About this hotel
Bonanza Addis Hotel keeps an outdoor pool, hot tub and spa at a lower nightly rate than the larger business hotels nearby, an unusual combination that suits travellers who want recovery amenities without the higher price point. A fitness centre and free breakfast round out the offering, and kitchen access in some rooms adds flexibility for a longer stopover. A 9-minute walk reaches Medhanealem Cathedral, and Dusk Restaurant sits 5 minutes away for a nearby dining alternative. The 10-minute taxi ride to Bole Airport keeps the terminal within easy reach, and the property's own airport shuttle offers a second option depending on flight timing and personal preference for the journey.

Our take
This suits budget-conscious travellers who still want a pool and spa without paying business-hotel rates. The kitchen access is a genuine plus for a longer stay through Addis Ababa. Travellers wanting the shortest possible ride to the terminal or a full business centre should compare against other options in the cluster, since Bonanza Addis Hotel prioritises recovery amenities over speed.
- Use the outdoor pool during the day, evenings cool quickly at Addis Ababa's altitude even in dry season.
- Book a kitchen-equipped room if your stay stretches past a single night through the city.
- Confirm the airport shuttle schedule against your flight even with the short 10-minute taxi ride as backup.

Why guests love itBonanza Addis Hotel is a four-star budget hotel about ten minutes by taxi from Bole Airport, and I would book it for a longer stopover rather than a quick night. The outdoor pool, hot tub, spa and fitness centre give you a proper break between flights, and some rooms have kitchen access for a stay of several days. Free breakfast and free parking are included, and Medhanealem Cathedral is a nine-minute walk.
