Soramba Hotel - Addis Ababa

The hotel is a old building beside one of the main street and it is noisy and not conformable. The stuff there are trained to get as much money as they can from the guests. They do not have a price list of services is just up to them. Be careful!! Room are old and dirty.Bathroom are dirty and the water is not filtered so you may get dirtier after a […] shower. They don't have shampoo or shower gel. A total discomfort!!!! There is better places for even less money; I am sorry I discover it after a full advance payment. It was a robbery !! Read more

No air onditioner. Breakfast is very poor. Local food that is not appropriate for international travelers.

The food is very good

A nice hotel with helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. Free high speed internet and tv (though with maybe only 5 channels). As a single traveler, I was pleased to find a nice restaurant and cafe on site as it is not particularly safe to walk around by oneself at night and I often got back from work after dark. A 10 minute taxi to the National Museum […] area cost around 100 birr (roughly 6 US dollars) though some would try to charge more. A ready supply of taxis outside made getting around easy. Also within close walking distance of the Addis Ababa restaurant. They also have a free hotel shuttle which I did not know about when I arrived, but used when I left. A decent savings from the approx. $20-25 USD taxi ride from the airport. Read more

Water pressure to low, mattress to hard, king size bed to small......

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

All things good, but the staff really could not help with things like how to get to other cities, even basic info. But rooms were great

Genuine Expedia guest review

Easy check in; basic but clean and for $30 extended access to my room for 7 hours for late airport departure.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff were very pleasant and the restaurant and rooms fine. But the lamps in the room had no bulbs so it was difficult to read.

the gym is under construction with no completion date in the forecast, otherwise it was clean, the breakfast buffet was average, the room was nice and clean, location good in terms of being close to a shopping district especially if you like jewelry where the gold and silver items are a couple of blocks away, so it reminds you of most downtown districts […] with gift shops, tailors, restaurants,,,etc Read more

The hotel was reasonably comfortable and the staff were okay. If you are relying on transport to/from the airport/hotel, be prepared to have to wait. Despite having phoned the hotel prior to our arrival with the flight details, there was no transport waiting for us, so we had to phone the hotel again from the airport. We had already booked to stay in […] The Soramba Hotel 6 nights later. The Hotel we were staying at in Lalibela, Ethiopia, phoned the hotel the night before we were due to arrive, again with flight details. On arrival at the airport, no transport. 3 phone calls and an hour and a half later, our transport finally arrived. On arrival at the hotel, we received no apology. We will not be staying at The Soramba Hotel again. Read more

The limited attention to maintenance of the fabric of the building is just starting to show up. Chunks of plaster from the bathroom door surround fell on the floor occasionally. But the hotel staff were very helpful, patient and attentive. The food in the hotel restaurant is unexceptional, but adequate. Hotel laundry is fast and efficient, my shirts […] being returned crisply ironed and spotless. Read more

I stayed here for one night and I was very glad that they had the free shuttle to the airport. I spent a lot of money getting to the hotel because I did not know they had a shuttle. Excellent Internet speed - but its not wireless. The rooms are clean but old.

This is a new hotel in Addis Abbeba. 24 Hours restaurant service, nice rooms, good warm water. Good internet including in the price!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Soramba is located in the old part of the town. You can take a blue taxi for a cheap price to anywhere in town. The area is safe, as seem all areas to be in Addis and the staff is incredibly nice. If you can't find your things it is because you misplaced them. The staff is being checked before leaving the hotel, which is good for both your and their […] safety. rooms are clean and very well kept. The hotel is up on a small hill so the air is nice. It is located in the old part of town (Piazza) and a bit far from the modern part of Bole, but in taxi it takes 15 min. it is right next to the Cathedral where Haile Selassie was crowned and if you want to walk to Merkato (the largest market in Africa) it is a 20 minute walk. All staff were very kind to us, I guess if you you yourself treat people with a smile you will get one back. We arrived late at night and there was no shuttle. The taxi trip from the airport is not much. They provide a free shuttle at daytime and early night. We stayed three people in a room for 12 days and liked both the hotel and food. if you want to eat cheap local traditional food then don't be afraid to go across the road to the left (the pink little building). Three people eating and having coffe extremely cheep. We don't regret choosing this hotel. David, Maja and Siri from Sweden Read more

not impressed

Genuine Expedia guest review

Connaissant déjà Addis Abeba nous avons pu nous débrouiller pour les déplacements dans la ville et les recherches de musées et endroits à visiter sans l'aide du personnel de la réception. Pas d'aide de leur part, pour indiquer un restaurant ou autres. Dommage !!! L'insonorisation des chambres fait également défaut. Le buffet du petit déjeuner décevant […] pour un occidental.

L'hotel offre un accès internet gratuit et une navette gratuite aussi pour l'aéroport

Genuine Expedia guest review

入国してすぐに泊まった時は、ネットで送迎バスを予約していたから来てくれました。しかし、最終日に泊まる予約と、バハルタールからのフライト時間もしっかり伝えたのに、空港に着くと誰もおらず。パーキングを探したがおらず、仕方なくタクシーでホテルまで行く。そのことを伝えると、なぜ電話してこなかったの？違う人はあなたのこと知ってるけど、私は知らないわ、と。 値段の割に、 サービスがよくないかな。こんなもんかしら。

Was in Addis for a Buisness stage. The hotel has a good internet connection and a fair restaurant. Conpared to the price and would come again.

2階に宿泊しました。道路に面しており、窓が薄いためか、外の騒音が多少気になります。 しかしサービスの質は良いかと思います。朝5時に無料シャトルバスを手配してくれました。

My friend and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. We had a nice room on the top floor. The staff was very helpful and service minded, that included everyone from the hotel manager to the people serving us at the restaurant.

nicht ganz zufrieden; auf lokale Taxis angewiesen;

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotellets beliggenhed er rigtig fin - tæt på Addis Ababas Piazza. Det er et relativt nyt hotel men ikke vedligeholdt særlig godt. Værelset var rummeligt og med TV (bla. BBC og et par filmkanaler med engelsk-sprogede film). Gulvtæppet var ret beskidt ved ankomst og blev undervejs ikke støvsuget men fejet med en moppe! Vi var lovet morgenmadsbuffet ved […] bestillingen men det var der ikke, i stedet bestiller man ud fra et noget begrænset menukort, og flere af tingene havde de ikke. Nogle af dagene var betjeningen ved morgenmaden meget langsom og mangelfuld, andre dage fin. Shuttlebus til lufthavnen. Vi endte med at betale noget mindre end den pris vi fik oplyst, da vi bestile. Det var ikke noget vi forhandlede os til men simpelthen den pris de tog for et dobbeltværelse. Read more
