8/10 Very Good

The staff are friendly. The property is safe and clean. It is good value for the money. Concerning the VIP amenities, it was not offered upon my arrival, but the day after. I was offered a room upgrade for the second night, but I had only booked the second night because I had an evening flight, so I did utilize the upgrade.

8/10 Very Good

In dark side street but close to main road. Friendly hotel with bar and OK breakfast. Rooms old fashioned and a little damp feeling (in the rainy season) and some noise issues, but mostly a tranquil shelter in a lively and potentially chaotic-feeling city. Close to airport and excellent free pickup and dropoff.

2 days in Addis
The Lobelia was a great choice. They provided breakfast every day, picked me up from the airport, and took me back. It is close to the airport and has everything you need nearby. Shops, restaurants, and transportation are all within walking distance. My room was very large with good Wi-Fi. I would return again if I travel to Addis Ababa. The staff were very nice and helpful.

The staff is super nice. But they didn’t give me the free beverage that is listed. Hotel is old and could use some updating. There is no AC, so keep that in mind as Addis can be quite hot. The hotel is close to main road but in back, so it is quiet. Convenient as close to airport

10/10 Exceptional

Landing in Ethiopia, I had no idea what to expect...I was returning to the U.S. from a few months in South Africa on Ethiopian Airlines and, on a whim, booked one night in Addis and one in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire as it was permitted in my itinerary. I'm so, so glad that I did! I'm even looking at options to be able to work in Addis, as I found the diversity, history, and energy of the city/nation to be so compelling. After just mentioning to the staff at Hotel Lobelia my itinerary and that I was keen on local recommendations for 20 hours in Addis, the hotel immediately booked a convenient and easy-to-find shuttle driver for me both directions as well as introduced me to Abay, a tour guide with whom I was fortunate to spend the evening and the following morning. Abay was amenable to my photographic and sight-seeing goals, and we hit the city hard in the evening and the following morning....indeed it was a whirlwind of a trip that left such an impression on me. The hotel room was modest but so pleasant and had everything I needed. Also I appreciated that the bar/coffee area downstairs is open 24/7 if you need a bottle of water or a cup of Joe at 5 a.m. as I did to keep the street photography flowing. Location couldn't be beat, either. A trivial drive (5 min? 10 min?) from the airport. Highly recommended to those on a layover like I was, or looking for a beautiful base on their way into or out of Ethiopia! Ameseginalehu, Hotel Lobelia and Abay! I'll be back!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel; the staff were very friendly and helpful, and all my correspondence with the hotel was answered promptly. The hotel is located close to the airport, and the shuttle bus service to and from the airport is reliable. Although the Hotel Lobelia is not a 5-star hotel and does not aim to be, it provides great value for money.
