Staylist AI overview · based on 8 public guest reviews

“Ethiopian Skylight's transit hub”

Ethiopian Skylight Hotel is called one of Ethiopia's best — a clean tidy airline-run hotel beside the airport with a shuttle every fifteen minutes (though smaller vehicles leave at once), a wide food variety including a decent Chinese restaurant in the other building, a pleasant environment, a kind desk agent, and business-ready facilities. Caveats though: a six-dollar government tax charged at arrival was never disclosed during booking, breakfast rated average, and a new-block bathroom door needed repair.

Rooms: Clean, tidy rooms; a door fix though.
Service: Kind desk staff for guests on each stay.
Location: Airport adjacent; a shuttle though, guests report.
Food: Average breakfast; a decent Chinese spot.
Facilities: Business ready facilities for guests on each stay.
Value: An undisclosed tax was charged during each stay.
