    The rooms were so swanky, I mean, we felt like we were living the high life. Plus, they had this dope area shuttle that took us to all the lit spots nearby. We had a blast exploring the city and turning up with our squad!

    The only thing that could've made our stay even more lit would be if the hotel had a sick rooftop party area. Can you imagine the vibes?

    I loved the personalized service and the charming atmosphere of the hotel. The restaurant had tasty international cuisine and even vegetarian options. The complimentary wired and wireless Internet access were a lifesaver. And the shared lounge and bar were perfect for socializing.

    The only downside was that the complimentary newspapers in the lobby were a bit outdated. But hey, who needs newspapers when you have the Internet, right?

    The breakfast was good and the shuttle service was helpful. the location was convenient and close to the area where I had my business meetings.

    The room was outdated and in need of remodeling. the shower was not great, with little to no cold water and the hot water was too hot to use comfortably.

    The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel manager even upgraded us to a luxury suite, providing us with an amazing experience. The facilities were excellent, including the delicious breakfast. The hotel also provided an area shuttle, making it convenient for us to explore nearby destinations. We highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a home away from home.

    For dads, it would be great if the hotel had a play area for children.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. The room we were assigned was incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was equipped with everything we needed, and the sofa and armchairs in the room were a nice touch. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful throughout our stay. We also enjoyed having a restaurant cafe downstairs that served excellent coffee. Despite being located on a quiet street, the hotel had a homely atmosphere that we appreciated.

    The location is close enough to the main road. the rooms are spacious and provide a lot of natural light. Warm water is accessible round the clock. Breakfast was average but had a few good options. the hotel provides airport pickup and drop-offs. Wifi works well in most areas.

    The hotel could use some improvement in terms of its housekeeping service.

The staff, from the bell boy to the manager, were incredibly kind and helpful, always going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The rooms were spacious and clean, and I loved the personal touch provided by the staff. The breakfast was delicious, offering a nice variety of options. this place exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

    The staff at this hotel were incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay with children a breeze. The rooms were spacious and fancy, and the hotel even offered free airport transfers. We also enjoyed a late check-out, thanks to the Genius program. The hotel is located in a nice neighborhood with a great Greek restaurant nearby. Definitely a place I would stay at again.

    Felt right at home, no reason to complain.

    I had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The spacious and clean room had a comfortable bed, good wifi, and a nice bathroom with plenty of warm water. The hotel also provided complementary mineral water daily. The location was great, with easy parking and transportation. It was located in a nice area for shopping and there were many tourist places nearby, as well as numerous restaurants in this city. The breakfast was also excellent.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

    The rooms at The Residence Hotel are unlike any other I've stayed in - each one is absolutely unique and beautifully decorated. The beds are super comfy and the workspaces are perfect for digital nomads like me. I loved having a separate sitting area to relax in, and the bathrobes were a nice touch.

    Personally, I'm not a fan of the shower/tub combinations in the private bathrooms. But hey, that's just my preference.

    We partied like there was no tomorrow! The staff were super cool and hooked us up with the raddest nightlife spots in Addis Ababa. The rooms were sick, so spacious and comfy. And the WiFi? On fleek! We were able to Snapchat our entire trip without any lag. We totally recommend staying here if you're looking for a lit time in the city!

    The only thing we wished for was a pool or rooftop party area. It would have been epic to chill and have a blast by the water or under the stars.

    A charming hotel with "personalized" service, featuring a sleek restaurant serving "distinct" international cuisine. The property has "everything you need" including complimentary WiFi and a business center. The shared lounge and bar offer a lovely ambiance.

    Who needs an on-site restaurant with Vegetarian options? Definitely not me!

    The hotel provided free airport pick up and drop off, and was conveniently located close to my office. The breakfast was tasty, and I enjoyed the comfortable and clean rooms.

    The hotel had some plumbing issues during my stay, which left me without hot water for the first few days. the cleaning staff was not very attentive and I had to ask them to replenish my toiletries multiple times.
