A great and very comfortable place to stay for a layover or a couple of days in Addis. The hotel and rooms present very high-end and are spotless and comfortable. The staff were a little aloof and not engaging ... but also not rude, just a neutral experience with the staff.

The gym was really really, really great. It’s hard to find a good gym overseas, but this one was really good. The food in the restaurants was really good and we ordered room service one night and it was excellent. I wish they had a better wine list but that’s being a little picky. Only very small thing I would be critical of was the tour representative. There was not very helpful and insisted into doing things her way rather than what we wanted.

The room and amenities were great but what really stood out to me was the green Apple spa . From the haircut I received from Betty the Barber to the massage I received from Johnny the best masseuse I have ever had I truly enjoyed the world class spa experience Skylight Hotel offers. Please give my strongest thanks to Johnny for his excellent deep-tissue massage!
Johnny was such a great masseuse I asked for a picture!

Sky is an amazing hotel located in one of the best neighborhoods in Addis. It’s also an excellent option for red eye flights as it is located very close to the airport and provides free shuttle back and forth. I have stayed multiple times and every single time it has been an exceptional experience.

The room was great - spotless, with a very comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower and nice towels. The shuttle was very convenient - when you arrive at the airport, you need to ask the people at the desk as you get close to the exit to let the hotel know to come get you. Only downer was that the food was OK. Not bad, but not great either. Overall, a great place to stay in Addis.
