8/10 Very good

Decent nothing special.
Max, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

There are actually two hotel buildings. The place can get crowded and eating options can be limited (unless eating is based on drinking beer). Breakfast is excellent, almost worth skipping a meal.

I absolutely love staying at Skylight Hotel! Even during layovers, I choose to stay there at my own expense because the level of service, comfort, and luxury is simply unmatched.
Adesola, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It's close to the airport, so convenient, but the rooms need an upgrade. The tub in the bathroom leaked all over the floor, and the restaurants are OK. At least there is a variety. The rooms are comfortable, and soundproof, which is nice. Check in takes forever, and the internet code they give you does not work. So OK, but people choose for the convenience to get to the airport.

Tsion, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel with pretensions of being world class

The hotel itself is fine and there are some nice staff, but they really need to work with some of the others who were quite rude and not helpful. They also sometimes would give contradicting information. One day we were told to go to breakfast in a certain restaurant and the next day when we went there they said it was "only for business class" It is listed as pet friendly - but when I got there they tried to charge me double what is on the hotels.com website (and only agreed to the advertised price when I showed them the website) Also as a pet friendly hotel, I was told I couldn't let my dog walk across the lobby (on a leash heading back up to our room) - quite rudely. Another time I was carrying him back into the hotel and was told "you can't bring it in here" before anyone even asked if I was a guest. As I said, some of the staff are very nice and helpful, but others, especially with the security team, really need some skills, attitude, and how to deal with guests upgrading

10/10 Exceptional

It was a very nice experience :)
Dagim, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is conveniently located near airport but also other offices as Addis expanded. Rooms are superb as is Italian restaurant, and modestly priced. Public areas a bit crowded with layover passengers but still good service.
