About this hotel
Liya Guest House keeps its offering simple and its rate low: a budget stay reporting an 8-minute taxi ride to Bole Airport, among the shorter reported times in this cluster despite the modest price point. A 9-minute walk reaches Medhanealem Cathedral, and Golden Plate Restaurant sits 5 minutes away for a nearby dining option beyond whatever the guest house itself offers. Without the amenity lists of the larger hotels nearby, this property suits travellers who want a functional, low-cost room and a reasonably short ride to the terminal rather than a pool, spa or business centre attached to a higher nightly rate. The straightforward setup keeps the whole booking process simple for a short, practical stop through Addis Ababa.
- Short taxi ride
- Budget rate
- Walkable dining
Our take
This suits budget travellers who want a genuinely low rate alongside a reasonably short ride to Bole Airport. The walkable restaurant and cathedral add a bit of local texture to an otherwise simple stay. Travellers wanting amenities like a gym, pool or business centre should look toward the cluster's mid-range or business hotels instead of this straightforward guest house.
- Walk to Golden Plate Restaurant, five minutes away, for a nearby dinner option beyond the guest house.
- Confirm your taxi arrangement in advance, smaller guest houses in Bole don't always run their own shuttle.
- Visit Medhanealem Cathedral the evening before an early flight if you have a spare half hour to fill.

Why guests love itI would pick Liya Guest House for a short, cost-first stop in Addis Ababa. The listing reports an 8-minute taxi ride to Bole Airport, a 9-minute walk to Medhanealem Cathedral and a 5-minute walk to Golden Plate Restaurant, so dinner needs little planning. It lists no pool, gym or shuttle, so I would book the taxi in advance. It has no guest reviews yet, so I treat the details as reported by the property.
