The bathroom had a shower that only provided cold water, the toilet tank wasn’t filling, another bathroom had a clogged shower drain and blocked toilets, breakfast had long wait times, and the staff’s English was poor.
“Awful”
Continental breakfast. Regarding your questions and comments: 1) I never said I didn’t want my room cleaned. After my first night, someone came at around 11 a.m. to clean, and I asked them to come back in an hour because I was busy. No one returned, and after that no one came again. I never requested no cleaning. You are lying — you do have cockroaches. I attached a photo, and you can compare it with the floor of my room. I killed three of them. When a cockroach gets into your bed at 2 a.m., what exactly am I supposed to do — wake up the whole hotel? I killed it and went back to sleep. I didn’t open the window. The mosquitoes were coming from inside the hotel, getting in under the door, attracted by the light. Living in a hotel with the lights off is not a solution. I didn’t “come back” to stay again — I never left. I had a tour planned, I needed somewhere to leave my things, and there were few options on Booking. So I was forced to stay. 2) I paid 4 out of 6 days fully in dollars. That was more than enough to cover any Booking commission for the remaining 2 days. There was no reason to use an unfair exchange rate. You are lying again: I paid for those 2 days at a rate of 167, not 152. You can check your cameras. The exchange-rate scam is what caused the most frustration. I paid only because I had to leave for a tour and didn’t have time to find other place. 3) I never asked for no cleaning. The manager offered towels once, and I refused because at that moment I didn’t need them. That doesn’t change the fact that basic hotel service wasn’t provided. From your response, it seems I was expected to go to reception every few minutes and ask for basic things: clean the room, fix the water, fix the light, provide soap, deal with cockroaches, deal with mosquitoes. That isn’t normal. These are basic conditions a hotel should provide by default. That is your responsibility
A perfect stay—absolutely would recommend it!
The room was very spacious and clean, even with a small kitchen, and the helpful staff assisted me in finding a guide for my trip to the Danakil Depression. Nothing negative.
“Terrible for that price”
The only positives were the tasty continental breakfast and the friendly receptionist who started her shift around 7 PM each day. If you want cockroaches on your bed at night and mosquitoes biting you to death, this hotel is for you. They also scammed guests with the exchange rate: the bank rate is 155 birr per 1 USD, but here they gave change in birr at their own rate of 152, then later said the dollar price would convert at 167 instead of 155 or 152. I’d rather go to the bank, which is just a minute away. The location is noisy, housekeeping was offered only once during my 6‑day stay (whereas other places offer it daily), the building and furniture are old, there’s no shower gel, and the internet is unstable and slow.
