The skylight hotel was amongst some of the best five star hotels I have experienced. Security, amenities, restaurants, location, 24 hour service, prompt and friendly staff and service, and more. The quality of the linen and commodities in the rooms were new and very comfortable. Highly recommended to stay here. For the price, I would never imagine to be this low.

I had such a wonderful stay and the room especially the location and the view of the bath with a transparent window from the bedroom was so beautiful and relaxing. The stuff were very knowledgeable, helpful and very humble. I can’t wait to go back
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Very good size room although wear and tear on places, particularly the shower, which could be repaired. Had an issue with lights in the bathroom not switching off although this was dealt in a timely manner. Lots of staff standing around looking bored and not particularly friendly but that’s a minor issue. Bigger problem was the complete lack of signage and information on where to find restaurants, shops, pool, spa etc. as this is such a large hotel in multiple buildings, this would have been helpful
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

A great and very comfortable place to stay for a layover or a couple of days in Addis. The hotel and rooms present very high-end and are spotless and comfortable. The staff were a little aloof and not engaging ... but also not rude, just a neutral experience with the staff.
