About this hotel
Hotel Lobelia pairs a spa and fitness room with a business centre and full-service laundry, an unusually complete set of amenities for its budget-tier rate. A restaurant and cosy bar cover dining and evenings on site, while free breakfast and free parking handle the practical basics. A 9-minute walk reaches Medhanealem Cathedral, and Emerald restaurant sits 2 minutes away for a nearby alternative. The 11-minute taxi ride to Bole Airport keeps the terminal within reasonable reach, and the property's own airport shuttle offers a second route, rounding out a stay that punches above its price point for both business and leisure travellers alike. Free Wi-Fi throughout keeps the property functional for guests working remotely during a longer connection.

Our take
This suits budget-conscious business travellers who still want a spa, business centre and laundry service without paying a premium rate. The cosy bar adds a bit of atmosphere in the evenings. Travellers wanting the shortest possible ride to the terminal should compare the 11-minute reported time against closer options, since Hotel Lobelia trades a few minutes for its unusually broad amenity list.
- Book a spa slot in advance, popular times fill during busy Ethiopian Airlines connection periods at this rate.
- Use the business centre for printing or sending documents rather than seeking one out elsewhere in Bole.
- Walk to Emerald restaurant, two minutes away, if you want a change from the hotel's own restaurant.

Why guests love itHotel Lobelia is a three-star budget hotel about eleven minutes by taxi from Bole Airport, and I would book it for a work trip that needs more than a bed. The business centre and full-service laundry handle the practical side, while the spa, fitness room, restaurant and cosy bar fill an evening. Free breakfast and free parking are included, and Medhanealem Cathedral is a nine-minute walk.
