Decent Hotel in Sleazy Area

We had a good stay at the Wudasie Hotel, but we were warned by a number of locals that it is somewhat of a Red Light District at night. It is NOT the hotel's fault, and we never felt threatened in the hotel, but it was highly advised that we not walk around at night. There was a very sleazy club next door, and quite a lot of music noise at night (I use white noise and ear plugs so wasn't bothered much). The food at the hotel is GREAT! It was a really good transition for us coming from the USA and wanting to have safe food to fall back on. Their cooks are excellent (it's a small, humble kitchen with a basic menu which we enjoyed very much).

Pros and Cons

I had the misfortune of having my cellphone stolen while walking near Meskel Square. The staff, especially the night manager, and several day employees were wonderful helping me deal with a very unpleasant situation. The rooms at Wudasie are clean, functional, beds are comfortable, plenty of hot water , but dogs barking every night from 10 until 1 or 2 was annoying. Neighborhood okay..

Best Hotel in Addis Ababa

I checked-in with lower expectation, as I had tried most the top hotels in Addis Ababa & always had issues despite paying much more money on the rooms & the brand. This hotel is a small hotel type, simple yet beautiful Ethiopian themed design. The bath tub fills up with extremely hot water which is hard to find in most hotels, finally the price was good for Addis Ababa standards. Staff are excellent...highly recommended
