Hotels Near Century Building | Gelan Condominium | ሴንቸሪ ህንጻ | ገላን ኮንዶሚኒየም in Addis Ababa

Addis Chinese Hotel has a ceiling and complete facilities. You can basically meet all your needs without leaving home. The room type depends on the orientation and configuration. The facilities are relatively new. The hotel has all Chinese food. The restaurants on the first and second floors include private rooms. There is a Chinese spa and a gymnasium on the roof You can overlook the city of Addis, and there is a football field next to it to watch live games.

The staff and management are very cordial and supportive.

The sanitary conditions in Africa are already very good. For Chinese tourists, lack of hot water is a big problem. The location is very good, close to the road and close to the tourist check-in point.

I stayed here for almost a month. First week experience was unfortunate as I had to do quarantine for 7 days and the room was uncomfortable. It wasn’t as clean as it could have been at all. The window had no light which made it very hard to work online, especially when you have meetings and daily video meetings. The room was very very cold and no heaters. Some of the lamps didn’t work either, the lightning could be improved. This affected my work The construction opposite the window was quite creepy as it stole all the natural light away and it looks quite scary. During the first week, I was told different information by different staff which was confusing. Unfortunately my COVID results were late, which had me ending up extending my stay for future two days. However the staff did apologise and the manager personally contacted me few times. After the quarantine, I was moved into a much better and cleaner room, which allowed me to work online with good natural light and amenities in the room. Overall the staff was friendly, I could see the chefs cooking with hygiene measures and everyone practiced food hygiene , washing hands etc. Suggestions : I had someone call me at midnight during my first 7 days to say the laundry was ready. It freaked me out as the timing is unacceptable to call a guest at that time. Perhaps better training should be in place. Once I wanted to have a drink in the restaurant/bar and the waiter told me I should drink in my room. Later I saw other people drink in the bar. They should communicate with each other or with the manager to see what’s allowed or not. Staff should communicate more with each other for better understanding so they can inform customers the same thing and not different. The staff should understand that sometimes If the customer feels distressed, you need to acknowledge that and not excuse it. Perhaps because of COVID the rest of the hotel amenities were closed as I was told the bar on 9th floor is closed, there is no spa, the jewellery and gift shop was shut, the gym was not accessible. The location is in perfect location in Bole, close to restaurants and cafes. There is Infiniti cafe right next to the hotel which is great. Overall, I do think the staff were friendly and helpful and tried to help when they could. Some of the staff were extra kind and really reassuring such as one the staff in front desk who helped me change to the new room and directed me to Edna mall and helped with transport etc. Some of the wait staff were really friendly and always asked how I was and how my day was which was sweet and kind. The hotel is safe and secure with security measures. The manager also checked in few times and personally dropped me off to the airport which was reassuring and kind of him. I am hoping to come back soon and I will stay here again when I return to Addis .

Made to feel welcome by the helpful reception staff. Rooms and beds were very comfortable and plenty of hot water and tea making facilities in the rooms. Do take earplugs if you are a light sleeper as local dogs do bark during the night. Good variety of food for breakfast and the omelettes were great. Evening meal service was slow as short of staff, although we were informed as we went in for dinner. The food was ok but not brilliant. We didn't use the spa or gym but they did look good. Overall, a good stay in Addis Ababa and very close to the airport.

The hotel general look is very nice: elegant and modern. Still, the paid amount does not correspond to the quality you get. Especially the staff is corteous, but with limited capacity. Breakfast, if you don't want to have spicy and oily Ethiopian food in the morning, is very limited. Very few options, and many of them are not refilled when over (e.g. chocolate croissant and bread). Also the cooking of eggs needs serious improvements: no salt and pepper, no toasted bread, and poached eggs are simply uneatable. The room was small, but nicely furnished and clean. The bathroom was quite spaceous. However, no airdryer is provided by default; we asked for one and we only got it after 30 (!) minutes... Bathroom gratuities were provided upon arrival, but then were always forgotten; it took us a while to be understood and given again, after finding one of the few English speakers there. In addition, the room is not sound-proof, and we could not sleep due to a mass happening just in front of the hotel in the middle of the night (and for like 3 hours, from 3 to 6 am...). Restaurants looked good, but were also quite overpriced for the Ethiopian standards (yes, also compared to other high-end ones in town). Staff was kind and English-speaking. Lastly, I am still to understand the reason why I was asked to block an amount corresponding to EUR 800 on my credit card upon arrival...sounded quite disproportionate, to my taste.

Addis is not the easiest city to navigate so your hotel needs to be an oasis. This is not a luxury hotel but a perfectly serviceable hotel you will come to appreciate. The rooms are decent size and beds comfortable. Television shows a coupld of English channels. The breakfast includes a vareity of fresh fruits and vegetables and hot dishes mostly Indian and Middle Eastern. We found a couple of the staff to be particularly helpful. Note that the hotel lists itself as being on Mickey Leland St. but it is set off from there. The Leland name appears to be newish so cab drivers sometimes have trouble finding it--there's a local app for cabs that is helpful. There are many restaurants surrounding this hotel and several ice cream/gelato spots. We happened to stay in three different rooms--higher is better--but the design of the bathroom plumbing connects the shower through an under-fllor pipe with a cleanout valve. In some rooms there is a smell from that arrangement. There also does not appear to be heating and cooling in the rooms-surprisingly that wasn't a problem. Overall, a reasonably priced good choice.

I have come here from India. It is so called *Grand international* hotel but there is no international food. Not even rice, dals etc. Indians will suffer a lot if they choose this hotel for their stay.
