Due to layover transit we were booked into this hote by ethiopian airlines. To be honest i’d rather have slept on the plane, as the process of overnight transit is somewhat cumbersome (arrived at 9.30 pm, at hotel 0030, without taking out luggage), but thats a different story. Got a bad feeling as sopn as i saw the shuttlebus from the hotel. Although I guess the transit passengers dont get the best of rooms; this was downright appaling. Not clean, 1 handtowel, the bedsheets admittedly looked clean but felt like they had been in use for a while. We did check for bedbugs though, in hope of getting a newer and better room, but even there the hotel «failed». The bed itself was not good. But if you are tired enough and your plane leave on the morrow it’ll kinda work. The breakfast at least led my thoughts away, but alas not to good things. Rice, coffe and juice was basically the only viable choices, and maybe some sort of vegetable stew. The driver of the shuttlebus back to bole gave us a worthy farewell by his safe driving and way to loud music and singing. After which he asked for a tip. I usually tip the drivers almost regardless of the driving, remembering that at least thry grt us alive through traffic we mever would’ve dared trying ourselves. Not this time. Advise: Insist on another hotel if ethiopia tries to give you this gift (you’ll see it on the voucher you get when checking in. Or buy entrance to their lounge. You can’t get worse.
