I was quite looking forward to my stay at the Hyatt Regency Addis Abeba – a newly property at Addis Abeba’s ‘city center’ – Meskel Square. The building is almost at the center of the city’s biggest intersection and a new Chinese built tram line. This should make an easy transport option – to an […]
The Radisson Blu Addis Abeba is just a block away from the Hilton Addis but given the odd walkways and treacherous traffic and state of sidewalks, it can take 20 minutes to get there. I stayed a few times at the Radisson Blu Addis Abeba (my old review) and found it to be very solid. […]

Even before the ‘Arab Spring’ Tunisia has been one of the more open Islamic societies and can be described as the Turkey of Northern Africa (with a heavy French accent). In fact, French is widely […]
InterContinental Malta is located in St. Julian’s bay – the ‘party district’ of Malta. As with many buildings in Malta, the InterContinental has mushroomed from a modest footprint to a whole city block that seems to be sprawling all over the place. In fact, the 10th-floor pool got an addition on the 19th floor to provide […]

It’s located on a steep hill and it is in close neighborhood to the Radisson Addis Abeba (Review), Intercontinental Addis Abeba (that one is fake) and also rather close to the Hyatt Addis Abeba (Review).
