Do you have any hotel recommendations?Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We've reserved hotel blocks at a few nearby hotels to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. We recommend booking early to take advantage of the special rates. You can find all the details—including booking links and deadlines— on the Travel page of our website. We also wanted to provide you all with suggestions based on our previous stays and experiences at those specific hotels. You can easily use google and other travel sites ( Expedia, Kayak, Airbnb etc) to book hotels, guest houses etc. We highly suggest our guests to stay in the "Bole, Kazanchis, Hyaulet 22, Dembel, Meskel Square" areas as those neighborhoods are located in prime areas with easy access to walking, transport, restaurant, shopping and nightlife. The airport is also conveniently located 5-15 min away also.
