Travelled with family
An in-terminal hotel is so helpful together with really friendly and helpful staff. But over the last 2 years the quality of the hotel has deteriorated in my opinion. For example, although my husband and I always book as a couple, we always have to ask for additional towels and water. We've also noticed maintenence is not up to standard eg overflowing shower drainage, and the smell of both damp and sewage in the corridors. Airport announcements are also loud. Hopefully these are just passing problems.

I’m very disappointed as we were given hotel vouchers for myself, husband and 2 young children. The voucher included free breakfast and dinner. When we’re arrived the staff on reception said we have to pay for our breakfast and dinner $25 per person each meal ( totalling $200 ) plus we were charged $50 for an extra bed considering the fact that we had 4 vouchers that I’m assuming covered extra costs for the bed for my sons. A total of $250 I want a refund asap not a happy customer

This hotel offers a roomrate by the hour. Expedia does not offer this option hence I paid for 24 hours but only stayed 8 hours, an overcharge of about $70.

I often stay at this hotel when I'm transiting through Addis, but this time felt really special. I was welcomed at reception like an old friend by Wasihun and Hailegrorgis, and the check-in process was seamless. My room was in perfect condition and very comfortable. The food options for breakfast were better than before, and it's clear that all feedback is taken seriously. Well done to the Skylight team!

On the website it stated all inclusive which is very confusing to my understanding all inclusive means breakfast, lunch and dinner and standard drinks but was no the case once I paid for it.

Needs servicing

Convenient local. Room BO50 smelled of sewer, TV did not work, AC did not work stayed on 25deg. Breakfast was fridge cold, food was prepped the day before. Bed was comfortable, shower had hot water. But really deficient for $180/night when other government hotels close to airport are $50/nite.

This Skylark property is inside the airport terminal (you don't need to leave the airport) not to be confused with the other skylark property which is a 5 min walk outside. Very convenient when you have a long layover. Clean, comfortable bed with a good shower.

Amazingly convenient. Stayed the night on a layover and didn’t have to clear immigration at all, walked out to the gate 20 metres from my room in the morning. Modern and clean rooms with a pretty good breakfast included
