The Suburban Guest House is a modern, up market establishment which was born from the need to cater for the travelling businessman as well as his family when needed. As the name suggests, we are situated in the leafy Dan Pienaar suburb of Bloemfontein, which was recently voted one of the best suburbs to live in South Africa.

Detailed Reviews
Thank you Gustav for making my stay a positive one.
The room was clean. Staff there when needed and not there when not needed and the garden relaxing.
Unfortunately, my stay and departure times only allowed for one breakfast but that one was very good.
It might be a good idea to expand on the breakfast options but then again, this is a guest house catering for small "groups" (so the limited option is understandable).
Keep it up!

Overall, this is a great accommodation in Bloem. The manager is very kind and welcoming. Told me everything I needed to know about the guesthouse. The room was clean and everything I needed for the one night stay. The walls are pretty thin so I did hear the next door room's television loud and clear.

My elderly parents and I stayed for one night at The Suburban recently whilst passing through Bloemfontein. We were very pleased with the access to the room, cleanliness, aircon, safety and the beds and bedding were wonderful. It was easy to get to the breakfast area too. We were well attended to with a full breakfast and excellent coffee. Thank you to Gustaf who was very charming and knowledgeful about the local area.

Accommodation is excellent. Rooms are well equipped with everything needed. It was nice to stay in a clean room. The food was a bit blunt, but edible. Thank you for your hospitality. The guest house is highly recommendable.

Fantastic overnight stay in Bloemfontein! Really affordable, around 38 USD per night via Booking.Com. Excellent room, clean, modern, view over the garden. Safe parking. In a lovely, quiet neighborhood. The manager, Gustav, is an absolute delight, ensured we had all we needed. And the breakfast (included) was amazing.What a pleasant surprise!

The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The host is very professional, friendly and the breakfast worth it. Quiet area and within easy travel to other venues. Great place to stay for couples and for business accommodation.

A group of friends that traveled for a wedding. We stayed at The Suburban guest house in Bloemfontein. After a long drive we were welcomed by Gustav the most friendliest host. The rooms were neat and clean and very comfortable, the staff attended to all our needs and made sure that we were comfortable at all times - went the extra mile. The breakfast that was included in the price were amazing. Thank you for a great stay. Will definitely visit you again and recommend your guest house.

My visit to Suburban is definetly a home away from home. The service is professional friendly and courteous. The rooms are clean, properly sanitized and all Covid 19 protocols observed. My stay has always been an absolute pleasure even prior to Covid 19. I would definetly recommend a stay at the Suburban whether you on bussines or leisure. The staff are well trained to deal with guests needs.

If i had to visit Bloem again or anyone who wants to visit Bloem i would recommend the Suburban for that person. I cannot wait for My visit again in June so that i book at the place. Rooms are very clean. Staff is so friendly. Breakfast was perfect and on time. We didn't have to wait for the food. The food waited for us as were travelling with the Old lady. Thank you Suburban for hosting me, my brother and my mother. You are really the best in Bloemfontein
