I have stayed at this hotel before. This time there was a cockroach on one of the pillows and I had to kill it so I could sleep. I mentioned to the front desk when I checked out and they barely acknowledged me.

The staff could not try harder to ignore the guests. I was there with another couple that stayed there. Horrible experience for both of us.

Overall I would not stay here again. Some of the staff are lovely but others are unhelpful and look out upon if you ask for something. At the end of our stay they tried to make us pay for an extra day because there was a mixup on their end with Expedia. Their behavior was unprofessional and they unapologetically delayed is by half an hour, despite the fact that we could show a confirmation for having paid the complete amount. Also the floors in the room look like they’ve never been vaccuumed ever.

Nice staff decent breakfast. Good though compatatively pricey Indian restaurant. Okay room but could use a refresh. 15 min from airport in relatively lively area Free airport shuttle.

I chose to stay in the hotel because I have family and friends that live in the area. I know the neighborhood well so I was prepared for the noise level so it did not bother me much, The staff at this hotel work very hard at making your stay pleasant. The Internet access was much better compared to my last stay about 6 month ago. The rooms are a bit run down but clean, the shower in my room wasn't functional so I had to use the one at the GYM on the 8th floor. Overall you can get much better value for your money if you stay somewhere else but for me the convenience of staying in the neighborhood was worth it. I can't say enough good things about the staff, from the security guards, Front Desk, Room service etc, they all work very hard to make everyone happy.

The Internet is, as expected in Addis, horrible. Its free, but you can barely read your email. The Indian restaurant downstairs is amazing however.

We travelled to Ethiopia on a business visit stayed in this hotel for almost 7 nights, its a good property in a good location. some road constructions are going nearby which made little bit uncomfort for the travel but it may get completed in couple of months. Everything like Banks, Grocery, taxi services are handy. Even the hotel do Airport pickup and drop free of cost. They provide complementary Sauna and steam which is very good. Indian restaurant serves Indian food it is not that tasty, but ok in Ethiopia. Breakfast really good with varieties of foods, Fruits, juices, Indian food etc. Its a good hotel for the business traveller.

The hotel is in a good location if you are there on business. If you are with a loved one it is not so good. As the hotel has no grounds or gardens to walk through or swimming pool to laze around.

it was a great stay. Just that because the weather was hot, the room would have benefited from air-conditioning.

I stayed in the premier deluxe room. The room was comfortable however, the shower didnt have pressure. The worst was the wardrobe only had hanging facility and there was no place to keep my cloths. Lights are less. The room on the street side is better as the backside there is always noise if school n loudspeaker.

I stayed at the hotel for 4 night. I was on a business trip. The hotel is clean and the stuff is freindly. The street where it is on is a bit noisy at night. So you might ask for a room away from the street. All in all the price/value ratio is good.
1.5 / 5.0
The location is good, not far from the international airport. Usually, taxi drivers know the directions. The two restaurants are good. The Indian one is visited by people not residing at the hotel, which is already a good sign. The airport shuttle bus is free and frequent. The rooms are ok.

I have read a few whinging reviews of this hotel. I work with a govt in the ME and frequently stay in Crowne Plaza/ Hilton etc, so can compare from ***** star to zero. Sure, Dreamliner looks a little tired and could do with an uplift - new carpets?, but for the money it is okay and better value than similar in Addis. I think **** is ambitious, more like ***, but even so the cost is ok. Airport transfers - prompt and helpful, certainly take the stress out of arrival.The location is not great, but not bad once you get to know Addis. One hundred birr will get you to anywhere on Churchill in a taxi - they will ask far more but crumble as soon as you start walking... or walk to Bole Rd and ride for a few birr on a mini or yellow bus.There is a govt shop in the post office on Churchill where you can get souvenirs ... limited range but saves haggling with vendors.To do:1. Entoto - take minibuses up the hill (St Mary's/Summer Palace) and walk down. Even the ladies who carry the fire wood are happy - especially if you donate Tenbr to the cause.2. Churches - many. St George near Piassa is the main one, but check up on the opening times.3. Addis Restaurant - North of Piassa. It is the old palace - quaint with local buffet and Tetch ... a sort of honey beer / mead.4. Meta beer distribution store - near Temoca cafe. Elevenbr/bottle or Sat/Sun are "cloudy beer" days!5. National museum - to see Lucy and previous kin6. Garden above Meskel square7. China bar

I was there for 3 days... The door of the shower was hardly moving... Took 2 days to fix it. The fridg didn't work.. Took 2 times to ask for fixing. Breakfast is rather poor. On arrival, I got a room that was less then ordered. After complaining.. I got the right one. The staff is nice and polite, but too many small problems. They couldn't charge my master card for an hour... Suggested to withdraw cash from an bank machine... A good thing is, they offer a free lift to and from airport.

Nice modern hotel with a desk at the airport from where you have a free shuttle to the hotel. The hotel has WiFi in the lobby. Staff is very friendly. The street of the hotel has left and right a few small bars and convenience stores. A bank is nearby as well (bring passport if foreigner for changing money).

We stayed at the Dream Liner in March and enjoyed it very much. The public places are lovely, soothing, and the staff is wonderful. Everyone was very helpful and personable. The rooms were actually very nice and clean but the carpets need some very serious attention. They stink in certain rooms and should all be taken away. Why use carpets at all? This being said, I would certainly return.

The Dreamliner hotel is basically a 2 / 3 star hotel. There is no A/C and the rooms are small with very sparse furnishings. There is a shanty nightclub next to the hotel with loud music that goes on until 5AM - so earplugs are essential as the noise can be heard through the windows.
The bathroom is tiny and smelly (leaking sewer gases) - so I kept it locked with the exhaust fan on and with some water running. The mattress is rock hard (maybe good for some folks) and other amenities are of the budget quality. I was glad to only spend one night (really a few hours as I had an early morning flight) at this hotel

The hotel is nice and secure so safety should not be a concern due to the fact that the hotel provide a great deal of security. Outside the hotel gates the city isn't too appealing. If your room is on the front side of the hotel you can see a bit of the city (which isn't touristic one bit). If you are looking to get out into the city life of addis then the hotel puts you in a great place to walk around to lots of shops. Breakfast was ok. The staff there are very helpful and they will do whatever it takes to keep you happy and reserved in the hotel. The lounge on the top floor is great. Nice and quiet and the waitors are very attentive to what you like. English is spoken very well within the hotel as well. The internet is 24hrs with good speed. Hotel was quite cheap and very flexible regarding changing rooms if need be. The first room I was in the bed was hard but I requested a better room with a softer mattress and they made the changes quick. Great customer service overall.
