Classic Ethiopian hotel

This hotel is excellent for those of us who love Ethiopia and prefer peaceful, nostalgic atmosphere to fancy, noisy modern hotels. Good old Ethiopian style hotel with a huge and quiet compound with large swimming pool, in the heart of the city. Stable water supply, electricity and Wifi with satisfying speed. Fair room rates. In every way a very pleasant stay. Take the opportunity to experience this classic hotel before it's gone!

Pleasant stay in characteristic hotel

Ghion Hotel is a very pleasant hotel to stay. The surroundings are excellent, including park and swimming pool, in the heart of the city. The hotel has a great history. Service staff is always willing to help. The rooms need some updating maybe, but the beds are excellent, and the shower is always hot. Personally I like Ghion Hotel much.

The Ghion short visit.

It's the end of winter time and the rooms were cold. The hot water does not come on after 11pm sometimes. It's only one key so housekeeping can't clean your room when you are out. Walls are very thin because I can hear chatter. Staff are quite lovely, helpful and friendly. Food is very good. Location is ideal for going to your business meeting or for site seeing this beautiful city Addis Ababa.... Lots of incredible history to soak in for the first time.
