About this hotel
Friendship International Hotel folds free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and airport transfers into the room rate, alongside a hot tub, fitness centre, bar and restaurant, a genuinely broad set of amenities for its price point. Air conditioning keeps rooms comfortable through Bole's warmer afternoons, and Kid-friendly tagging suits families managing a connection through Addis Ababa. A 4-minute walk reaches Dusk Restaurant for a dining option beyond the hotel's own. The reported 9-minute taxi ride to Bole Airport keeps the terminal close, with the free transfer service offering a genuinely cost-free alternative to a taxi for guests catching an Ethiopian Airlines flight in either direction. A bar rounds out the evening options for guests not heading out to the nearby restaurant.

- Free breakfast
Our take
This suits families and travellers who want free airport transfers and a hot tub without a business-hotel price tag. The nearby restaurant adds evening variety. Business travellers needing a dedicated business centre should compare against the cluster's larger properties, though Friendship International Hotel covers most practical needs for a shorter stay well.
- Confirm the free airport transfer schedule against your flight time directly with the hotel before your stay.
- Use the hot tub in the evening, a pleasant way to unwind after a day of travel through Addis Ababa.
- Walk to Dusk Restaurant, four minutes away, for dinner if you want variety beyond the hotel's own restaurant.

Why guests love itFriendship International Hotel is a four-star stop about nine minutes by taxi from Bole Airport, and I would book it for the free airport transfers, which take care of both directions without a fare to arrange. Free breakfast and Wi-Fi are included, and the hot tub and fitness centre help after a long flight. Rooms have air conditioning, the hotel has its own restaurant, and Dusk Restaurant is a four-minute walk.
