Half the price of Taitu and basic, but no complaints. Felt secure - much harder for people to enter the grounds unnoticed than Taitu. Nice courtyard. Shower had reliable hot water though bathroom cramped. Staff friendly.

I checked in at night, and from the outside it looks really nice, but the rooms....oh the rooms. For the price I paid (210 birr per night) not worth it at all!!!!! Either the guy just overcharged me, but these rooms are not worth $12 a night! I was definitely ripped off and don't recommend this hostel at all! Friendly... More

The rooms are super cheap, VERY basic, but clean. You do get your own bathroom. The smaller ones (twin size bed) come to 95 birr a night while the larger ones are 115. The cheap linoleum was cracked and coming up in places and my closet was pretty much unfinished. You have to be careful with the larger rooms, since... More

I stayed here twice during my trip -- ie at the start, and then i came again when i passed through Addis at the end. In other words, i liked it enough to return: the rooms are basic and mostly a bit dark, but clean. And the leafy yard and sitting area is great for having a first, and last,... More

The price of this place is great, and our double room with 2 queen beds was big enough, and the beds were clean. The beds were a bit wrecked though so my back (which doesn't normally have problems) was a bit sore after. They didn't seem to have cleaned the bathroom in a long time so I made sure I... More

I was on Baro Hotel during 4 or 5 nights in September. It is perfect if you travel with a limited budget. Rooms are clean, and has bathroom. It is perfect if you look for a cheap hotel and has not really big expectations. I only want to have a place to sleep and left my bag, so this was... More

This is a popular backpacker hotel in Addis Ababa. It's often booked up when you arrive, so book ahead. You can usually get a room the next day if it's full. They only have a few doubles. Most of the rooms have one big bed and they don't allow more than one person to stay in those rooms. 95 birr... More
