A leaky bathroom ceiling, cracked bath, clean but battered rooms (with no air-con), balcony windows with broken locks, and a larger than usual roach population all make this an adequate but far from great business hotel. Fine if you have to, but definitely not first choice in Adis Ababa. More

So be ware. I booked and stayed at this hotel thinking it' s one of Inercontinental chain of hotels. But was disappointed to find out it was not the real stuff. This is a fake "IC hotel" . Yet the hotel charges the same amount as the other legit international hotels chains such Hilton, Sheraton or Raddison next door. This... More

The service was good and rooms, depending on which you get (the suites) are really nice. The hotel lobby is somewhere a lot of the guests like to hang out (perhaps it's the slightly 'mall-ish' feel of it). As for location, its not the best, but not much can be done about that. The restaurant is it's best part, the... More

This hotel is quit well located close to the centre of town towards the airport. The staff are very very firendly end helpful and several items for which we had to pay extra at other hotels were included (e.g. airport transfer and internet). There is wi-fi available in the lobby. The hotel is somewhat smaller than the other 'leading' hotels... More

I had an early check in but my room wasn't ready so they upgraded me at no extra cost, the rooms are built round a central atrium approximately 10 storeys high. Access is by glass external lift which is difficult if you don't... More

The Intercontinental was a very easy place to stay in Addis. Unlike a lot of other Hotels in Ethiopia, you can check in, stay, pay at the end and leave. The bedding linen and bathroom towels are changed every day, and the mini bar re-stocked. The beds are comfy. The rooms are large and spacious, most have a balcony. No... More

This is a good hotel, not cheap at $150 per night but the staff make up for it. The rooms are large and airy but the need to be as there is an absence of air conditioning.

The hotel is tidy, however the rooms would need some refurbishment. Public areas are OK. The staff is friendly and efficient and breakfast buffet quite comprehensive and good. Please note that the hotel is not a part of the Intercontinental chain, so if you expect it, you will be disappointed. If you want to stay in an international hotel, you... More
