This is a wonderful place, a big spacious mansion in a leafy well-heeled district of Addis Ababa -- Bole --, converted to a hostel, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Good kitchen for cooking, meals also available at very reasonable prices.

Great location where you have easy access to lot busses and not too far from markets. Staff were friendly and nice and the atmosphere of the place was great. WiFi works fine but remember to get the connection for each floor and I felt safe.

The staff are great. They were more than helpful to book tours, etc. and accommodated last minute changes for us to switch to a private room. The facility was clean and there are great common areas to meet other travelers. The location is close...
