Great hostel

Great vibes, great people. The staff is super nice and helpful and for the price it's crazy how nice this place is. I'm really grateful cause I got to meet some wonderful people who I hope I'll be able to meet again in the future.

I guess bathrooms could have been cleaner and the water pressure a bit stronger, but still, they were okay, there was always paper and the water is hot

Clean, sociable and helpful hostel

This place is a proper old-school backpacker's hostel - clean, functional and sociable. Noni and Besa's advice and help planning the rest of the trip was invaluable. Would 100% stay again and recommend to anyone travelling to Addis, for work or pleasure.

It was pleasant.

Staffs are very helpful. They can also help to book flights. Room is quite spacious. Common area is comfortable. Kitchen is big. It’s a good place to meet other travelers.

Shower on the third floor is not strong. I was very cold while taking shower. There is some white ash consistently dropping from upper bed. Wifi is only available on the first floor.Laundry is too expensive like 10 dollars.

Bedbugs!!!!

빈대 Bedbugs ベッドの虫です Chinches de cama Percevejos 臭虫 위치 별로, 수압 너무 약하고, 매니저인지 직원인지 싸가지없음 절대 호스텔에서 베드버그가 나왔을리 없다며, 나보고 베드버그를 데리고 왔으니 꺼지라는 식으로 말하며 날 불청객 취급함 장기여행중 이렇게 불쾌한 경험은 처음임

un Lugar Sucio y FRÍO

La ubicación del hostel, y las personas que pude conocer ahí.

es un lugar sucio, de poco mantención de aseo, además tienen un perro que suele ladrar a los residentes, y si te descuidas, te podía morder como sí lo hizo con algunas personas que alojaron allí

I booked for dorm roof but I arrived at the property and it left with only top bed. I told them I don’t like it because

I like the art at the property. Is very calming and feels like home 🥰

青旅养了一条狗，那条狗很狂躁，一直对着我叫，青旅的人只是说不要担心，也不去管狗，而且一群欧美国家的人在打游戏声音特别大，但是等我和朋友一起唱歌的时候，却告诉我不要影响别人，

公共区域很好，厨房很大，客厅也很大

我住一楼，没水，网络也不好，位置不好，买吃喝都不方便

chill backpackers with potential for improvement

hostel where you can find likeminded travelers and adventurers of all ages. they relocated to this big house / villa only a few weeks ago and are still installing manny things. big rooms. quiet neighbourhood. hostel bar. common areas.

only two bathrooms incl. shower and toiletts for manny guests. bin wasn't emptied for three days. toilet paper wasn't often available so better to have your own. wifi didn't work reliably. kitchen often was a mess. they could definitely improve by making signs to wash your owm dishes instead of leaving them dirty. no pens/paper available to label the own food. overall abit chaotic and not well organized when i stayed there but maybe that's just because they relocated recently. hope they improve certain things because the place has a lot of potential.

Good

My private room was big, comfortable bed, good hot water. Staff was helpful when I could find them. Good location, cool dog.

It's a concrete building so sounds carry throughout the building. The common area furniture was the most uncomfortable I have experienced in 10 months of traveling through Africa. Please replace it!!

Very good

The place and the owners are nice and I met there awesome people. (Roberto from Sp/Finland)

As things which could be improved: lockers and the light in the common areas is too dim. There's also this "Solomon" near the hostel who will come to you speaking English and pretend he works in the "hotel" and will eventually try to convince you to pay a visit to those places where there are these students celebrating their graduation, they will order these overly expensive drinks at your expense ("honeywine") and you'll have a huge bill to pay. So just be careful. You can talk with people but beware of scammers, because of the bad economy it's on the growth. (Roberto from Sp/Finland)

good location in Addis, good atmosphere/crowd of travelers, and very helpful

Good location and great value. they were very flexible as plans changed due to circumstances outside of anyone’s control (i.e protests, political stuff). Beza is seriously helpful.
