The rooms at Zmama were nice! Overall, good hotel. Downsides were that there was very loud music outside on the street playing at all hours. Also, during the day we stayed there, we received three phone calls. I understand that during the day they wouldn't have known we were trying to sleep, but it was fairly disruptive. With that said, the staff was very friendly!

Good location and clean rooms ...no gym despite promises

Staff were great. We stayed on the 4th floor and as science tells you, heat rises! There is no AC, which is fine when I think you are on the lower floors and at night. I think the property should put fans in the rooms that are on the higher floors. The Internet was also good. What I am learning is that Ethiopia is Ethiopia, so the quality of the construction should not be compared internationally. So compared to Thailand for example, you can get high quality and low prices, while here in Ethiopia, you have relatively lower quality and higher prices. The other thing I have to mention is not with the hotel, but the street life outside the property. The streets are poorly paved and raw sewage is sometimes exposed, so becareful as you walk. There is a bit of dust blown around because it is windy and there are unpaved roads around.

It’s convenient, staff are accommodating, and the property is comfortable. Lovely hotel at a reasonable price!
