I stayed at Hotel Lobelia and gave it an overall rating of 3/5. While there were positives, several issues affected my stay. The biggest disappointment was that many of the advertised amenities were not working. In the gym, only the free weights were usable, and both the steam room and sauna were out of service. My airport pickup was also poorly handled. Although I received an email confirming my pickup after sharing my flight details, I waited at the airport for an hour. Delays can happen, but instead of apologizing, I was given excuses, including traffic, even though the hotel is only about an 8-minute drive from the airport and I experienced no traffic on my way there. To make matters worse, there was no electricity when I arrived at the hotel. While power was restored later that evening, it added to an already disappointing start to my stay. I do want to recognize the front desk lady on my second day, July 20, 2026 (wish I had her name). She sincerely apologized for the pickup issue and arranged a taxi for my daily use that I could pay for at checkout. She deserves 5 stars for her excellent customer service. The food was good overall, but egg orders at breakfast often took much longer than expected. The hotel has potential, but the non-functioning amenities and poor handling of the airport pickup significantly lowered my overall rating.

Every one was very nice , clean rooms, and good breakfast.

I stayed at Hotel Lobelia from July 12 to 15 and liked it so much I extended through July 24. The staff were consistently supportive and friendly throughout my whole stay. The location is fantastic, just minutes from the airport by foot or car, with a free shuttle included. With the cold, rainy weather lately, having free access to the steam bath was a real perk, a great way to warm up and ward off the aches and colds that weather like this can bring. The hotel also offers excellent value, with a complimentary breakfast included. My room was spotless and everything worked perfectly, right down to the in-room safe. Thank you, Team Lobelia, for a great stay!

This hotel offers excellent value for budget-conscious families and individuals. It provides all the amenities and services a guest could desire.

"I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Breakfast had a good variety of food, and everything was fresh. The bar had a nice atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Incredible place to stay. Nice coffee shop and restaurant with really yummy food attached to hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful and speak English. The breakfast is cooked by the restaurant and there is variety every day. They cleaned our room every day and we never had to ask. They are an incredible place!

This is a budget friendly place, you get what you pay for. Staff was nice and our shuttle waited a long time for us to get out of the airport. I left before breakfast was available, so no review there. I would say that the rooms are old and they have to fix things frequently. The sink faucet was loose and the toilet stopped working (no water to flush). The shower was fine and the beds were clean and comfortable enough. I would spend more next time for a more modern stay. Wi-Fi was available and worked great.

Staff and breakfast clean room Its great place to stay thanks for staff

Walkable Convinient

It's not bad for the rate- it's cheap so hotel is decent for the price. Beds are nice and clean which is the important part. But the twin rooms are tinyyyyy The hotel location is good, its just off the main road (like 2 min walk) but the alley it is in isn't the safest if you're walking alone, especially at night. Be careful of that. Also when we arrived there was LOUD construction just outside of our window. Bathroom: okay, seems old and it's the cleanest. Shower door was broken and wouldn't close. They provide slippers for guests that are not disposable, which isn't hygienic. I would also suggest a screen for the windows, because you gotta choose between sleeping in a stuffy room or getting feasted on by mosquitoes. But the customer service is good, they are very nice and accommodating. Breakfast is buffet style so really depends what you get that day. Good and convenient airport shuttle.

Love the breakfast variety and the clean rooms. Shower felt amazing and it wasnt as hot in the rooms in the evenings will stay there again on the next visit. Staff was very friendly and the cleaners do a great job. You get alot when you order food so if your not a big eater you can share the food or save for later. Overall a great stay

A very friendly Team who are always willing to support. The Hotel is basic and have some areas that need updating such as the bathroom but it is always clean. The breakfast varies each day, providing a delicious taste of Ethiopia.

Staff was great and accommodating but property was a 2 star hotel, at best. Elevator was not working for the whole week. Water and electricity were reliable. Great selection of traditional food and staff members were pleasant.

Clean and comfortable room, excellent airport shuttle service, friendly and helpful staff, particularly in the housekeeping department, breakfast can be better and the carpet in common area needs to be renovated urgently.

The hotel was decent carpets in the hallway could use cleaning. Housekeeping was adequate breakfast was okay.
