OUTSIDE is unkempt, hardly looks like a hotel. old paint,old everything. Water just flows on the pavements. Cant tell if its sewer water or what its a bad picture for a hotel. There was no safe in my room but online they claim to have a safe in every room. Inside is better. The name of the hotel is not visible. Wifi terrible, does not work most of the day when it works very very slow.. Receiving calls a nightmare. The phones inside the rooms hardly work. Catering staff very good. Room cleaners very good.

An accessible room

We requested an accessible room--the room we stayed in was excellent for a person in a wheelchair. When we arrived at the hotel, the security person took us to a parking spot next to the hotel entrance. Excellent breakfast choices.

Great overnight stopover

Stayed over for a single night at a very affordable rate. Breakfast was good. Checkin and service and room quality were all good. I read some comments about noise and I did notice the walls were a little thin, but only slightly and it did not bother me at all. Location was great - one block from the mall. Uncapped Wifi worked, but slowly.

Aha Bloemfontein Not my first choice

The hotel in general looks fine, but up close it looks warn. I had no WiFi as advertised. There was no warm water for the shower on a winters morning. The breakfast was served Luke warm with cold coffee. The room walls are very thin and all the noise from the next door neighbor was clearly audible.

Room was ok but carpet was very stained. Room was very noisy. AC did not work. There is no room service and no food is available, except for breakfast. On the Sunday there were drunk people sitting in the parking area drinking and being noisy. I will not return to this hotel.
