The room was incredibly spacious and clean, easily accommodating everyone with ample space. We appreciated that the extra bed we requested for our child was already in the room upon arrival, and it was a good, extra-large size. The complimentary airport shuttle was a huge convenience. The hotel's strategic location was also a major plus, being close to numerous restaurants and cafes, and having two ATM machines right outside was incredibly handy. Throughout our stay, the staff were consistently friendly and helpful.

However, there were a few areas for improvement. The Wi-Fi was unreliable and very slow, often not working properly. Thankfully, we had purchased local SIM cards, so this wasn't a major issue for us. A more significant concern was the bathroom, where water leaked from the shower area, making the floor wet and very slippery. Lastly, the bed was not very comfortable and felt quite soft, causing us to sink in, which suggests it could benefit from an upgrade.

The room space is spacious, spotless, and quite cozy. The hotel is situated in the downtown and is close to pharmacies and grocery stores. Restaurants, nightclubs, etc. are all within walking distance. The hotel's restaurant is outstanding, and breakfast is included in the price of your stay. It's delicious and offers a wide selection of dishes. Additionally, the hotel offers complimentary airport transportation. Above all, though, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I had planned to stay for three nights but extended my stay to eight nights. One of the greatest hotels I have ever stayed at in my many years of traveling is Sabon Hotel, and I will most certainly stay there again when I return to Addis Ababa.

Very clean, quiet, and well-equipped hotel with friendly staff. Excellent, hot full breakfast, with lots of variety. Only about 10 minutes to or from the airport with 24 hour shuttle (arrange in advance if you can for night or early morning). Shuttle also helped me get around town to finalize some travel planning. Very nice!

Only issue was that airport shuttle did not wait for us on arrival despite arranging in advance. Not usually an issue but you simply MUST get an Ethiopian eSIM to make any calls in Ethiopian (I.e., America phones won’t usually work even with an international plan). Friendly attendant at the airport shuttle area called the hotel once the shuttle did not arrive.

This property is one of its kind in the capital Addis Ababa. It’s super quiet, clean, and staff friendly. I have been traveling to Ethiopia 14 time a over 16 years and have been staying in multiple hotels including Golden Tulip; except for its location and Not So Great breakfast, Sabon exceeds every expectation and it is a place for a traveler who needs a quiet time to rejuvenate and clean space for your soul.

A reliable and high-speed internet connection, characterized by exceptional cleanliness, tranquility, and unwavering friendliness.

The staff are excellent. Very polite and courteous and friendly. They are very helpful too, and would call me a cab everyday. I also liked the fact that the rooms are big and spacious. There are eateries around, but the hotel's restaurant also has great food.

The room could have been more brightly lit.

A spacious room, good food in the restaurant, really nice and friendly staff who are happy to help you with any requests. Free transfer to the airport even at 5 in the morning.

I don't know if it is really a drawback, but it was impossible to pay for the room in advance.

The location is very good, 5 min drive from the airport, 5 min walk to the 2000 Habesha Cultural Restaurant. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. The manager organized for us a car with a driver at a reasonable price to take us around the city for a whole day.

We took the apartment, but the kitchen was not equipped at all: there was no plates, cutlery, glasses.

Top notch hospitality. I felt really welcomed by all the staff. Excellent location in Bole. It’s very close to shops, bars, restaurants, etc.

Not every room has an A/C. This could be an issue during the summer. However, I spoke the front desk and they were able to provide me an A/C room when I requested it.

I had the pleasure of staying at this esteemed hotel for a delightful duration of six days in the month of October, 2023. It proved to be an oasis of tranquility, providing me with a most agreeable sojourn. Situated in the heart of the city, this establishment obviates the need for public transportation, as one can conveniently traverse the vicinity on foot. The hotel staff, exemplifying the epitome of hospitality, extended their warmest welcome from the moment of our arrival at the airport to our departure. In particular, I must commend a gracious lady named Kidest, the esteemed Receptionist, whose countenance radiated warmth and whose assistance was invaluable. It is my firm belief that anyone fortunate enough to experience the hospitality of this hotel will forever cherish the memories forged within its walls.
