For 2 of us, there was only one bath and one hand towel. The phone did not indicate how to call the reception; zero nor asterisk worked. The shower stone floor is very slippery.

A peaceful and welcoming sanctuary after a long journey. The skylight in-terminal hotel is a beautiful place to stay, crisp linen, immaculately clean rooms, cool aircon and peaceful. I loved our stay here. The warm hospitality of the hotel and delicious breakfast made for a memorable stay and we were refreshed for the next leg of our journey! Don't hesitate it's a wonderful hotel and very convenient in the terminal.

Great for a layover

We stayed here during a long layover in Addis Ababa. It was very nice and very convenient, being located within the terminal. Vendors in the terminal charge extraordinarily high prices and is not very comfortable, so it was very nice to be able to retreat to the comfort of this hotel.

My husband and I always check in as a couple, yet the room is always prepared for single travellers. My request is that when bookings are confirmed, plse ensure that enough water, toilet paper, tea/coffee condiments and other bedding are in the room for two adults.

An in-terminal hotel is so helpful together with really friendly and helpful staff. But over the last 2 years the quality of the hotel has deteriorated in my opinion. For example, although my husband and I always book as a couple, we always have to ask for additional towels and water. We've also noticed maintenence is not up to standard eg overflowing shower drainage, and the smell of both damp and sewage in the corridors. Airport announcements are also loud. Hopefully these are just passing problems.

I’m very disappointed as we were given hotel vouchers for myself, husband and 2 young children. The voucher included free breakfast and dinner. When we’re arrived the staff on reception said we have to pay for our breakfast and dinner $25 per person each meal ( totalling $200 ) plus we were charged $50 for an extra bed considering the fact that we had 4 vouchers that I’m assuming covered extra costs for the bed for my sons. A total of $250 I want a refund asap not a happy customer

Book this hotel directly on their website

This hotel offers a roomrate by the hour. Expedia does not offer this option hence I paid for 24 hours but only stayed 8 hours, an overcharge of about $70.

I often stay at this hotel when I'm transiting through Addis, but this time felt really special. I was welcomed at reception like an old friend by Wasihun and Hailegrorgis, and the check-in process was seamless. My room was in perfect condition and very comfortable. The food options for breakfast were better than before, and it's clear that all feedback is taken seriously. Well done to the Skylight team!
