The major finding of the study indicates that the hotel guests’ were not satisfied on the provided service by four star hotels in Addis Ababa. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommended that the owners and to level managements like operation and human resource managers are advised to implement and apply the standard operation procedures {SOP} guide lines to improve the quality service to be provided by the hotel. So the operation and human resource managers should give attention on the SOP guideline by giving training and giving the guidelines to the employees, because employees are the first contact personnel with the customer to provide a service so the top level managers should emphasize on the guidelines weather applied or not because it’s a blue print for providing a quality service and a means of giving customer satisfaction.
