Guest Reviews
- Jean-sebastien (10/5): - The room was very big and clean. Even with a little kitchen. Good personal, that has helped me to find a guide for my trip to the Danakil Depression Nothing
- Vincenzo (8/5): -
- Konstantin (1/5): Awful - Continental breakfast Regarding your questions and comments: 1) I never said I didn’t want my room cleaned. After my first night, someone came at around 11 a.m. to clean, and I asked them to come back in an hour because I was busy. No one returned, and after that no one came again. I never requested no cleaning. You are lying — you do have cockroaches. I attached a photo, and you can compare it with the floor of my room. I killed three of them. When a cockroach gets into your bed at 2 a.m., what exactly am I supposed to do — wake up the whole hotel? I killed it and went back to sleep. I didn’t open the window. The mosquitoes were coming from inside the hotel, getting in under the door, attracted by the light. Living in a hotel with the lights off is not a solution. I didn’t “come back” to stay again — I never left. I had a tour planned, I needed somewhere to leave my things, and there were few options on Booking. So I was forced to stay. 2) I paid 4 out of 6 days fully in dollars. That was more than enough to cover any Booking commission for the remaining 2 days. There was no reason to use an unfair exchange rate. You are lying again: I paid for those 2 days at a rate of 167, not 152. You can check your cameras. The exchange-rate scam is what caused the most frustration. I paid only because I had to leave for a tour and didn’t have time to find other place. 3) I never asked for no cleaning. The manager offered towels once, and I refused because at that moment I didn’t need them. That doesn’t change the fact that basic hotel service wasn’t provided. From your response, it seems I was expected to go to reception every few minutes and ask for basic things: clean the room, fix the water, fix the light, provide soap, deal with cockroaches, deal with mosquitoes. That isn’t normal. These are basic conditions a hotel should provide by default. That is your responsibility.
- Konstantin (2/5): Terrible for that price - The only good things were the tasty continental breakfast and the pleasant receptionist who came on shift around 7 p.m. every day. If you want cockroaches crawling on your bed at night and mosquitoes biting you to death, this hotel is for you. They also scam guests with the exchange rate. The bank exchange rate is 155 birr per 1 USD. In normal places, when you pay in foreign currency, you get your change in that same currency. But not here. Here, you pay in foreign currency, but they give your change in birr — and not even at the proper bank rate of 155, but at the hotel’s own rate of 152. I said I would rather go to the bank and exchange money there, since the bank was just one minute away from the hotel. But when I came back to pay in birr, they said that the Booking.com price in dollars would now be converted not at 152, not at the bank rate of 155, but at 167!!! This is an absolute scam. Also, the location is very noisy. During my 6-day stay, housekeeping was offered only once, whereas in other places it is offered daily. The building itself and all the furniture are old, and there is no shower gel. Unstable and slow internet.
- Agata (10/5): - Highly recommended :)
- GlobeTrotter Dee (10/5): -
- Alexandre (4/5): Bar juste face au chambre bruit toute la nuit n’y aller pas pour dormir le personnel est agréable - Trop bruyant pas de wifi qui fonctionne correctement et propreté vraiment pas correct les lits sont propre mais le reste non .
- Berdane (8/5): -
- Ghetnet Elias (9/5): Nice stay - The staff are super polite and very supportive. The rooms have a spacious space, place very close to many shops, Bars around and easy to walk. May be the towel I had in my room wasn't the great. Was a bit old and doesn't look clean
- Nebiha (3/5): Two nights Stay - Like the staffs not the hotel No wifi No tv all inoperable Reported however not fixed, they do not even touch it. I have a lot to say however I choose not.
- Mohamed (9/5): Superb - Manager tried his best to entertain us and make us more comfortable. Very noisy location.
- Hailu (9/5): A pleasant stay - I had a pleasant stay overall. The location is great, with easy access to local transport and an airport shuttle. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and spacious. There’s nothing specific to point out, but if you're sensitive to noise, I recommend requesting a room on the side of the building away from the road for a quieter stay.
- Luca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nyc (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic hotel, huge rooms, comfortable, super clean and super comfortable bed. The staff goes above and beyond to help you. The restaurant has a good selection and very generous portions. The burger is excellent! I highly recommend this hotel, and the entire Tigray region. Another gem that Ethiopia has to offer.
- Nina (8/5): Very good - Huge rooms and very comfortable beds. Good breakfast options Noone speaks good English so communication is very difficult and frustrating
- Weidong (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andre (6/5): Pleasant - huge room remote location no WiFi in room and Lobby
- Kumar (9/5): Good hotel, large rooms - Recommended - Large spacious room with comfortable beds. Furnishings were excellent - several small tables for bags and a nice table for working. The bathroom had a hot shower and bath tub. Staff were pleasant and did their best to make my stay better (such as getting me an electric kettle since the room did not have one). The included breakfast was quite tiny - not at all satisfactory. The wifi stopped working after I checked in (luckily I had my own data network).
- Nathan (1/5): Bad - Nothing Nothing
- Alfred (8/5): Very good - The staff was very attentive and competent.
- Shane (7/5): A passable choice in Mekele - The apartments are huge - but sparsely furnished. The kitchen has no utensils - only a kettle - are guests expected to bring their own? The restaurant serves decent food - the included breakfast was good. Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms need some TLC - for example, lights don’t work. I asked the staff if they could get the TV to work - half an hour of fiddling round failed to resolve the issue. There is some noise (even if you get a room away from the road) from surrounding bars.
- Abel (5/5): Passable -
- Yueli (9/5): Family atmosphere - Large and comfortable room, good food No hair dryer, no laundry
- Yueli (9/5): Superb -
- Ivan (9/5): Superb -
- Hillawi (6/5): Pleasant -
- Chan (8/5): Reasonably priced and centrally located - Centrally located in town. There is an in-house restaurant that was convenient and reasonably priced. The room was very large, beyond expectations. The staff was helpful in calling for a taxi to go to the airport. Unfortunately there seems to be some miscommunication and we thought they would pay for the taxi but when we reached the airport we found out it was not paid and we had to pay. No shampoo.
- Sachin (10/5): Exceptional - I have been traveling for the last 15 years and It was my best experience ever at this hotel. Everything was just perfect. It is centrally located, the staff is so polite and friendly, the owner is so kind, the room is neat and clean and the food quality is excellent. It is just a home away from your home. It is perfectly value for money. They just need to change the shower pipe, there is a minor water leaking from it.
- Stephanie (1/5): Scammers - Nothing. They can’t provide even the basic facilities to a guest I had to stay one night because of a cancelled flight and this hotel was close by 1. Water does not work in the toilets 2. There isn’t a single tissue in the toilet 3. The area surrounding the hotel seems so unsafe. I was catcalled by groups right outside of the hotel 4. The next morning when I had to leave, there was a huge fight right outside of the hotel involving an individual with a weapon. Did not make me feel safe at all 5. I went there just for the night and my bill was USD 29. I told them they could deduct it from my card or charge me in birr because I was there out of emergency and did not have USD on me. They refused but then took double the amount in Birr mentioning that I need to compensate them for the BLACK MARKET loss they will incur for accepting birr! WHAT ABOUT MY LOSS FOR NOT EVEN HAVING BASIC WATER FACILITY IN THE TOILET 6. Everything in the bathroom was broken. The plug socket for the hot water was literally hanging out
- Stefan (6/5): Pleasant - The room was big and had a bathtub and a small kitchen (no cooking space). The rice and pasta dishes were very yummy but don't order Ethiopian food.
- Rgat (4/5): Disappointing -
- Nadiya (6/5): Pleasant -
- Pranav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dan (10/5): Exceptional - The staff are EXCELLENT! They helped me to book a ticket and other things too. Such great service
- Carol (10/5): Wonderful hotel with excellent staff - Mekelle Hotel provided excellent accommodation during my stay. The staff were super. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you!
- olivier (10/5): À recommander absolument. Hôtel neuf.très propre - Hôtel neuf. Ascenseur. carreau partout. très propre. Studio 30 m2 exceptionnel avec baignoire et salle de bain neuve. Literie neuve. Canapé et kitchenette. Vue sur le mémorial de martyrs. 1km de l'hypercentre. À recommander. Petit-déjeuner très frais inclus. Serviable et discret. Parfait. Wifi rapide. Juste rajouter un groupe électrogène et ce serait parfait.
- Sarah (10/5): New Hotel in Mek'ele - This hotel was brand new when we stayed, and it was very nice! The hotel manager was easy to reach by (local) phone, and we did not have a problem arranging for our somewhat late check-in, around 9:30 or 10pm. We stayed in a twin/double room for about a week, and found it very comfortable. The only downside was the bar or club on the block that played music very loudly all night. It might be better if your room is on another side of the building or higher than the 2nd floor. We slept with earplugs, which was fine for us! There was some confusion for us about how to pay (we selected the "pay later" option on Expedia, which then told us that the hotel only accepted cash). I think we would have been able to pay with card, but we had already gotten the necessary amount of Birr for our stay, and they accepted that without problem. The young woman and young man who serve as wait staff and cooks were very nice, and worked across the language barrier with little difficulty.
