Budget & Tips
Small local hotels, with room rates ranging from US$10 to US$20, "do the job", i.e. you get a clean room with a private bathroom, usually hot water, and sometimes even air conditioning. On the other hand, don't expect precious finishing touches: hastily-built edifices are often quickly run down, with masons and electricians in a state of disrepair. In the category just above, in the US$50s for a double room with breakfast, you're already in hotels of a pleasant standard, with good hotel service and more comfortable, finished rooms. There is a higher category, between US$80 and US$150, of charming luxury lodges in the most touristy areas, where the rooms are generally in traditional tukuls and the pool and spa complete the offer. Finally, Addis Ababa boasts a number of luxury addresses, particularly in Bole and Kazanchis, mainly from international chains.
To be booked
Watch out for the African Union summit in Addis Ababa at the end of January! The city is packed with diplomats, so avoid being in the capital at this time or book your hotel early.
For food lovers
Breakfasts are usually continental, but larger buffets can include Ethiopian, Indian and even Chinese dishes in the capital.
Smokers
Smoking is generally permitted in the outdoor areas of hotels, all of which have restaurants with terraces and gardens. Many rooms also have small private terraces with table, chair and ashtray in front of the door.
