Water Front Hotel

Overall excellent value. The washrooms are amazing, the bed very comfortable and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The location is ideal, close enough to water, and there are bars and restaurants within walking distance. There is also a market close by where you can bargain for deals on clothes and gifts. We were only tourists in the hotel as it is fairly new. I would highly recommend booking this hotel before it gets popular and the prices go up.

Spacious room with a balcony and nicely decorated. Nice bathroom with hot water. Food was good with an outdoor eating area overlooking the street

The room is so clean and we got great customer service

A lovely hotel with clean rooms and helpful staff.

The location on the map is either not correct or there are two locations. The “Water Front Hotel” I am reviewing is on Arba Meter Road, just west of University Road and just east of Addis Amba Hotel. Not reviewing the rooms, etc., but I am reviewing the restaurant - for what it is. Following the long Orthodox Lent, the meat on the menu is finally being served. Until now I would say the salads are very good, the bread isn’t bad, and the juices (purée more like) are tasty. Yesterday I was able to expand into those animal proteins and very much enjoyed my “lamb stew” which was spiced just right. The stew was brought to table in a little pot and spooned onto my plate of ingiera. I took a pleasantly long walk afterwards feeling very satisfied. One of my colleagues who had tired of the Addis Amba breakfast buffet went there several times for their continental breakfast and returned satisfied to drink coffee with us. We usually opt-out of meals at our hotel to dine with ease at Waterfront, usually on their patio. Sure, we’re also trying local eateries, but if you’re an international traveler, you’ll feel fine to dine here.
