I stayed here exactly a year ago, and I waited this long because I wanted to see if my opinion might soften over time. It has not. I asked to stay there a set number of days and of course was out the money when I opted to move out early. I hadn't paid ahead, but she argued she had... More

The Ethiocomfort guesthouse was a great first place to stay in Addis Ababa. I stayed in Addis while waiting for my newly adopted daughter's visa, we lived in Addis for 10 weeks. We stayed at Ethiocomfort for the first 4.5 weeks. It was reasonably clean and the staff were very friendly. The woman who runs the guesthouse is definitely a... More

We were worried about finding our way around on our trip to Ethiopia, not speaking Amharic well. EthioComfort rented us a sim card for our telephone, made us 3 meals a day when we requested, and helped us see the city, museums, and do some shopping! We had a wonderful time with their family, and the children were so much... More

My husband and I stayed at EthioComfort for a week and a half when we were in town on business and it was fantastic. Great food, and Tsebay will go out of her way to help you with whatever your needs are. The rooms are very much like a bed and breakfast, and breakfast is included in your stay. Families... More

there is everything around this place, you could stay here and walk to everything you possibly could need. internet, cafe's, restaurants, pizza, shopping, grocery stores, taxi's, etc. the reality is that everything in addis is a bit of a drive. if you want to see stuff, you have to get a driver, which can be supplied by the guesthouse, or...

Our group of 3 stayed here last week. I was very impressed with the 'personal' service that is provided. They really do care for their guests well-being. Unfortunately, we stayed in building #2, and it was noisy with the dogs out back. The owner said it was a seasonal problem, and offered to move us to building #1. We moved... More

Wonderful place to stay for our adoption travel. We felt right at home- stayed in the master bedroom with attached bath and it was perfect. GREAT food, price, service, friendly, clean, wonderful. Cannot say enough good things about this place. It was our 1st time in Africa and it was perfect- would stay there again in a heart-beat.

Our experience at this guest house was wonderful. We (my husband and mother) stayed here for seven days for an adoption and Tsebay, the house owner, accomodated us in every way possible. We chose to stay on the third floor with three bedrooms, bath, and balcony--just beautiful. Rooms were very clean and sheets were changed frequently. There is a laundry... More

We had mixed feelings about this guesthouse. The room was very nice, and so was the bathroom. It's actually a small villa where guests stay with the family. The owner is very friendly. However, it is located in a suburb of Addis, further from the city centre than the airport. The area was somehow interesting as the new Ethiopian middle-class... More

We stayed with Tsebay at the Ethio Comfort for a week, and were immediately welcomed as part of her family. Nothing was too much trouble for Tsebay to organise for us during our stay. The Ethiopian food and coffee was fantastic, our room was spotless and airy, and we could sit in the lounge and garden plus use the internet... More
