I can only say this is the best place to stay in Addis if you want a clean, friendly environment with staff who care. The location is great, just off the Bole road which is now of course under construction, but this location will be perfect after the Bole Road construction is complete. The best thing about the lodge is... More

The rooms are fine at Sidama, and the art gallery is charming, but the ventilation in the building is terrible, so it really smells.... anytime anyone fries bacon downstairs or cooks onion in their room, you get the smell in every bedroom! The doors are thin and every room opens off the central stairwell so you hear every knock on... More

I spent a year in Addis getting a project started, and I moved hotels about 5 times before someone called and asked me to drop whatever I was doing and go see Sidama Lodge! I went straight back to my hotel, checked out and moved to Sidama Lodge. It was amazing: Clean mini apartment, big windows, loads of light, vibrant... More

Our family came from California and stayed at Sidama Lodge for several weeks recently, and found this boutique residence to be a "home away from home". Owner/manager Birnesh and the entire staff are very attentive and friendly. They are willing to go the extra mile to make sure your needs are met. Residences are spcaious and have everything you will... More

Check in staff multi task and help out in the dining room. The decor is made up of paintings of emerging artists. Breakfast has to be ordered as one checks in, which was no so clear, when mine was late on the second day. Rooms are clean, but until I left, my bedside lamp had not been replaced after a... More

I stayed at the Sidama lodge for several days in August and couldn't be happier. As a female traveling alone to Addis to bring home our daughter I was worried about the places to stay in Addis. There was no need to worry though, they took great care of us! They treated our little girl like family and made our... More

The Sidama Lodge is a pretty new establishment that is sure to prove popular with people such as consultants or others on STTA (short-term technical assistance) who will be in Addis for more than a day or two to get work done. Conveniently located off the Bole Road -- on the same street as the European Union and the Desalegn... More

I just got back from Addis about 3 weeks ago and much as I've been to Addis a couple of times before, I have to admit that this last trip was positively different, mainly because of where I stayed this time around. I honestly find it hard to call Sidama Lodge a hotel because it really made me feel like... More

We spent several weeks at the Sidama Lodge and could have stayed longer! The staff were extremely kind, helpful and generous. This is what really made our stay fantastic. The rooms were very clean and the cleaning ladies were always very polite and respectful of our privacy if we were working in the room during the day. It was good... More
