The Star Alliance Lounge at Addis Ababa's Bole International Airport emerges as a commendable haven for layovers, offering a well-rounded experience. The lounge's standout feature lies in its inviting atmosphere, providing a comfortable refuge for travelers navigating through transit. The culinary offerings are marked by their commendable Ethiopian cuisine, contributing to a positive dining experience that adds to the lounge's appeal. The ergonomics of the lounge chairs further enhances the overall comfort, creating a space conducive to relaxation. However, a subtle caveat arises in the form of ambient noise levels. While the lounge succeeds in cultivating a tranquil ambiance, a modest enhancement in soundproofing measures could elevate the experience to greater heights. In summary, the Addis Ababa, Bole International Airport Star Alliance Lounge presents itself as a highly favorable layover location, and we would come back!

The gold lounge was another decent lounge but I personally didn’t like the airlines’ criteria of shifting me to Gold one from Platinum. I had platinum miles as qualifying, and it was well evident in my boarding pass as well. However, when I reached the platinum lounge, they asked me to go to the next one which happened to be this one. I had relatively less time to access the lounge, and for the same reason, I avoided any argument with the staff over this. But they need to be atleast polite enough to explain in case the platinum one is congested. Here, the amenities were good overall, but were slightly sub-par when compared with platinum one. The lounge was extremely crowded, even though it was very spacious, yet felt small for so many guests there.

Nice to come and visit the gold lounge here considering test considering to have some other ones it's nice to space it's nice and spacious comfortable please and you can't argue with the food they have laid out the food they have laid out this is an expensive airport for food so it's definitely worth using the lounge for your coffees and little nibbles Wi-Fi is free Wi-Fi is free Surprising how big this lounge is

This is a well managed place and you'll find a comfy environment to have rest. Foods are good.

After arrival on the red eye from Frankfurt the GoldStar Lounge was a welcome retreat. The lounge is larger than expected and will recommend this location. Food was a mix of local and European buffet for breakfast. Coffee was great. There is a childrens area and a smoking lounge for those still in need. Beer and wine are available.

This is where the business class ticket holders also the Sheba and Cloud 9 members relax and chill before boarding. It is fairly spacious but can look full. A prayer 🙏 room, massage 💆‍♀️ room, toilet 🚻, a couple of restaurants and a full bar 🍸 are some of what is available here. Clean and cool, you can also nod off here but don't expect to be called for boarding. You can also charge your mobile devices or connect to the WiFi to read your emails 📧 or text messages. It is also wheelchair ♿ friendly.

The lounge is not so goods as other Star Alliance’s. I give them 2 stars because I have been changing the shower box since there wasn’t have a hot water. Also need to renovate. Only have body cream and soap, nothing else. The slipper is not one use, so be carefully about the hygiene of this.

October 2024 4* Ethiopian airlines has two lounges at the airport - Platinum (Business class) and Gold (Star Alliance). Visited their Gold lounge. The place is quite spacious and has all the facilities including shower. Washrooms are clean and nicely maintained. There is seating area in the front and sleeping chairs in the back side. Also there are some working desk. Good quality is good and had many vegetarian options. Loved the red beans.
