Bole Ambassador Hotel Reviews

OMG. What a dump! Ethiopian airline brought me to Addis 2 hours late and I just missed the connection. Next flight to my destination tomorrow morning. As their own new hotel was full, they gave me a voucher for Ambassador hotel. When I arrived where the shuttles are, the Ambassador bus had just left. After waiting, unsuccessfully ,for half an hour for its return, I decided to walk to the hotel. When I arrived, I was told that the hotel was fully booked out and that was communicated to Ethiopian Airlines the previous day. After some discussion, they gave me a room and I was set back 20-30 years. While the room was spacious, everything, including the bathroom, was completely run down. The shower head fell down by looking at it, out of 3 light switches one worked etc. I didn’t have the energy to return to the airport and ask for a different hotel. When I went for dinner, included, I was presented the choice of beef with rice or fish with rice. I assessed the fish as the smaller risk. However, there is no wine or beer. Just water. It’s a non alcoholic hotel.
