The hotel is described as being close to the National Museum, but it took about ten minutes by car to get there. I felt that the hotel is rather isolated and not near anything and that you need a car to stay there. The standard room is in the back and gets no sun; so it was uncomfortably cold. When I complained, I was given an extra blanket. When I cancelled a future reservation for that reason, the manager was kind enough to offer me a good price at another hotel in their group. The rooms in the front may be warmer, as they get sun. If you need a place to stay before flying out of Addis Ababa, the airport is about ten minutes away.
