More to be done

This hotel is excellent for those of us who love Ethiopia and prefer peaceful, nostalgic atmosphere to fancy, noisy modern hotels. Good old Ethiopian style hotel with a huge and quiet compound with large swimming pool, in the heart of the city. Stable water supply, electricity and Wifi with satisfying speed. Fair room rates. In every way a very pleasant stay. Take the opportunity to experience this classic hotel before it's gone!

Happy to

Sehr schönes und sauberes Zimmer. Parkanlage war auch sehr schön. Expedia sollte die Hotelbeschreibung anpassen: Tennisanlage nicht vorhanden, Fitnessstudio gehört nicht dem Hotel an, sondern wird privat geführt. Nur gegen eine monatliche Mitgliedschaft nutzbar. Warmwasser selten vorhanden. Das Ghion Hotel muss unbedingt am Management arbeiten und sich verbessern. Zum einen war trotz 2-maliger schriftlicher Benachrichtigung der kostenfreie Flughafen Shuttle Bus nicht da. Mitten in der Nacht mussten wir ein Taxi selber organisieren, telefonisch war niemand zu erreichen. Dort angekommen, war zunächst einmal alles dunkel, erst als das Taxi vorfuhr, kam der Portier, um die Tür zu öffnen. Erste Frage: haben Sie gebucht? Wir konnten dies bestätigen, dass wir vor 4 Monaten gebucht und eine Bestätigung des Hotels bekommen hatten. Zur Antwort kam: wir haben kein Zimmer frei. Erst nach langer Diskussion ist der Manager gekommen und hat uns ein schreckliches Zimmer für die Nacht gegeben. Wir haben später verstanden, dass es wohl daran liegen musste, dass die Afrikanische Union zum Zeitpunkt eine Versammlung hatte und die Zimmer (wir hatten eine Suite gebucht) doppelt verkauft wurden. Nach Beendigung der AU Versammlung, kam der Baustellenlärm hinzu. Die Bauarbeiten in der Hotel-Parkanlage gingen 24 Stunden, so dass man in der Nacht kein Schlaf fand. Nachdem wir (und andere Hotelgäste) uns beschwert hatten, reduzierte sich am 3. Tag der Baustellenlärm auf die Zeiten 7:00 bis 22:00 Uhr.

I tried to call them from Japan because I wanted to make sure that the shuttle bus would come to the airport to pick me up . However, the phone numbers are old, and I have never got to reach them. Shuttle bus never showed up when I have arrived at the airport despite the fact I have booked the shuttle service when I booked the room on this hotel. I am no satisfied with this hotel service

This hotel needs some renovation every thing looks older than 100 years old.

到着時の空港送迎で1時間以上も待ったのが残念。 レセプションのスタッフも英語が話せる人とそうでない人の差が激しい。 ホットシャワーも出ると言われたがほぼ水でシャワーを浴びるのが辛かった。

Le personnel est très serviable et professionnel, mais les sanitaires ne sont pas aux normes. La salle de bain est bouchée, les WC ne se remplissent pas, et il y a une fuite d'eau au niveau de la douchette.

Shower doesn’t work. No hot water in shower

It was nice

An awful start to my stay at the hotel and arrival in Ethiopia They left me stranded at the airport at night for hours despite me contacting them on 4 occasions prior to my arrival. and hotels.com contacted them twice too l when I had zero reply on the airport shuttle. They failed to respond or provide this and when you don’t know the language and your phone doesn’t work in this country - as i explained to them - it leaves you in a very vulnerable position. When I wanted to leave after several other things not working the hotel refused to refund me as unfortunately I paid upfront. Hotels.com also extremely unhelpful

Ok

We really valued our stay at the Ghion Hotel. The rates were excellent, the staff are lovely and it's a real piece of Ethiopian history. The African Jazz Village is top notch and home to the timeless Father of Ethiopian Jazz, Dr. Mulatu Astateke. Meals were copious and delicious - Breakfast is free! We are used to staying at more modern (read: updated) luxurious places but I'd go back for the charm, people and music.

Det var bra fantastiskt miljö och mat och service omgivningen.Tyvärr dåligt toaletter och varmt vatten ,det var besvärligt inge kunde åtgärda problemet .

Ghion is an old hotel, and a good option for a very affordable hotel ideally located in the heart of Addis-Abeba. The bed is quite confortable but the bathroom and the water-heating system is from another century... quite slow to get some reasonably hot water. Sound isolation is quite bad. The hotel itself is quiet, but we hear the noise of the street constantly, including some very early morning religious chants. Breakfast is included, quite nice buffet with typical ethiopian specialties. Receptionists are friendly and willing to help, specially when you need a taxi. But communication is sometimes complicated.

Noise sometimes woken at 5am..

In spite of that their facilities show in some parts the time passing, all staff is very attentive and efficient; gardens are enjoyable, also the Jazz club, is well ocated near the National Museum, bus and metro stations, view from Woreknesh Genet Restaurant.
