The hotel is on a busy road and not particularly well laid out but any short comings are made up by the very friendly staff particularly Selamawit Minase and her colleague Sisay who were a credit to the hotel.

Having a cultural restaurant in the basement is the best thing about the Capital Hotel & Spa. The music and dancing were mesmerizing. We had such a great time and the food was delicious! It's also wonderful to be able to work out in the enormous gym and get your hair done in the beauty salon. Such a great place to spend a weekend! Keep it up

This was my first time staying at this hotel, which I chose somewhat by chance as it was the first option available during my online booking. I later noticed that it had garnered positive feedback from many other customers, which reassured me about my choice.
The quality-to-cost ratio was reasonable, and, as is often the case in Addis Ababa, the staff were friendly, approachable, and always ready to assist.
While I appreciated my overall experience, I felt that the room facilities did not quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's advertised 5-star rating. There is room for improvement in this regard to better align with the standards typically associated with such a rating.

A good 3 star hotels
Definitely not a 5 star hotel nor a 4 star hotel . Just an average 3 star hotel. Very run down. Needs total revamp. Free shuttle from and to the airport is a plus.

The checkin was smooth, my booking was a day later than I needed but they booked me a room as a walk-in for a resonance price. Only issue was they didn’t take Amex or Mastercard so had to pay cash.
They take dollar based on the day’s exchange rate. The staff was friendly and accommodating but can be slow for room service or at the restaurant.

First Class Staff
When we arrived Addishiwut Meieje was extremely helpful, although we were disappointed with the condition of the room she assisted us and moved us to a more appropriate room. Fitsum Tesfaye went the extra mile to escort us to our room and made sure that we were satisfied. During our stay Fitsum and Addishiwut checked on us every day, ensured that everything functioned and that we were comfortable. Gaddisse, and Bezawit made sure that our dining experience was top notch. The entire staff helped me celebrate my birthday it was amazing. The bartender Bethlehem on the 9th floor made our experience top notch and Habtamu helped me celebrate and made the best drinks. Overall the staff made our experience First class! The Capitol Hotel and Spa staff carry this location.
