We spent several weeks at the Sidama Lodge and could have stayed longer! The staff were extremely kind, helpful and generous. This is what really made our stay fantastic. The rooms were very clean and the cleaning ladies were always very polite and respectful of our privacy if we were working in the room during the day. It was good... More

We came to Addis to adopt our daughter. This was obviously a very traumatic time for us, with constant visits to the orphanage and to the courts after first getting approval at home. Getting a place to stay which is comfortable, clean and sympathetic is essential and that is what we found at Sidama Lodge. The staff were brilliant and... More

I stayed in Sidama Lodge during my last visit to Ethiopia after a long time. I originally come from outside Addis Ababa and did not have family in town. My choice was to have a quite time and privacy during this trip. Sidama Lodge with the peaceful setting, beautiful rooms, great service, and friendly staff made me feel at home... More

Then on the third night he downgraded me to a single room (301) on the third floor but still charged the same price. No amount of discussion the next day convinced him that he was "sneaky" so I left and... More

I stayed in Sidama Lodge while on business in Addis. I was there for the rainy season in July and August which is not a great time to visit Ethiopia! Plenty of rain and rather cool at times. I checked the Sidama Lodge on the Trip Advisor website and with the positive reviews decided to make a booking. The first... More

The Sidama Lodge is a great hotel!! All the staff are so friendly and are ready to help with whatever you needed. The location is EXCELLENT- Right by Bole.

This is an excellent location - close to the airport and a great central point (off Bole Road) from which to visit many parts of Addis. The rooms are spacious and very clean and the complementary breakfast brought to the bedroom makes a great start to the day. The staff are friendly and efficient. I particularly enjoyed the option of... More
