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.

Here’s a polished version of your review: I had a great experience at Skylight Hotel. The airport shuttle was very easy to locate, the staff was friendly, and the ride to the hotel took less than five minutes. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by a team that was both warm and extremely helpful throughout my stay. I also have to highlight the spa—it was absolutely top-notch and truly elevated the entire experience.
