Guest Reviews
- Dariuses (10/5): - This is by far my favorite hotel when I visit Addis! Wudasie is located in a very good area and the hotel personell is very accommodating. The interior antique for the rooms are unique. Tizu warm gracious welcome will make you feel like you’re at home. This will always be my first choice when visiting Addis!
- Ben (4/5): - The staffs are nice but simple things makes the hotel poor shower head is broken and fixed by rubber band bed sheet is very old and hole everywhere shower mixer broken shower curtain dirty…. Overall it’s not worth it!!
- TaGe (8/5): - All staff are good friendly and room always clean
- Petros Oumer (4/5): - Tæt ved transport middel Personalets venlighed. Små kravlende dyr i værelserne samt på toilettet.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff are friendly and assisted with all parts of the booking and airport transfers ran smoothly. Food good, internet connection intermittent but other than that a comfortable and pleasant stay. Thank you.
- Anonymous,USA (10/5): - Very clean, service was fantastic! Lighting was terrible in my room. But I still recommend it. Will pick you up at Bole International Airport. Neighborhood isn’t safe at night, but lots of coffee shops and restaurants nearby.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - I DID NOT EVEN STAY MORE THAN ONE NIGHT IT IT REALLY VERY BAD AND I AM NOT THINK ABOUT THIS HOTEL AGAIN I FEEL WASTING MY MONEY.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff is accommodating, the breakfast was superb. staff members go the extra mile to make you comfortable at all time
- Parpar (10/5): - Very good hotel! I Recommend! Friendly staff! Good breakfast.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Very poor breakfast, no restaurant for lunch and dinner. Noisy outside. No shampoo and body wash.
- Jaehyun (8/5): - 객실/호텔 청결도 객실은 청소 상태가 양호하고, 메트리스가 깨끗하며 편안합니다. 객실 내부는 깔끔하고, 청결합니다. 호텔 외관은 낡았지만, 내부는 리모델링 한 듯 깔끔합니다. 서비스 품질 호텔 직원은 매우 친절합니다. 공항 Pick-up괴ㅏ Drop-off는 무료입니다. 호텔 편의 시설 엘리베이터가 있어서 편리합니다. 객실 내 수압이 좋아 물이 아주 잘 나옵니다. 에어컨과 선풍기는 구비되어 있지 않습니다. 또한, 샤워용품(샴푸, 바디젤)도 구비되지 않았습니다. 생수 한병(싱글룸 기준)은 구비되어 있습니다. 호텔 맨 윗층에 올라가면 근처를 한 눈에 내려다 볼 수 있습니다. 인터넷은 빠르진 않지만 대체로 잘 터집니다. 호텔 위치 공항과는 10분 거리로 매우 가깝습니다. 랜드마크 지역(에드나 몰)과는 조금 멀리있지만, 지상열차역(10분 내)과는 가깝습니다. 랜드마크로 가는 방향은 차가 많이 막히고, 복잡합니다. 대체로 만족합니다.
- Tirthankar (8/5): - It is located close to the airport, and has friendly staff. The food is very good. The rooms are clean. Nice warm water in the shower. The only problem with this hotel is that the area around it is a bit noisy all throughout the night.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The staff are really nice and quite helpful. The location is a bit noisy and the internet service was really bad, also breakfast is basic, they need to improve in that area
- Joe (10/5): - Good hotel, the location is good , near to shopping center
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Quality of WiFi is poor . The breakfast is not much. But the staff are really nice
- Farai (8/5): - Value for money and a sense of family. The staff custom made a city tour for me at nominal cost
- Verified traveler (8/5): - My second visit to the Wudasie Castle Hotel. Good location, clean and the staff are so friendly and kind. For anyone visiting Addis for a short city break, I would recommend this hotel. Breakfast and airport pick up/drop off is also included. I would definitely go back!
- Jenny (8/5): Decent Hotel in Sleazy Area - We had a good stay at the Wudasie Hotel, but we were warned by a number of locals that it is somewhat of a Red Light District at night. It is NOT the hotel's fault, and we never felt threatened in the hotel, but it was highly advised that we not walk around at night. There was a very sleazy club next door, and quite a lot of music noise at night (I use white noise and ear plugs so wasn't bothered much). The food at the hotel is GREAT! It was a really good transition for us coming from the USA and wanting to have safe food to fall back on. Their cooks are excellent (it's a small, humble kitchen with a basic menu which we enjoyed very much).
- Barbara (10/5): Outstanding attention to detail - Wudasie Castle was outstanding and the staff friendly and helpful in every department: reception, restaurant, cleaning staff, drivers. Instant hot water, daily bottled water and well priced menu made for a very comfortable stay. Now back in the UK with happy memories and new friends made. Thank you!
- Verified traveler (6/5): 値段相応 - 良い点 ①部屋が広い ②従業員が親切 悪い点 ①到着時間に空港出口にシャトルバスがいなかかったため電話で呼ぶことになりました。 事前に到着時間を知らせる意味がない。 ②シャワーや洗面台から水が漏れ、靴下がびちょびちょになりました。 ③朝晩は冷えるのですが、部屋が広いこともありシャワー浴びた後が特に寒いです。 ④空港までのシャトルバスの時間を記載したにも関わらず再度確認をしなければならない （シャトルバスの用意をしていなかった様子でした）
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best in the city - Usually disappointed with 3***, 4**** & 5***** hotels in Addis, this hotel is fairly priced, has hot water, decent internet & very clean
- Ronald C. (8/5): Pros and Cons - I had the misfortune of having my cellphone stolen while walking near Meskel Square. The staff, especially the night manager, and several day employees were wonderful helping me deal with a very unpleasant situation. The rooms at Wudasie are clean, functional, beds are comfortable, plenty of hot water , but dogs barking every night from 10 until 1 or 2 was annoying. Neighborhood okay..
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best Hotel in Addis Ababa - I checked-in with lower expectation, as I had tried most the top hotels in Addis Ababa & always had issues despite paying much more money on the rooms & the brand. This hotel is a small hotel type, simple yet beautiful Ethiopian themed design. The bath tub fills up with extremely hot water which is hard to find in most hotels, finally the price was good for Addis Ababa standards. Staff are excellent...highly recommended
- Verified traveler (6/5): 綺麗で立地は良いが… - ホテル周辺には飲食店が複数件ある他、ATMも近くにある。アディスアベバ・ライトレールのニファス・シルクⅡ駅迄徒歩７～８分（但し、車内は常に大混雑）、空港迄車で約10分（送迎有）と交通の便も比較的良い。送迎は無料だが、ホテルの敷地外が待ち合わせ場所（税関を出た所ではなく、ターミナルビルを出たタクシー乗場附近で運転手がネームボードを持っている）なので、初めてだと分かり難い。 ホテルは比較的綺麗で無料Wi-Fiがあり便利だが、客室は至ってシンプル。冷蔵庫も無い。 朝食は無料とのことだったが、朝食時にレストランに係員が誰もおらず、結局外で食べる破目となった。
- Verified traveler (10/5): Centralt och familjärt hotell - Otrolig service, familjärt, rent och funktionellt.
- Thais (8/5): Good hotel 10min from Bole Airport - Very good hotel, kind staff. Airport transfer included. Room is very spacious with city view. The neighborhood seems a bit unsafe if you are a women.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very friendly, well-run hotel in a slightly obscure neighborhood that nonetheless represents authentic Addis. Just be aware that you'll need a taxi to get to the museums unless you want to walk for 45+ minutes uphill (and at altitude, as Addis sits at about 7,000 feet above sea level. Still, it's a nice place to decompress, with a cool little balcony from which to check out the city.
- DrZ (10/5): Great locally owned hotel - Great price, excellent staff, every detail paid attention to service.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Mostly good and very nice staff but poorly staffed during AM breakfast, internet only worked consistently in lobby area and their inability to take credit cards on the day of my check-out was a real hassle. Also hot water ran out unless you were fairly fast at showering. The neighborhood has a fair number of bars and nightclubs which at times were noisy.
- HELIO (8/5): Friendly and helpful staff - Nada de excepcional, mas atende as necessidades básicas para uma boa estadia. Logo após a confirmação da reserva já recebemos mensagem pedindo informações sobre nossa chegada para o transporte desde o aeroporto. Chegamos muito cedo e como havia disponibilidade fizemos o check in antecipado e ainda nos ofereceram o café da manhã como cortesia.
- Karen (10/5): Wudasie was wonderful to me - Incredible warm and personable customer service. I didn't have a flight out until 11 PM, and the manager made amazing accommodations for me to be comfortable while I was waiting. Enjoyed the room -- comfortable and welcoming.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Tolles Management. Sehr gastfreundschaftlich. Internet noch verbesserungsfähig.
- David (10/5): Very good - The staff were fantastic - we really enjoyed our stay - thank you!
- James (10/5): - The staff at Wudasi Castle are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is located in a great area; within walking distance of many great restaurants and attractions. I would definitely go back!
- waynedpj (10/5): above and beyond! - the Wudasie is riddled online with excellent reviews about how nice and helpful the staff is .. and now we know why! smiles, hellos and always happy to help, above and beyond service standards anywhere. the included breakfast varies from buffet to made-to-order depending on the capacity of the hotel, but was always fresh and tasty. the rooms are clean, spacious and very comfortable. as for some reports of noise, even our room above the street was not too noisy, even during Meskel. the area around the hotel feels very much like an active lively neighborhood, with plenty of "real" Ethiopian experiences for food, buna, etc. and the light rail stop is < 10 minutes away by foot. of course, like any hotel, there are bound to be little issues with this or that. but unlike any hotel, the staff was always open to patiently listen, then ready to resolve the problem. so while the Wudasie was definitely a splurge for us, the price was well worth it, if even just considering the rooms and amenities. and then add in the absolutely pleasant and helpful atmosphere created by the staff and it becomes a real treat! we hope the recent troubles in Ethiopia bring about some positive changes for everyone. take care and thanks again to Teddy, Dejen and the rest of the super staff! viva Wudasie!
- Angela (10/5): Excellent service! - Very helpful and friendly staff and owner who went out of their way to make our brief stay in Addis pleasant and easy.
- Candice (10/5): Pleasant - Entire staff was very accomodating and offered genuine kindness. I recommend asking for the driver to guide you throughout the city. Hotel is quiet. Food is decent. Area has a few clubs and cultural restaurants.
- Alexander (8/5): Mycket trivsamt hotell - Jättegod frukost som serveras till ganska sent om man skulle vilja ha lite sovmorgon. Överlag mysigt rum till ett bra pris!
- Zachary (8/5): - The owners were very nice.
- Hailekiros (8/5): - The room is clean and the bed is nice. The staff are very helpful. Excellent complimentary breakfast. Wifi can be improved though. Overall, it was a good stay
- Alexander (8/5): Great value for price - The hotel is very nice and clean. Love all the new hard wood. The traffic can be a bit noisy outside, but it's not too bad. The staff are nice and the breakfast is decent. The internet is OK but not as fast as other hotels
- Linda (10/5): Best Hotel In Addis Ababa - My stay at the Wudasie Castle Hotel was absolutely wondeful!! The staff were so warm and kind. I miss them already. The breakfast was delicious and is included in your hotel price. The rooms are so spacious, and one can see panoramic views of the city from his/her balcony. The beds are comfortable and there are flat screen televisions in every room. The Wudasie Castle Hotel is my second home and I will definitely stay there when I return to Addis Ababa.
- Verified traveler (4/5): good price but some problems - price is OK, but restaurant service is very slow, airport pick up was not on time and difficult to find. chair in the room is not easy to use, and big hole!? at the ceiling right above bed in the room.
- Hugh (10/5): Such warm service in a cosy hotel - The hosts Zelalem and Teddy were the nicest, most hospitable people we met during our stay in Ethiopia and helped us with so much .The hotel is new and modern, the restaurant food is really good and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Internet speed is good and it's only a few minutes either way to Bole or the central city. Wouldn't think twice about booking again.
- Suhail (10/5): Home at Addis Ababa - Each and everyone served with a big smile. Teddy the owner was a great guy and must be really proud of his team. Personalised care at its best. Star hotels have a lot to learn from them. My home in Addis Ababa
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent hospitality, would book again - Everyone, from the owners to the front desk to the restaurant employees, were extremely friendly, polite, and attentive. Felt absolutely welcomed, made the trip that much better. Highly recommended. The food at the restaurant was good as well. (Posted same review on TripAdvisor)
- Tom (10/5): a home away from home - this is my second time at the Wudasie and I'm so happy to have chosen it again. the staff is so welcoming and happy all the time. the rooms are clean and comfortable, the restaurant has a lot of delicious options, and there's an air of comfort on every floor. highly recommended this lovely gem of a hotel in Addis.
- David (10/5): OUTSTANDING - The staff called me by my first name, and I got to know most of them by their names. I even had dinner with the owner one evening. Sort of felt like family. New hotel, well built, super clean, great wifi, centrally located, great laundry service, great free breakfast to order and dining. Best kept secret, don't tell anyone! I'll go back when I return to Ethiopia. Great views of the city.
- Kyle Ahart (10/5): Great hotel for the price. - Grade A service from day 1. The food is great. The wifi was faster then I thought. Clean room and nice view from balcony. Tv always has a good movie you can watch on it. This hotel really over exceeded my expectations.
