About The Residence Hotel Addis Ababa

A residential-style stay where rooms, amenities, and space shift the pace of Addis Ababa.

The Residence Hotel Addis Ababa leans toward a more residential experience, offering apartment-style accommodations rather than standard hotel layouts. Interiors are arranged with a focus on space and independence, featuring separate living areas, kitchenettes, and sleeping zones that make longer stays more practical. The design remains understated—clean lines, functional furniture, and a layout that prioritizes usability over decoration. Guests move through the property with ease, from private rooms to shared areas that maintain a quieter, less crowded atmosphere. Wi-Fi supports both work and daily routines, while dining is either self-managed or handled through nearby options. Amenities here are less about variety and more about flexibility, supporting guests who prefer a self-contained stay.

For breakfast you have a choice of various delicious options. The personnel was polite. The room was big (approx. 35m2) and this is the reason I selected the specific hotel, since I'd stay long time.
