Convenient and Comfortable stay

A great location when visiting the University. Convenient and allows for focused work within your room. The breakfast is not included. I had the breakfast on day 1 but chose not to do this again as I do not believe it is value for money. That said, the rest of my stay was good and the coffee available was excellent, especially for early morning hour working!

Great place to stay. I had one night only. Parking was a little tricky but ultimately ample. Understandable that it was a big weekend in Bloemfontein but breakfast should have been included in the price. WiFi login in details weren't provided at check in which required me to call and request it. A little noisy in the morning but that it down to other guests.
