I often stay at this hotel when I'm transiting through Addis, but this time felt really special. I was welcomed at reception like an old friend by Wasihun and Hailegrorgis, and the check-in process was seamless. My room was in perfect condition and very comfortable. The food options for breakfast were better than before, and it's clear that all feedback is taken seriously. Well done to the Skylight team!

Clean room, nice views and friendly staff. Samrawit (manager) is very pleasant, along with the front desk persons. Steam room is nice (although sauna wasn't as hot as is should be), gym is adequate. Walking distance to most things in Bole. Good value for the money.

My family and I were vacationing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after a seven year hiatus. We were so happy to have chosen Vamos Addis Hotel for our two-week long stay. Abraham the GM and the entire staff were very warm and hospitable !!
Abraham and his entire staff went the extra mile and took such great care of us from customizing our daily food orders at the restaurant and room service, room cleaning, laundry, and information about different attractions and areas we wanted to visit in Addis....

Very nice hotel and welcoming staff. The room was clean and comfortable. Food was great too and the hotel was near the airport, which made my travel easy. Only problem I encountered was at the airport related with covid tests. Overall great experience.
