The dance hall next door is noisy if you are in the rooms at the end of the hallway

Clean, simple, convenient!

I stayed fir 2 nights. The room is very large and very clean. There is a loud music outside at least until 11 pm or later. I paid for breakfast, but did not get a chance room try any. No box snacks available for early departure. And, of course, the area around is under construction. There is no sign for hotel outside the building, etc.

It's not quiet because there is a school (daytime) and a night club (night time). They won't accept credit card payment, so you have to prepare Paypal account etc.

Very good hospitality.

The only problem here is the internet. It didn't really work for us. But honestly, this is something you will have to get used to in Addis so not really the fault of the property.

Betsi is one of my favorite places to stay in Addis because of the super helpful host and the convenient location. You get free breakfast and are a short walk away from the best eats in town. Highly recommend this place for couples and budget travelers.

No coffee with breakfast! But I found Tesfa Coffee just around the corner which does excellent coffee so it doesn't matter :)

Very good value for money accommodation in a very central location - it's possible to walk to many of the main attractions, churches, museums etc. Easy to communicate with the host. They arranged a free transfer from the airport because I stayed several nights.

The staff are friendly, diligent, and just plain awesome. And if you’re visiting the National Museum of Ethiopia, it’s right across the street.

The breakfast is good (toast / eggs / tea), however if you stay multiple days you may want to go out to try something different

Location is perfect. Great area to explore Addis. The room is clean, spacious and comfortable. The service of Biruk is amazing and very kind. One evening he invited me for a beer and we went out together. Also the lady who prepares breakfast and cleans is so kind and helpful. Many restaurants and bars around. Great guesthouse!!

The school and church noises

Brook very good man ,, and the room is very clean, And the breakfast is good, big size rooms

Stayed in January 2024

There is a bar behind that can be a bit noisy in the night. We had earplugs and it was not on every night, and not all rooms would be affected.

Betsi B&B was an excellent choice for us during our stay in Addis. It is close to the University area so really convenient for anyone visiting there. It is also close to some really good local restaurants. The rooms are basic but well equipped and even have a small kitchen area which is handy. The whole place is really clean. The breakfasts were simple but perfectly adequate, toast, butter, jam, scrambled egg, tea - all fresh. The staff there were wonderful. From the sweet, humble cleaning lady to Biruk the manager. Biruk went out of his way to help us... He is a very genuine individual, good company and cannot do enough for you. He took us out on a day trip around Addis and also came with us on various outings to help us find things to buy and get fair prices. I would definitely go back if I visited again.

The location is right next to a poorer 'shanty town', which are unfortunately very common in Addis. That's absolutely not a knock against the establishment, but may make some people uncomfortable.

This is a wonderful B&B; it is very local and very convenient to the National Museum (across the street), and in an area filled with little shops, , grocery stores, ATMs, restaurants and only about 4 km north of Meskal Square. Biruk and Betsi are wonderful hosts and work very hard to ensure all their guests are well taken care of, and clearly enjoy what they do. It is their place and they show it!! They are a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for their city. Rooms are very spacious and equipped with all the basics. The building is secure and one floor of a 5 story building with offices in the other space. Food was very satisfying and will get you off to a good start for your day. Note that this is a good solid B&B; it is not a fully equipped business or family-style hotel but it's wonderful place that will serve you well for a stay in Addis! It is PERFECT for a DIY tourist.

The external view from the room. The breakfast was a bit poor but compare to the room price, I can understand. Simply, they need to improve as the name of the Hotel is BBB ( Betsi Bed and Breakfast) so they have to take care of the triple B.

The location is nice, just in front of the National Museum. Betsey picked me from the airport to the hotel, and they charged me only 10$. Staff knowing the country history and explaining to the guest. Particularly, the availability of Biruk to assist me during my 2 days stay was exceptional. He took me to the mountain, the city tour, foods and parks.... I really appreciate his company.

power outages are common but I think that's common in African countries

Nice staff

Stayed in January 2023

The place was a bit noisy - there was some noise from the hallway, and from the part of town where the B&B is located. It was also difficult to keep the room dark during daytime.

Betsi, the host, was the best thing about this B&B. She gave me a warm welcome in her perfect English. When she noticed I was struggling to find a place to eat, she personally drove me to a nice and not too expensive restaurant. Betsi was always ready to help me out with anything.
