Stayed there for 3 nights last November. As a Platinum I was upgraded to a suite overlooking the musical fountain that works nightly. True that the hotel is in the very center of town and surrounded by extreme poverty, but please this is not unique in the world and spare me the fake sentimatalism. The only alternative in the city would be the Hilton whiach does not compare.
Service is flawless, restaurants are excellent and I found the prices quite reasonnable. If you travel to Ethiopia you have to go to Lalibela to see the churches which are stunningly beautiful (1 hour flight from ADD).
Have a great trip, Ethiopia is incredibly beautiful!
