Haile Grand Addis Ababa is a well-equipped mid-range hotel on Lamberet Square in the Yeka area, and it is shown with a property class of 4. It has 157 rooms, an outdoor pool with loungers, umbrellas and a poolside bar, a sauna or steam room, and spa services including body treatments and manicures. Two restaurants serve guests, and a free breakfast buffet is included. Practical extras include free parking, a free round-trip airport shuttle, a playground, a hair salon, an ATM and free in-room Wi-Fi with speeds above 100 Mbps. Rooms have air conditioning, safes, flat-screen televisions with satellite channels, electric kettles and desks. It is a popular option for travellers who want facilities and value, and it suits families because of the playground and family suites.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Yeka, in the north-eastern part of the city, about 19 minutes by car from Bole International Airport, and the free round-trip shuttle is handy. It is not within walking distance of the main museums, so expect to use a taxi, a ride-hail car or a hired driver for sightseeing. Traffic is the main factor, so build in extra time for the museums in the centre.
The rooms
The choice starts with Classic Rooms of about 318 square feet with queen, king or twin beds, then Premium Rooms of about 425 square feet, and moves up to a Premium Suite, a Grand Suite and a two-bedroom Family Suite of about 958 square feet. The two-bedroom Family Suite and the Presidential Suite of about 1,604 square feet are the largest options, and the family category is a good fit for parents with children.
Who it suits
Families, groups and travellers who like having a pool, a sauna and breakfast included in the price, and who are happy to travel to the sights. It is also useful for a stopover, because of the airport shuttle and the late check-in window, which runs until 11pm.
Good to know
The breakfast buffet is included, which helps with budgeting. Parking is free. Check-in starts at 2pm, with late arrivals possible during limited hours, and check-out is at noon. As the restaurants are not named on the page we read, ask the hotel about current dining options when you book.
