Hotel berhampiran Amelework Shop, Addis Ababa

Kefetew Guest House was our landing point for two days after arriving Ethiopia. Genet is a well-seasoned host, having lived and managed restaurants extensively in the U.S. before returning to her country of birth after the death of her father. As we were traveling with our two teeen daughters, we were covering a family room in the first floor. The room was spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom was excellent with ample of hot water. What sets this guesthouse apart, however, is the quality of food. Genet and her kitchen crew manage the perfect fusion between traditional Ethiopian food and dishes that are more easy to the Western palate. As traditional food is healthy and tasty, you will get used to it very fast, but if you travel with children, Genet's kitchen is a very good starting point from a culinary perspective. I would also like to remark that we left two suitcases at Genet's house for a charity to pick up in the following days. Not only was this not a problem to Genet - she even gave us an update once the goods were collected. Kefetew Guest House is located at CMC road, which is quite a busy road leading to the airport. At night however, the neighbourhood is quiet. You might however get an early wake-up call by the muezzin of a mosque situated nearby. To us, this was not a disturbance, as we considered this an exotic increase of our vacation experience. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We would like to add the following general observations which we found helpful at the time of our travelling through Ethiopia (April and May 2023). These observations are not related to above review, but should considered as additional input for readers considering to travel to and in Ethiopia: 1. At the time of this writing, Ethiopia still suffered from the consequences of two years of Covid and 16 months of civil war. Tourists were still scarce, therefore we were both regarded as a source of potential business and as a welcome change in perspective. The Ethiopians we met were friendly, open and curious. We responded friendly and open ourselves, but remained firm when things got too overwhelming. 2. The majority of Ethiopians are orthodox Christians with a minority of Muslims. Although people are tolerant and friendly, they take their religion seriously. When visiting churches and mosques, the tried to treat these institutions with utmost respect and dignity, also with our dress attire (no tank tops please). If visiting a church on Sunday, we would recommend buying a white shawl to cover shoulders and (women) head, they cost almost nothing, make a good souvenir and earn you the respect of other churchgoers. Most of the churches have guides eager to explain paintings and structures - and bear in mind: If a curtain is covering an entrance or a painting, it is there for a reason and not as an invitation to boldly go where no tourist went b

要去ADIS 的朋友我推薦這家酒店。 地理位置：離機場五分鐘車程，站在酒店的陽台上就可以看到機場，出發不用提前太久。有酒店的免費巴士往返機場，每15分鐘一趟，24小時服務 設施：設施很完善 房間內物品檔次也很高。 餐飲，休閑，泳池，健身。最贊的是裏面有銀行，可以隨時換匯 餐廳： 早餐真是絕絕子，位於另一幢樓二樓。 比烘培店還齊全的麵包甜點，女士看到直接淪陷。蜂蜜的種類就有五六種。各種水果鮮榨的果汁🍹 冰冰涼涼超過癮。堅果的種類更是多，裏面還有東北的大榛子🌰 安保：來這裏親們不用擔心安全問題，每一輛進來的車都會被檢查仔細。門口一樓入口有安檢。 服務：自己旅行或者商務出差都推薦來這裏，寬敞氣派的大廳可以直接約見談事情，酒店工作人員都非常熱情有禮貌。

This is my second time staying at Ramada but It is my first time at the breakfast buffet on the first floor. When I entranced the breakfast buffet this morning. A gentleman named “Besufkad” greeted me with the biggest smile you have ever seen in Addis Ababa. After I sat down I went to the coffee counter to request for a cup of cappuccino. I remembered that the same gentleman was doing his paperwork. He immediately acknowledged me and promise me a good cup of coffee. 2 minutes later, Besufkad came with the personalized cup of coffee with my name written on the milk froth! He might have know from the restaurant guest list when I mentioned my room number at the beginning for the cheque! Oh well, the breakfast choices were nice and the omelette with chili was my thing! I was in the buffet roughly for an hour or so. I have noticed how awesome Besufkad was to the other guests. He was very helpful and always have his big smile on his face throughout the hours. What a great hospitality and genuine service he provides for his guests. Besufkad, Thank you very much for a great experience staying at this Ramada! You actually made my day :)

Made to feel welcome by the helpful reception staff. Rooms and beds were very comfortable and plenty of hot water and tea making facilities in the rooms. Do take earplugs if you are a light sleeper as local dogs do bark during the night. Good variety of food for breakfast and the omelettes were great. Evening meal service was slow as short of staff, although we were informed as we went in for dinner. The food was ok but not brilliant. We didn't use the spa or gym but they did look good. Overall, a good stay in Addis Ababa and very close to the airport.
