And one figure among the other hotel’s rooms is worth doing the arithmetic on.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa from 226 € offers 17 categories. The ladder starts at 24 square metres and climbs through 32, 34, 50 and 68 to twice 120.
And then comes one more: 374 square metres.
Add up the ten smallest categories in the hotel – three times 24, twice 32 and five times 34. That gives 306.
So the one large category is larger than the ten smallest put together. You rarely find that in a hotel whose entry price is 226 euros.
Our advice: there is exactly one of it. If you are travelling with family or as a group and are already thinking about two rooms, ask us about this one first – and early, because no second one moves up behind it.
