Monarch Hotel

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The shuttle drivers were good people. Loved the free breakfast and coffee. The lounge on the roof was great. Overall great experience.

Very noisy.

Very good..Staff need trening…

The staff was amazing and the rooms were clean with an amazing view.

Wonderful stay! The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff was extremely friendly, and everything was very clean. The hotel exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

Amazing Hotel, Amazing Room, Amazing Staff, Amazing Service. This is the place to stay in Addis!

Clean rooms, views from the rooftop are so magical! Different breakfast options for different days. Love it!

All staff

VERY friendly staff. I stayed 3 weeks had no complaints except for occasional very minor glitches … normal for that duration. Those were addressed instantly. Room soon felt like a comfortable and familiar “nest” in Addis. Two restaurants were better than most external restaurants. Recommend.

Very loud nightclub on the roof, not the best for sleeping. Wish there was a quiet comfortable space to just have a beer with out the music. Other then that it was good. The gym renovations has taken a lot longer then expected. Location is very good

Very clean hotel

There is a smell that comes from the room or toilet. The bed is very small

I have no comments about the property, everything was great, the property, location, staff especially the food was so delicious

Great staff. Good restaurants

The staff were super friendly.They even gave me a wonderful birthday present (upgrading my room) 😍and they made me a small birthday party by bringing a cake to my room and singing to me 💜

The staff were warm and welcoming right from the entrance. They assisted my mum and me with her luggage, and check-in was quick despite a temporary power outage, which was beyond their control. The room was a comfortable size for two, and overall, we had no issues.

Need. To update every thing

No AC or fan. Room very hot at night, and when you leave windows open for some ventilation insects gets into the room and you can’t have a comfortable night sleep. Asked for a fan and they said they did not have, ended up leaving early before my planned check out and went to another hotel.

Do not be fooled, this is NOT a four star hotel. We had a terrible stay at this hotel in early May 2005. We expected a normal hotel but this was very much below our standards. There is also NO air conditioning so the room was too hot to sleep in, and the street outside was so noisy so it is difficult to leave the balcony door open. The balcony door did not close properly tho, so we were still disturbed by the street noise / construction going on just outside. Before arriving we e-mailed the hotel two times to book the airport pickup. They did not reply to the e-mails. They list a few phone numbers on their website but do not seem to work. When we finally could reach them they told us the driver would meet us in the arrival hall with a sign with my name on it. He did not. After a terrible first nights sleep we asked the reception to change room. After waiting a while they told us we were in "the best room" already and could not understand why we would want to change room. Eventually they allowed us to change rooms if we paid extra, which we did. Only ONE (!!) elevator was working during our stay, so expect 10-15 minute wait ech time. The breakfast in the top floor restaurant was so chaotic and bad that we left and did not go back the other mornings. At check-out the staff suddenly wanted to charge us for two extra bottles on water because we had changed rooms, even though we changed rooms because the first one was so terrible we could not stay in it. Laughable but true.

Everything works for me except that the Elevators are two small boxes for the entire building. I stand 12 minutes to get into one. Just pray there is no fire or emergency that you need to get out of that building fast. Otherwise, I like the service, cleanliness, and everything else.
