For travellers requiring a relatively inexpensive hotel in Addis, the Mimosa is adequate. The staff are helpful and the suite was clean and comfortable. However, the chorus of barking dogs through the night made our sleep problematic. The staff were very willing to change us to the back of the building where the dogs were marginally less bothersome. The hotel... More

I only spent one night here, having exhausted the better part of my funds on a perfectly non-descript (read: any motel in North America) room at the Hilton for ridiculous amounts of money. After several days on a solo trip in Northern Ethiopia (arranged by a really great tour company called Highway Tours), I asked the tour organiser to find... More

So my biggest disclaimer here was the fact that i arrived at a disastrous time, there was no power, internet and water for the majoirty of the 2 nights i was there, not the fault of the hotel but just general problems with Ethiopian infrastructure. Sadly, the communication to guests by hotel staff was terrible with some staff not even... More

Stayed here for two nights prior to a trip to the Lower Omo Valley. Having visited Addis a couple of times before, this is definitely one of the best value options in the city. The airport pick-up was seamless. The hotel is located down a dirt back street (thus making it a quiet area), and is not situated close to... More

I've stayed at this hotel for three months now and can recommend it to anyone who is looking for excellent value for a very reasonable rate. Highest rating goes to the cleanliness of the rooms; the food and the friendly nature of management & staff. Room rate includes breakfast, laundry and internet. The hotel is central to all facilities including... More

Hotel is in a nice neighbourhood South East of Addis main centre on a quiet laneway. Hotel has relatively speedy WiFi and internet access is included in tarriff, as is laundry and breakfast. Staff are helpful, management cares about its guests, rooms are clean and represent excellent value. Some things are a bit slow (food/laundry), but overall, for the price... More

I booked online & everything worked out great! I was picked up at the airport (and when I checked out I was driven to my new location), free laundry, free breakfast, free internet (that was fast) & great staff. The power went out during supper, but they brought all tables candles & had generator up quickly. There was a variety... More

We stayed for one night prior to taking a tour. The airport pickup didn't work out -- he was there, apparently, but we didn't see a sign with either our names or the name of the hotel on it. No problem -- we got a taxi instead and the hotel wasn't far from the airport. Very clean, large room, with... More

I read the reviews and selected this and it was a great choice. The booking via the Internet and Paypal was smooth - congrats to the Ethiopia Hotel Group (Amest Santeem plc) that provided the booking service. The pickup (called Henok) was on time at 06:45 and well signed - for some reason there was no car so Henok had... More
