Mountain View Hotels in Addis Ababa

It's a nice hotel, spacious rooms and great gym. A little out of the way but worth it.

I stayed in Hotel Lobelia for a total of 5 nights during 3 separate times in July. The hotel is conveniently located, just a 10min drive from Bole international airport, & a free hotel airport shuttle is provided. This was perfect for me as I had to fly in & out of Addis Ababa a couple of times as I traveled around Ethiopia. Besides being close to the airport, the hotel is also very close to many other establishments, such as restaurants, cafes, shops, mall, etc. There is also an ATM just outside the hotel lobby so this was extra convenient. The 3 different rooms I stayed in during my 3 separate stays were all spacious, satisfactory, & clean. The bed was quite comfortable, & the wifi worked well in the room. There was also a separate seating area. A menu for the restaurant, as well as all the services offered by the hotel are also conveniently provided on the desk in the room. The bathrooms are quite small, however, and can use some upgrades, but overall it was fine, and the hot water shower was great. On one of my stays, I did end up getting upgraded to one of the suites, which was a very big room with a very big bathroom. They serve a buffet breakfast which typically included traditional Ethiopian dishes, and sometimes eggs & pancakes, in addition to toast, fruits, juices, coffee, & tea. Besides breakfast, food is available all day at their restaurant, as well as room service. The food at the restaurant is quite good so I did eat here a couple of times. Laundry service was also good – I dropped it off just before 8:30am & got it back just after lunch. They also have luggage storage, which I used to store my big backpack, while I traveled to other parts of Ethiopia with just a small backpack. The overall service is really good here; plus, all the staff, from the reception to the restaurant to the shuttle service, are really nice, friendly, & accommodating. There was always someone to answer any questions and provide any assistance needed, which I really appreciated. This hotel is definitely good value for a short stay in Addis Ababa with easy access to the airport.

Addis is not the easiest city to navigate so your hotel needs to be an oasis. This is not a luxury hotel but a perfectly serviceable hotel you will come to appreciate. The rooms are decent size and beds comfortable. Television shows a coupld of English channels. The breakfast includes a vareity of fresh fruits and vegetables and hot dishes mostly Indian and Middle Eastern. We found a couple of the staff to be particularly helpful. Note that the hotel lists itself as being on Mickey Leland St. but it is set off from there. The Leland name appears to be newish so cab drivers sometimes have trouble finding it--there's a local app for cabs that is helpful. There are many restaurants surrounding this hotel and several ice cream/gelato spots. We happened to stay in three different rooms--higher is better--but the design of the bathroom plumbing connects the shower through an under-fllor pipe with a cleanout valve. In some rooms there is a smell from that arrangement. There also does not appear to be heating and cooling in the rooms-surprisingly that wasn't a problem. Overall, a reasonably priced good choice.

The following are the real pictures and videos I took when I checked into the hotel that day. I checked into room 6002 that day. Hotel location: convenient transportation. Hotel facilities: look at the pictures, which were taken when I checked in that day. Look at the pictures for bedding and linens, the bed is quite comfortable. Disposable slippers are provided. Hotel decoration: look at the pictures. Toilet: dry and wet separation. Breakfast: look at the pictures, it is a buffet. Hotel service staff: I personally think they are very service-minded and were quite nice during my stay. The pictures of the hotel are consistent with the pictures of the room I actually stayed in.

The customer service was very poor. There was black mold growing above my shower. Overall this hotel presents a nice front but when you get beyond the facade of nicety you find a slum lord mentality. It is true that when you make a customer happy they probably won't say anything but when you treat them poorly they will tell the world... Well that is true here. I had a legitimate complaint and was told there was no managers on duty that could address it. Out of trying to solve my issue the front desk apparently called the ”owners son” who was to be consulted in case of no managers being available. He offered to give me ”free services” next time I came to the hotel knowing full well I was about to fly out and would not be back. I had asked for at least a partial refund or some kind of compensation which he refused.

The facilities are very good and comfortable, the hygiene is very clean, the service is very good

Well located in a quiet side street off a busy intersection of multiple roads and within reasonable distance of hte Airport. Staff are very good and helpful. The restaurant is a nice one and well managed. Breakfast spread is fine with good fresh fruits on offer. The hotel offers free drop offs to some nearby points in the city if reserved in advance. The minus points - airconditioning did not work throughout my two week stay. The hotel arranged for a pedestal fan for my room. Though for most of the year AC is not needed, some months it is required. Promised hotel vehicles for pick up from airport did not arrive and the telephone number given in the website was wrong.

Hotel is located in a bit of a quiet area. Staff is really friendly and they clean your room on daily base. WiFi connection is really good!! Restaurant is good and very flexible. They cook the dish you would like to eat! Some things that might be improved: locker and a refrigerator on the room would be nice. Also shower was a bit broken but was nice warm water to use!

Outstanding property with a good view of the city. The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay like “kalkidan” at front desk. The rooms were very comfortable and super clean with affordable price. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning with the help of another staff “kalkidan” from restaurant also my wife and the staff surprised me with Father’s Day cake Tnxs. My wife and my little angel was very happy with the service and hospitality all the staff from the supervisors to the parking attendants thank you so Mach we hope we’ll see you again with same standard and quality.

Boutique hotel in Bole Center, building and furnishings are new. Although there are some minor shortcomings, it is very good. The staff is very attentive and fulfills your requests immediately.
