We found this place after we could not stay where we had booked, because it was NOT wheelchair friendly, and all the other hotels were so expensive that we considered sleeping in the car. What a joy - we were allowed to look at the room before paying and checking in, the wheelchair facilities are top class. The staff were friendly, and went out of their way to make our lives easier. It also was so convenient for the University, being directly across from the main gate. The place was spotlessly clean, and even the cleaning staff were courteous and helpful

Room tip: well worth staying at when in Bloemfontein

Staying in this hotel was such a nice surprise! The rooms are finished like little pods, and are more than adequate for a one night stop over. It was very clean and we were very comfortable. I would stay there again.

We stopped over in Bloemfontein for a night on our way through to Cape Town. We arrived and queue was short to check in, however it took a little while for the reception to process people. We were given keys and then went straight out for dinner.

When we came back - walked up to our rooms and one of the keys wouldn't work. Then finally someone came out of the room and said they were in that room. We went back to the reception to say someone was in our room, and they gave us another key. When we went to that room, the key worked fine and we went in, but someone's stuff was in the room! The third room we were given was finally empty - but then there was a problem with the electricity.

We understand that they are fully booked and busy- but that was absolutely insane. They gave us a key and sent us to a room that was occupied! TWICE!!!

The rooms itself were fine for a stop over. Comfortable enough for what you pay.

I stayed there at breakfast had a very bad experience. There was a lady at the reception shouting and swearing very dirty words might I add. She did not bother I was sitting having my breakfast . I asked the gentleman who worked at reception who she was he told me she was the manager. I would suggest please change the Managers has that kind of behaviour is uncalled for especially in front of paying guest. I will never stay there again ever

This was our second stay here and once again we had nothing to complain about. The room was clean and the shower huge. The aircon worked perfectly. No noise and friendly staff. The Spur right next door is ideal. The hotel is situated very close to shopping centers and easily accessible. We will definitely stay there again when passing through Bloem.
