Incompetent
An awful start to my stay at the hotel and arrival in Ethiopia They left me stranded at the airport at night for hours despite me contacting them on 4 occasions prior to my arrival. and hotels.com contacted them twice too l when I had zero reply on the airport shuttle. They failed to respond or provide this and when you don’t know the language and your phone doesn’t work in this country - as i explained to them - it leaves you in a very vulnerable position. When I wanted to leave after several other things not working the hotel refused to refund me as unfortunately I paid upfront. Hotels.com also extremely unhelpful

We really valued our stay at the Ghion Hotel. The rates were excellent, the staff are lovely and it's a real piece of Ethiopian history. The African Jazz Village is top notch and home to the timeless Father of Ethiopian Jazz, Dr. Mulatu Astateke. Meals were copious and delicious - Breakfast is free! We are used to staying at more modern (read: updated) luxurious places but I'd go back for the charm, people and music.

The garden area is really good, spacious and well kept with ample security. The staff are very polite and helpful. The T.V situation is poor and needs attention. There are no Tea or coffee making facilities and some of the rooms are void of a fridge. I found the hotel good value for money and will definately try to rebook.

The property needs a lot of work to bring it up to scratch. For example no water came out when you turn on the hot water. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful

They charged my credit card for no reason and declined to refund. I called so many times but nobody willing to refund. They offered reimbursement in kind. That being said the breakfast is very good and they have a beautiful compound. It has a big potential if they have a good management.
