GT Guest House & Apartments

Extremely clean. The employees are very friendly and the breakfast is delicious.

Lee is a very welcoming and knowledgable host. I can't recommend this place enough. I booked a single room and was upgraded to a double room with private bath for no additional cost. The free airport pick-up and drop-off are a nice plus! Thanks, Lee, for making my short stay in Addis very sweet.

Management and staff are extremely friendly and caring. “Master bedrooms“ large and well furnished. For each 3 rooms or so, there is one kitchen appropriately equipped. Supply with water, electricity and internet as good as it is provided from the external.service providers. Great place to stay

Our family stayed at the GT guest House for a week during our first trip back to Ethiopia in 10 years, and it was wonderful. Lee and her staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. They kept us stocked with bottled water, pop, and beer, and also served coffee when we had a big group of family members over for dinner. They helped us order dinner from nearby restaurants when we didn’t feel like going out. They were so friendly and welcoming that we felt like we were staying with old friends. The breakfasts are included, and all I can say is WOW. Amazing quality and selection, and brought to your suite. The food was freshly prepared and so delicious! Crepes, pancakes, French toast, eggs, and fruit salad were some of the breakfast items. They even used teff to make gluten free options for my husband who’s allergic to gluten. Each day some local breakfast food item was included, and it was fun to try something different along with food we were used to. And of course - the coffee! Amazing. We stayed in the 3 bedroom suite which was very clean, comfortable, and had more than enough room for our family and visitors. The beds were comfortable with plenty of warm bedding for the cool rainy season. The showers have shower curtains and reliable hot water (not something I found during our past visit elsewhere in Addis). If the power happens to go out, they also have a generator. The WiFi is reliable, but not super fast - I don’t think you’d be able to stream movies etc., although we didn’t try. The kitchen had a stove, sink, good sized fridge, microwave and tea kettle, so we had everything we needed to cook at home. The location is a couple of blocks from a light rail stop, shops, and restaurants so you don’t need to rely on a car. It’s near the center of the city so it’s easy access to all other neighborhoods and the airport. The guest house has stairs and no elevator but Lee’s staff carried our luggage to and from our 2nd floor room when we arrived and left, which made for easy check in and out. FYI, an elevated roadway is being constructed next to the guest house so there may be construction noise in the near future. Check with Lee if you have questions. I highly recommend staying at this guest house. We will definitely be back!
