    The room itself was a nice size and great value for money with a balcony, a desk to work at plus 2 three-quarter beds provided. Location: the hotel was very close to the main shopping centres and malls and the highway.

    Every time I'm in Bloemfontein, I choose this place. I have just returned from an excellent stay in this trendy boutique hotel. - the rooms are neat and air-conditioned. - the location is good and easy to reach, just 2 miles from an art museum. - It's in a safe area, which is another bonus. - the room is reasonably priced. - the services are friendly and include a heated pool.

    Conveniently situated.

    the cleaners are noisy in the mornings. The food at the restaurant was horrible compared to other similar type of hotels I've been to.

    The rooms here were great - they had extra pillows, a fridge, and a balcony; everything you need for a comfy stay 😊. They seemed recently updated and well taken care of.

    I honestly cannot say that there was one thing that I enjoyed during my stay, it was a pretty below-par experience for a Protea Hotel.

    Only one vending machine in the entire hotel, which was not in working order! The receptionist at the time was also very unfriendly, and did not make any effort to resolve the vending machine issue. Also no mini-bar in my room, so I had to drink tap water throughout the evening.

    We enjoyed the convenience and proximity it offered to our dance venue. Our room was functional and clean and provided us with all we needed. Thank-you.

    We opted out of the breakfast, as we dont eat big breakfasts and the price was a little too hefty for us. But if there was a smaller menu we would have considered it, eg a cafe style menu.

    Nice room with a desk to work and comfy bed.

    The Internet connection was slow and not compatible with VPN to get to my corporate email. Please upgrade your system.

    The complementary cookies and bottled water were a nice touch. the hotel's location near the city center and main attractions made it easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

    The breakfast buffet was quite expensive, especially since there were limited vegetarian options available. the wifi signal in the room was spotty and slow, making it difficult to stay connected to work and family back home.
