My colleague and I stayed at GT for 5 weeks, so it was essentially a home while in Addis. The large bedroom with bathroom inside on the third floor was my home and was perfect, with our essentially having a whole floor for ourselves it really is like a home more than a hotel. Lee and all the staff were... More

This was our 4th trip to Addis Ababa and by far the best place we've ever stayed or found. We stayed for 12 nights in February 2013. Lee and her family and staff are beyond amazing. Anything we needed, they provided. Lee made phone calls and translated for us several times - which we thought was above and beyond what... More

Of course any review on accommodation must be understood as a comparison to other places in Addis, not from a pre-conceived Western perception. So seeing electrical wires hanging out at power points everywhere is the norm, not the exception in that city. Having said that GT was a great place to stay, and the family running it will do all...

A hot breakfast, served at the time that suited us, clean and well functioning kitchen and bathrooms, but most of all the friendly staff, is... More

With a great manager (Lee) the GT guest House is the beat place in town! We enjoyed all of the family who welcomed us in loving arms.With their pure Ethiopian culture, money is secondary. At times we had quite busy schedules, with many visitors coming to meet us,but the GT guest house staff met to all of a needs without... More
