    We stayed at the hotel for a week. We felt right at home. The breakfast at the hotel was varied. A guard is on duty at the hotel throughout the day, welcoming us and serving us with kindness and respect. The hotel is located in a well-served area, and there are a variety of restaurants and cafes nearby, catering to all tastes, as well as a clothing and necessities market. If the electricity goes out in the neighborhood, you won't feel it, as there's a generator on the hotel

    I liked the hotel manager's attentiveness. He helped us with everything and welcomed us. The hotel is very safe and close to Bole Street. The receptionists are very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. I will come back to them again when I return to Addis Ababa. The hotel has rooms suitable for cooking, and we asked them for kitchen utensils, and they provided them.

    "I had a wonderful stay at Mesay Hotel! The room was very clean. I would like to thank the hotel manager, Yohanes, for his hospitality, welcoming and seeing off guests, and his attention to every aspect. The staff were very friendly. The spa services were excellent. The only downside was the limited breakfast options. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for your next trip!"

    The property was well maintained and conveniently located near the airport, shopping, and entertainment options. The management's professionalism was evident in the warm, welcoming demeanor of the staff. As a US citizen, I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Addis Ababa. Be sure to reach out to the friendly and professional manager, Mr. John.

    The area is unfortunately quite noisy at night (there is a nightclub nearby) which isn't ideal It would be nice if there could be a wifi access downstairs (at the lobby / breakfast area)

    The staff is extremely friendly and the room is exactly as per the pictures. I liked the bathroom (very good shower)

    Actually a mistake hapened when came the time to pay . In the sum of local money (bir) a 0 was added so instead of 1 night i paid 10. The manager told me that was not posible to be canceled & only he could give me cash local money. Looking where could i make tbem $or€ again , i learned that was imposible.As well take them out of the country is illegal & they would keep them in custom plus a penalty for me. Moneygram accepts only foreign curency & illegal ofices are dangerous or change you for the half price. In some way i was lucky because it was 9 nights diference & not for example 36 in case i would pay instead of 4 for 40 nights. Anyway i took the risk and i shared them in my pockets & after a strong control in the airport next day to my lugage & partly to my body , i managed to enter to the departures area where i found (after a good search) some shops so to buy goods & get rid of bir. After all i understood the value of paying through a platform.

    Just genuinely hope they put food tags on the traditional Ethiopian food for foreigners to know what it and to try it. And also to update their menu.

    The hotel was very clean and nice, Such a lovely staff who remembers you when you come back, A big thank you to the Manager Joe, as he solved an issue for me and always made sure my requests were there when I had an elder with me at first. The food was always good with proper portions. The bathrooms were extra clean and they clean on a daily basis.
