Why guests love itEthiopian Skylight Hotel is one of the few properties here offering both an indoor and an outdoor pool, useful in a city where outdoor swimming works better by day than after Addis Ababa's cool evenings set in. The genuinely distinctive detail is that some balcony rooms look over the runway at Bole International Airport rather than a garden or street, which will appeal to aviation-minded travellers and feel odd to others. At 8.3 from 386 reviews, it's a solid, five-star, airport-adjacent choice.
