Axel's take: 8.3/10
A strong Bole base for clean, spacious rooms, but check cooling and nighttime noise. A mid-range business hotel in Bole near the airport, scored for what it is.
Cassiopeia is a mid-range business hotel in Bole, and we'd pick it for practical comfort rather than luxury. Tripadvisor, Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean, spacious rooms and helpful staff, with strong overall ratings supporting that picture. Nearby restaurants and shops, plus a free airport shuttle arranged in advance, make it useful for business trips and short stopovers.
The main reservations are sleep and cooling: guests on Agoda and Google report nighttime noise and rooms without working air conditioning, despite some listings advertising it. Expedia guests also flag a rough access street and road construction outside in February 2026; whether that work continues is unconfirmed. Breakfast gets mixed feedback and may cost extra. We'd skip it if reliable air conditioning or guaranteed quiet is essential.
