Point Central Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want the best-rated hotel in our Addis Ababa sample at well under half the median price we saw in the city, and you are happy to use taxis. Skip it if you want to walk to the main sights or need air conditioning confirmed.

Point Central Hotel suits budget travellers and families who still want some facilities. The property lists a gym, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace, family rooms, free parking and free Wi-Fi. For a 3-star hotel at this price, that is a useful set.
It suits you less if you plan to explore on foot, since all three sights in our data are far. Air conditioning is not listed among the facilities, so if that matters to you, ask the hotel before booking.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Bole, and the address in our data is Hayahulet. Guests rate the location 8.5 out of 10, which is lower than its overall score and the weakest location score of our three picks here.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. Holy Trinity Cathedral is 3 km away, about 38 minutes on foot. The National Museum of Ethiopia is 3.9 km, about 49 minutes. St. George's Cathedral is 4.8 km, about 60 minutes. All three are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi for sightseeing. Free parking is listed if you have a car.
What guests say
Guests give it 9.2 out of 10 from 82 reviews. That is the top score among the 8 hotels we compared in the city, though the review count is modest.
Our review summary lists no specific praise and no recurring complaints for this hotel. We cannot tell you what guests like most or what bothers them. Before booking, read recent reviews and look for comments on room size, noise, cleanliness, temperature in the rooms and the area at night.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €35.55 per night, about €71 for the stay. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November) for 2 adults in one room. They are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
That was 62% below the €94.08 median of the hotels we sampled. Best Western Premier Dynasty, our Best Value pick, cost €99.17 per night and scored 8.9. Elilly International Hotel, our Luxury pick, cost €111.80 and scored 8.1. So Point Central is both the cheapest and the best rated of the three, at less than half the price of the other two. What you give up is a pool, a spa and 4 or 5 stars.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible properties in Addis Ababa. Point Central shared first place on guest score. It took the Budget slot because €35.55 was the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice had been set aside.
