works for a transit/overnight stay. It is close to airport and there is a free shuttle. Rooms are large but basic and the breakfast is ordinary. This hotel is more a 2 /12 star on international standards
