Good Points : 1. Very Good Location. 2. Cheap 3. Good cafes and eating places in walking distance. Bad Things: 1. Room Sizes 2. Service Maybe good for a day or two's trip. Its not a place where you would like to spend the weekends

This place is clean. That is my only positive thing to say. Airport pick up did not happen and no apology or explanation. Dark and dingy room. Way overpriced for what you get. The only positive thing (and for that the hotel gets no plaudits) is that the very fine Indian restaurant (Sangam?) is just across the road. Reccomendation: Pay... More

The hotel is about 5 minutes drive from the airport on Africa Avenue. You can walk to the main attraction of the city. Their rate starts around $45.00 if you're using azebot.com to make your online reservation. You have to make sure you make your reservation ahead to get the discount though.

I enjoyed staying in this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel is clean and quite in the middle of Addis Ababa "Bole Road". You can feel very safe in this hotel and you will always find a staff who wants to accommodate your requests with a smiley face. At the same time, don't expect to find a luxurious rooms.

Damu is certainly doing its best to get everything right, but at the moment for every plus there is also a negative. My airport pickup did not arrive, and no one at the hotel apologised for this - not great when arriving at 1 a.m. Noise is a real problem with car alarms, noisy guests and blaring bar music from...

The Damu Hotel is a pleasant find in the heart of Addis Ababa -- conveniently located off Bole Road, on a quiet side street. The first thing you'll notice is how the staff seem genuinely pleased to have you as their guest. Everything is no problem -- whether it's arranging for an earlier breakfast (our group had many early starts,... More

We ended up staying at Damu after we had to escape from our guest house. The rooms are not the biggest or fanciest (no kettle my mum was very disappointed with!) But the staff were always bringing up cups of tea or coffee for us. We had to change room 3 times becasue of leaks or shower not working in... More

I was extremely pleased with my time spent in the Damu hotel. I had never been abroad before and upon arrival I found the staff in the Damu to be extremely welcoming and very helpful. My room was clean and had a lovely balcony which allowed me to look out and around Addis. The restaurant serves delicious food, and again... More
