WORST service from HOTELS.COM
Hotels.com were absolutely the worst company i have dealt in over 30 years.On the day of reservation total value for 4 rooms was taken from my credit card but Hotel.com did not even inform the Hotel Panorama.My clients had to wait for 7 hours in the Lobby and eventually were not given their rooms.This the absolutely unacceptable behaviour on part of such a big organisation.We are expecting a gesture of compensation but nothing has come so far.

I had a great time staying the in Panorama hotel until the lost day, I was leaving the power when off for one day and half and my laundry was is not done. All my clothes was wet and I was on my way to airport, as well the electricity was not back yet. I was mad at the staff at the laundry which I give them my laundry a day a head when the were power.

Panorama is my Addis hotel
I have stayed at Panorama Hotel many times. The staff is always friendly, they remember me, are complimentary and eager to help. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. They recently updated the televisions in all the rooms to nice flat screen Samsung tv's mounted on the wall. They have a decent selection of tv channels to watch. The hotel is conveniently located on the east side of town just 15 minutes from the airport. The restraunt serves good food as well. Sometimes there is trouble with the internet, but that is just Addis Ababa. When you report the problem to the staff they will all they can to fix it. I always enjoy my stay at Panorama and look forward to my next visit there.

Lovely hotel
I really loved the Panorama Hotel, which was recommended to me by an Ethiopian colleague as a good deal. It is indeed a very good value. Of all the 3 hotels I've stayed in during my stay in Addis, I liked the Panorama the best by far. The staff is very nice, and were very accommodating. The restaurant is very good, and the hotel is extremely pleasant, airy and well designed. My room was one of the nicest I've ever stayed in, not luxurious but very spacious with very good views of the surrounding area. the surrounding area is under construction for a new subway, so that is the one disadvantage of the hotel right now. Once construction is complete, it will be unbeatable in all respects.

The Hotel is kind of cool!
This is a pretty good hotel. The General Manager and her front desk staff was really awesome to meet. They treated me as if I had been there many times before. The only issue I had was with seating in the dining area, but I know that will be fixed immediately, so that bad not so good experience I don't need to dwell in.

Adventure Hotel in ADDIS
No Internet functioning
This was extremely critical due to some extremely important mails
No caring about
No booking file registered ..
Accepted my reservation on believe system
Stated also to a business partner - that i havent been paying for my stay and asked him for his business card and guarantee..
They were totally incapable to detect my reservation and payment .. so this will go on this story!!!
DEFINITELY - will never recommend to any business partner ...
The personal is fine - warm nice people - just totally helpless lost in there.

The Panorama in Addis Ababa
My wife and I had four nights in the Panorama. Totally adequate for a visit to Addis. Staff friendly and helpful, shuttle to airport good and quick.
Location is a fair distance from City centre and one needs to be aware of Hotels location.
Generally very acceptable for a mid priced stay.

Comfortable hotel
The Panorama was a comfortable hotel, clean and in a safe part of the city. It was close to Bole airport and was conveniently located near a number of great dining options in Addis.

A very ordinary hotel costing double its worth
I had to go rather suddenly to Addis Ababa and needed a hotel for two nights. Expedia did a really great job. It is just that the hotel is overpriced by a factor of two, the food is average with in its favour, at least it did not make me sick.

Good, but expensive!
Great for Addis. A little over-priced in my opinion, but was clean with hot water and English-speakers on staff. Overall very nice.

It was OK
Everything was OK -- not great, not terrible. A few notes: a bar of soap no shampoo or other amenities, no ATM inside, WIFI worked more often than not but definitely not seamless.

!!!please read!!! more to say but out of room
UPSIDE: location was good right off the main street staff was very friendly &helpfull the food for lunch &dinner was great, room was clean
DOWNSIDE: breakfast starts at 8 you need to be there at 8 if you like hot food. they dont tell you that you are charged room service fees even when you eat in dinner hall or bar. the beds are much smaller then the look in pictures with the mattress you may be 2-21/2 feet max off ground the mattress are old kids bunk bed style ( little to no coushin) the shower is SUPER LITTLE (speaking for the twin rooms) there is a lot of noise right now from construction but only during the day(untill bout 7 pm). the internet worked decent the first 2 days barley the 3rd day ¬ at all the last 2 days, (we was told it had to be our cpus :-/). I was told i had a balcony, WRONG only sliding door with a rail nothing to step out on. i went with a friend, male on last day we was told we should have never been aloud to check in together &they wanted us to buy another room. they do not allow 2 men in the same room even if it does have 2 beds. there is no central heat and air in each room there is only a "hotel control" i sware it seemed like whenever whoever had control over got hot or cold the whole hotel paid for it. the final straw was when we had friends that was staying in another hotel come to visit we was told that we need to pay per visitor to enter the room since i reserved the room for 2 people only 2 people can be in the room at any given time.

Absolutely terrible customer service.
I would never stay at this hotel again. I gave it a shot on two occasions, because the Jupiter was booked, but they are unbelievably inept, rude, and unhelpful.
