Terrible experience, avoid
Arrived and they had not held our reservation even though we had paid for it, they had sold the room to another guest. When they eventually got us a room it stank of cigarette smoke for the first two days, there was smoke coming into the room from somewhere but couldn’t work out where. This stopped on the last day presumably because the source of the smoke had checked out. Everywhere in the room was unclean. One night a Jack hammer was going outside the window until 2am and then at 3am someone started playing music very loudly until 7am. Staff couldn’t be less enthusiastic, just do not care. Elevators are a nightmare because only one works and they have a bar on the roof that anyone can use so it’s always full when you’re trying to get down or up to a high floor. Just overall a really rubbish hotel with apathetic management and staff.

Great hotel with friendly staff
I had a wonderful stay at Monarch Hotel. The room was comfortable and the staff very pleasant and helpful. This made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel has several restaurants. I liked the 360 restaurant that has a great view and is always lively in the evenings. I enjoyed the diner and drinks there on several occasions.

No stay due to long Visa process
I was not able to experience the hotel due to lack of visa. I paid for Ethiopia eVisa to process in 24 hours. 5 days later i still have no visa. So I never made it into the country.
