Kefetew Guesthouse is a soulful place. Beyond all my expectations! Genet, our hostess, is full of heart and a wonderful cook. I arrived tired, dehydrated, and with a cold, I left healed and invigorated. The place itself is a safe haven, away from the hustle and bustle of the outside, yet conveniently located next to a food stall, multiple restaurants and the supermarket. The decor is rustic in the best of sense, the bed is incredibly comfy, the shower is hot and the hospitality exceptional and unmatched! Many guests are return guests and I understand why. A very homey stay, like visiting family. I hope to be back.

The hospitality of the guest lady and her house assistant, the delicious food made with great care and proud, the nice conversations, the authentic-stylish interior...

We stayed at Kefetew Guest House as part of our vacation in Addis and had a great and memorable time. The owner lovingly takes care of her guests and is also a great cook. Since she knew I was from Germany and liked potatoes, there were potato dishes every day that were so deliciously prepared and seasoned that I liked them better than many places in Germany. The hostess is also very entertaining and helpful. She has experienced a lot and likes to tell about her life, always with a laugh. When I got stomach problems on the second day due to the change of food, she took loving care of me. She brought fresh fruit and baked light meals for my recovery. The amenities at Kefetew Guest House also include five dogs (love to Desta!) who always provide the best entertainment. We even had the honor of taking an excursion by car through Addis in animal company. Last but not least, the hostess showed us many things in Addis that we would not have discovered without her and had even more recommendations for us, e.g. which museums are worth seeing and where we can get good souvenirs. She made our vacation an unforgettable experience and we would choose Kefetew Guest House again anytime. It made our vacation a very personal and social experience, which we certainly would not have had in a hotel in this form.

During our stay, there were intermittent problems with the hot water. However, the bathrooms are being renovated anyway and this is probably a problem of the past.

The owner of the house and the stuff is very kind and helpful. Very big room. Very good food.

The distance from center is quite big but the area is quite.

Genet was an amazing hostess!

hot water was a bit finicky
