Adot-Tina Hotel

Addis Ababa


The small, attractive rooms of this intimate business-class hotel, which come with either a deep, relaxing bath or a space-age shower far too complicated for us to work out, are really good value. However, the seal on the deal might be the free sauna and gym. It’s a popular choice with tour groups and people coming to Ethiopia to adopt a child.

Discounts are common.
