Hopefully complimentary airport shuttle and breakfast will be offered in future. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Lianne Dec 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Lianne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler Oct 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveler Apr 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025
