Very good quality hotel in a great location near airport. Could improve the airport shuttle service, as often waiting longer than the 15 mins regular service. But overall a great experience with nice restaurants, bars and open areas.

這服務真的沒的説,差勁的很,房間點個餐,如果要付現金,必須先去前台付錢,然後前台通知餐廳。這個我就忍了。跑到前台,説明來意,當要付錢的時候,問我這個現金是怎麼來的,讓我提供證據,我説之前銀行換的,單據早就扔了。不能證明,就不能點餐。好嘛,我這哪是花錢住酒店啊,我這是花錢買罪受啊!room service的精神在哪裡。 還有我朋友上去幫我放個行李,就要把我朋友的護照壓在前台。我當時很生氣,就説你沒有權利扣押我朋友的護照。他們很理直氣壯的説,為了安全。我回,為了安全你們有很多方法,為什麼要選擇扣押護照, 這次的入住體驗超級差,他們的服務還比不上凱悦,萬豪,鬱金香,這樣的酒店。個別的,服務員感覺都趾高氣昂,一副很拽的樣子 以後再也不住了

離機場很近,安保嚴,進酒店過安檢,有給小費習慣,可以的話,提前換點比爾。沒有ID美金付款或網上續訂,有ID用比爾,匯率划算點。

We had a great stay. The staff were friendly and really helpful. The shuttle from the airport was super convenient and took us about 8 minutes to the hotel. There were plenty of restaurant and bar options as well as some duty-free stores. Overall, it is a great option if you have a layover in Ethiopia.

A Deeply Disappointing and Unacceptable Experience at Skylight Hotel I stayed in a mini suite at Skylight Hotel, and I was shocked by how terrible the experience turned out to be. The staff were rude, impatient, and made me feel completely unwelcome from the moment I arrived. For the high price I paid, I expected decent service – instead, I was treated with disrespect and inflexibility. Friends and family who came to visit me were not even allowed to come up to my room. I wasn’t trying to throw a party – just to see my loved ones for a short visit – and even that was forbidden. The hotel felt more like a guarded facility than a place of hospitality. Worse still, the treatment I received clearly depended on the color of my skin. White guests were treated with smiles, courtesy, and flexibility. I, on the other hand, was made to feel like I didn’t belong there. It was blatant discrimination, and I will not stay silent about it. I had originally planned to extend my stay for three more nights, but after one evening, I made the immediate decision to leave. I’ve stayed at many hotels, and this was by far the worst service I’ve ever received. Skylight Hotel should be ashamed. I will never return – and I strongly advise others to think twice before booking here.
