About this hotel
BENTARK Hotel sits a 2-minute walk from Emerald restaurant, one of the more convenient dining options in this cluster, alongside a reported 10-minute taxi ride to Bole Airport. An 8-minute walk reaches Medhanealem Cathedral for a spare half hour before or after a flight. The property keeps its offering focused rather than extensive, without the pool, spa or business centre of the district's larger hotels, built for travellers who want a functional room and a reasonably short ride to the terminal. That combination of walkable dining and a manageable ride suits a straightforward overnight stop through Addis Ababa without much fuss required. Free Wi-Fi throughout keeps guests connected for the length of a short stay near the terminal.
- Walkable dining
- Short taxi ride
- Functional rooms
Our take
This suits travellers who want a functional, no-frills stay with a nearby restaurant and a reasonable ride to Bole Airport. It's a practical pick for a short transit stop. Travellers wanting a gym, pool or extensive dining options on site should look to the cluster's larger business hotels instead, since BENTARK Hotel keeps things simple.
- Eat at Emerald restaurant, a two-minute walk away, for a quick and convenient dinner option.
- Confirm your taxi pickup the evening before an early flight given the reported 10-minute ride to the terminal.
- Walk to Medhanealem Cathedral if you have a spare half hour before or after your flight.
Why we love it

Why guests love itI would book BENTARK Hotel for a family transit night in the Bole district rather than a longer stay. Guests rate it 9 from 91 reviews, and the 10-minute taxi to Bole Airport is one of the easier runs in this guide. Emerald restaurant is a two-minute walk for dinner, and Medhanealem Cathedral is about eight minutes on foot if you have a spare hour. No pool or gym is listed, so keep expectations simple.
