亞的斯亞貝巴萬豪行政公寓

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Marriott Executive Apartments. The staff were professional and welcoming, the room very comfortable and the breakfast spread was really good with lots of choice.  The location is good, easy to get to from the airport using the Ride app and then centrally located for sightseeing. We didn't use the kitchen in our room, but it seemed to have everything in it. Some of the fixtures in the bathroom (particularly the shower) were dated and could use an upgrade but it didn't bother us. Overall a great choice for Addis visits.

I spent three pleasant months in Marriott Addis in early 2024. Fancy and well-furnished rooms, staffed with trained and responsible people. I love the taste of their food which has a natural flavour. But it may not be a perfect place for someone who wants to enjoy Ethiopian traditional meals. The chefs and waiters were exceptionally friendly (forgot to mention their names). However, there were moments that I encountered different treatments around the security check, reception and restaurant. I stayed in the hotel with a foreign national (European) colleague who has been my assistant in our field work in Ethiopia. While we were together, my colleague was getting all the attention who was treated better than me in many circumsances including at the restaurant, reception and security. Those moments have shown me the whole picture of my people who trust and respect foreigners than their own brothers/sisters. This might be difficult to admit but it is what it is. I would take this as a cultural thing and is not related with this particular hotel. And I see all the other side of the hotel. I can't wait to go again and again.
