Marriott Executive Apartments Addis Ababa suits travellers who want more space than a standard hotel room offers. The accommodation is a collection of apartments with full kitchens, living areas and city views, set on African Avenue in the Kirkos district near the centre of the capital. The kitchens include a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a stovetop, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, a coffee and tea maker and cookware, which makes longer stays, family trips and working visits much easier. A spa offers massages and a steam room, there is a Mediterranean restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a lobby lounge, pool bar and coffee shop complete the picture. Guests rate it highly overall, with cleanliness and staff and service scoring best.
Location and getting around
The apartments are on African Avenue in Kirkos, in the central part of Addis Ababa. Meskel Square is around a 13 minute walk, Africa Hall is a little farther and a light rail station is within a short walk, though most visitors will take a car for longer distances. Bole International Airport is about a 16 minute drive in normal traffic, and a 24-hour round-trip airport shuttle is offered for a charge, which is helpful for the many flights that arrive and leave at night.
The apartments
Choices include one-bedroom city view apartments of about 646 square feet, executive one-bedroom apartments of about 915 square feet and two-bedroom apartments of about 1,238 square feet. The larger options are a good fit for families or small groups who want separate sleeping areas and a place to cook. Free Wi-Fi is provided, and wired internet is available in the apartments, which suits remote working.
Who it suits
Longer stays, business travellers on assignment, families who want a kitchen and a living room, and anyone who prefers self-catering for some meals. The kitchens are a real advantage for simple breakfasts or for travellers with dietary needs. A swimming pool is not listed, so check this before you book if swimming matters to you.
Good to know
The daily buffet breakfast is available for a charge and is not included in every rate, so compare prices with and without it. Parking is free on site. Check-in starts at 3pm and check-out is before noon, with early check-in and late check-out available for a fee, subject to availability.
The minimum check-in age is 18. Staff can recommend restaurants and trustworthy drivers for day tours, and can help with a grocery run if you plan to cook. Long stays suit the layout well, because you can unpack, settle in and treat the apartment as a home base between museum days.
