Marcen Addis Hotel 22 around Chichiniya — Hotel in Addis Ababa

Take this from someone who has stayed here for two months - folks here have figured out how to run a hotel. I was working from the hotel w/ regular video meetings, so high speed internet and quiet environment were non-negotiable for me and I found that consistently here. Also appreciated the fitness room which is not easy to find in hotels of this size in Addis. Bed was comfortable and shower had strong pressure. What exceeded my expectation is the staff's professionalism, hospitality and responsiveness and how that was consistent throughout my extended stay here. Overall great experience and great value for the money considering the amenities and proximity to the bustling Bole area (within

This was a great hotel with an even better staff. I am an American who has been traveling the world continuously for 3 years and know what to expect from hotels. And this hotel will not disappoint. The hotel staff especially Abebe the hotel manager will go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. Abebe made sure I was taken care before I even arrived. I sent him an email asking about an early check in and airport pick up after a red eye flight which he made sure happened. I was even given a late check out for another red eye flight when I left Addis Ababa. But, everyone from the restaurant wait staff, the receptionist, security and cleaning crew will do what ever they have to to make sure you are taken care of. They truly understand good customer service. They even found me a great taxi driver (Sammy) who spent the week driving me around Addis Ababa showing me around the Mercato and Entoto HIll. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, clean, friendly and safe place to stay at a great price. This place is my new second home when ever I pass through...

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...
