I found the Ethiopian Airlines Star Gold lounge at its Addis Ababa hub to be quite underwhelming in terms of amenities, but still a huge upgrade in space and decor versus its prior generation of airport lounges.
This lounge is nearly identical to the nearby Cloud 9 lounge in terms of design, space, and amenities including food and drinks.
The lounge was not crowded, with most sitting near the entrance. It’s a huge lounge, though, and as you continue to walk deeper into the lounge, there was copious seating available.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
