Dimitri Hotel

good value for money

Nice Hotel on Outskirts of Addis Cean Helpfull Staff.Slight downside getting in to addis allow 30 Min + but at this price a Bargain for Addis

No airport transfer, no mini bar,no coffee or tea making facilities,all of which they said was available on their website. The hotel was next to several building sites in what can only be described as an industrial area of the city. Overall very poor,don't go there.

Pleasant stay but the internet facility did not function

This hotel was very friendly, comfortable, and very safe. I stayed with a colleague for two nights while on vacation in Addis, and this hotel was perfect. Our flight arrived ini Addis very early (6am) and the hotel, to my surprise, let us check in early at no extra charge. The staff is kind and helpful, they can help arrange anything you needs (tours, transportation, etc). Also, the food is good, and the hotel is in walking distance to other restaurants and shops. Next time I am in Addis, I will stay here.

There were many factors that swayed my decision to stay at the Dimitri take, of which were the reviews offered by several of its pervious guest. We arrived late in the evening, but found the staff to be as enthusiastic and courteous as if their day had just started. Our booked room did not offer a refrigerator, yet we were quickly moved to one that did, slightly larger and at no extra charge for the accommodations. I was skeptical that we would be able to get something to eat or any service at all for that matter, but, again my skepticism was unwarranted. Upon a call to the receptionist desk, my order was taken with a friendly voice and the service was rendered in a timely manner without any foul attitudes or disposition attached. The décor of the rooms are tasteful, although some of the furnishings show signs of slight damage or abuse from previous guess or staff, nothing critical, yet noteworthy enough to mention. The food menu offered several selections of tasty dishes we’ve all grow accustom to as well as some authentic Ethiopian cuisines for those who wished to venture in to the original.The Dimitri, while lacking the convenience of on-site shopping and a multitude of recreational facilities, it definitely makes up for it with a pleasant décor, courteous, friendly staff, and service that I personal found was better than or equal to that given by one of the main name sake hotels here in Addis of which I’ve had the pleasure of staying before.

I stayed at the Dimitri because of the reviews and the price. It's a wonderful place and the service is great. After my first night, I mentioned I needed some things (fridge, more hot water, a power stripconverter). The manager moved me to a more expensive room at no charge. I did pay a onetime fee for the fridge, but that was not surprising. I live in Etiopia and have become accustomed to the taxi drivers and street beggars, so a long walk to the corner for some things at local shops was not a problem for me. Someone new to Ethiopia might feel isolated as everything you want to see will require a taxi ride. For business, it's a comfortable place with a large dining room and a very good breakfast. Other food was very good, especially by Ethiopian standards. The hamburger here was the best I've had in Ethiopia. Great hotel, good prices, kind of far out.

Approx 20 minute taxi from the airport - expect to pay $15+ for this. The meagre breakfast which was included with the room (coffee, toast, one egg) took 30 minutes to arrive even though we were the only two people in the hotel. I would not stay here again. Nb. If stopping over in Addis you'll have to buy a visa - $20 per person.

Very nice hotel with a modern shower and high quality furniture. Clean, very friendly staff. Huge flat screen TV with English channels (CNN, Fox movies). Location isnt ideal if you are tourists in Addis.

Staff were helpful enough, room a decent size, TV's everywhere, with limited channels in English. They had not made up my daughters bed, but did so when asked. Breakfast was limited, but OK, but with no evening food on site, and as there is not much around there, you need a taxi ride. It was not really a bargain, but certainly not a rip off either. Addis is such a spawling city that nowhere is that central really, but this hotel needs taxi rides everywhere.
