missingWrote a review on Dec 10budget staylocal decorpoor management
Decent overall experience for a budget stay. The unique offerings are nice touches, particularly in the rooms and furnishings that reflected local decor.
Shuttle service is unreliable. arrival at 6 am can lead to frustrating waits for pick-up. Early check-in is poorly managed, with rooms not ready for hours. The first room available was cramped, dark, and lacked basic amenities like consistent hot water or a properly sized toilet seat. Dusty floors and broken mirrors add to an unkempt feel. Mismanagement of payment methods and overpriced breakfast options highlighted issues with value. No working safe provided despite requests, leaving valuables unsecured. Don't be misled by promotional pictures. expect basic accommodations.

9/10
From the jump, the staff treated us like fam, always smiley and ready to help. Breakfast spread was dope—like mad choices every morning. Our family suite was spacious, clean, and comfy. Just wish that street noise outside wasn’t a thing, but they said it'll be fixed soon. Felt real good there, ya know?

I had a delightful stay at The Grand Palace Hotel. The courteous staff made every effort to ensure my comfort, always greeting me with smiles. I particularly enjoyed the varied breakfast buffet, including delicious traditional Ethiopian dishes, which set a wonderful tone for my day.
Street noise at times.

the shower drained soooo slowly, I had to kick water into the drain, like really? also, I asked for a late checkout, and they made a fuss and said there were guests waiting, how ‘distinguished’ of them! I almost thought of giving a good review, but the entire experience was just too much, I certainly expected better.

I had an amazing time at this hotel! The breakfast buffet was fantastic, especially the Ethiopian dishes. However, my room was a bit dark with a small window. I'd definitely return!
