The hotel is comfortable and located in the center of Addis Ababa. Me and my family stayed there for a week. It was lovely nice staff plus good breakfast. The WiFi was also surprisingly very fast. There is also many coffee shops and supermarket around so we had no problem getting what we needed during our stay. Overall good place.

Nice budget friendly hotel

Like most people I ended up there for 1 night on transit with Ethiopian airlines. 
Hotel is past its best and needs maintenance, although some rooms are better than others.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Main 2 issues for me were the bad mattresses and the loud music from accros the street for most of the night (not much the hotel can do about this).
Overall it’s ok for 1 transit night

Ok for transit

Our flight from Madagascar to UK necessitated a layover in Addis Ababa.  We didn’t find out the name of the hotel we would be staying in until we got to Tana Airport.  A quick look at Tripadvisor made us think we would be going to a poor hotel.

Our experience, however, was quite different to many of the previous reviews.  The hotel was about 5 minutes from the airport.  We were taken by the hotel shuttle bus.  There was a bit of a delay whilst waiting for other passengers.  We were welcomed at the hotel by smiling receptionists.  We had a large room with a double bed, two armchairs, table, desk and chair, 2-seater sofa, wardrobe and fridge.  The bathroom was fine with a good hot water supply.  Only one towel between us, but soap and shampoo provided.

Dinner was available soon after we arrived - a buffet with bottles of water provided.  Breakfast was very good with excellent coffee.  The chef/waiter was always smiling.

In many ways, the hotel reminded us of basic hotels we stayed in in our younger days in the 1980s.  Modern hotel with 21st-century trappings it is not, but for a one-night stopover it is fine.  We had a decent night’s sleep which is what you want for a layover.

Decent transit hotel

I’ve never rated anything this low.  The rooms are a sh!t show. There is something in the air/some allergen that made me extremely congested.  From the phone, you can’t call the lobby. WiFi goes in and out. Bugs crawling on the walls.  Dirt all over the floors. Bathroom has mystery water running somewhere. Holes in the walls.  Very noisy from the road and hallway all night long. Due to an overnight layover with Ethiopian Airlines, they provided this hotel room. We would have been better staying at the airport overnight; will do so next time.

Would rather stay overnight at the airport.

One of the worst experiences I've had in Addis. No soap, shampoo nor conditioner.  All the electric outlets were not working.  One towl for two guests.  The lamp was broken.  This was a shack in some poor neighborhood motel.  

PS no matching sandals,   lol

We paid $50 usd

What a nightmare

Lovely, polite staff. The receptionists stand up whenever anyone approaches the desk. I like that! Very basic hotel room.  Nothing fancy at all, but clean. Safe. Excellent food! Very flavorful, well cooked dishes. Location in the city is excellent. The TV signal in my room was weak, so I didn't good a lot of channels. Bed could have better fittings.

Lovely staff

I and my friend have been to presidential hotel for one night and I really appreciate the atmosphere of the hotel specially the stuffs of the hotel awesome, regarding myself I highly recommend the hotel,

Very good location

Ethiopian Airlines put us here due to a long layover. They said it was nice, but...Awful hotel with minimal upkeep. room door was cracked. Balcony wouldn't close. Very noisy all night. Food was also quite poor. You'll sleep better on the street.. 

Don't stay here

They didn’t answer the phone call even though we called several times after reaching airport. Somehow one local guy called and requested for the pick up but they denied. They also said that they don’t have any booking information as we didn’t book directly to them. However, after reaching hotel by a local taxi they accepted our booking confirmation but they cheated on the room that we booked. They only gave us one corner suit instead of two. They said 2nd corner suit is unavailable. 2nd room wall paintings were moist and plaster were falling down. Breakfast is too crowded.

Service promised is not guaranteed by the hotel

The glory days for this hotel are long gone.  The hotel features wide halls made of stone which reverberates when anyone walks or talks in the hall.  There is a large window over the hotel room door ensuring that the hall light shines in the room throughout the night.  I changed my room which was poised on a noisy city street only to get another just as noisy.  The bathroom was functional but I can't say much more than that.  This must be a government hotel pressed into service when Ethiopian Airlines flights require a layover.  I can't imagine how else it would stay in business.
