Hotels With Breakfast in Free State, South Africa

Spotless clean and fresh. Aircon; tv & free wifi and coffee facilities in thw room. Beds sleeps very well and bedding was of good quality. All the staff was so friendly and would go the extra mile without even asking. Special thanks to Riaan Loots GM for making us feel welcome. Felt rite at home and really enjoyed the stay. Close to Bloemfontein Airport; wimpy; Sticky Keg and other shops. I would highly recommend it as a sleepover destination when traveling and even n long weekend break away.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and well appointed. The location in Bloemfontein was close to amenities and in a lovely area. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and the ambience was great. Loved the peacocks in the courtyard outside.

We have been stopping over at Protea Willow Lake for many years, en route to Eastern Transvaal & Kruger. It has got a little tired and I have been concerned about security since the zoo closed. There is no additional protection and part of the establishment is exposed. The staff were great, although the buffet was always a bit rustic. We decided to try this Protea, which is slightly closer to the N1 and were not disappointed. We stayed for two nights. On the first night we had a great meal and were looked after by a really good host, Rachel, who was both friendly and very competent in her role. The second (return trip) night was not that great. Food & Bev manager pitched up eventually and, to his credit, stepped in, as we weren't the only ones taking strain. Sunday night. Short staffed and meal marginal. However the rooms are clean and well laid out (as with WillowLake) and, even though the area is not that great, the perimeter and security staff give confidence that you won't have any nasty surprises overnight. All in all you can see good staffing and committed management. This is where we will stay from now on. Five stars are in good faith. It is only consistency that keeps that rating, so we will see. All in all a very good experience!

Good day I would love to start of by saying we as the Ressouw family who stayed at the Lodge on the 6th of December 2024 to the 8th of December 2024 are truly great full for the service, we received at the city lodge Bloemfontein. The staff was exceptional with big smiles and welcoming personalities the service and rooms were in tip top, the pool area was perfect as well as the weather. We could not have asked for better accommodation. The food and accommodation was perfect. My daughter enjoyed her with the variety of pizza on the menu but for her the pool and pool area she enjoyed the most. I would like to end off by saying thank you to the manage and exceptional staff who made us feel so welcome. I can't remember her name but she was on duty the 8th of December 2024 dayshift please could you thank her and all your staff for us. It's very thoughtful of her that went the extra mile making out last day very welcoming and unforgettable. We can't wait to plan our next trip

The room was quite clean and we loved the location of the guest house. the staff was quite friendly. would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly .Breakfast was fresh and had a little bit of everything .Unfortunately for my partner and I ,we booked the hotel because of it’s amenities ,upon out arrival we got the news that the hotel is doing some refurbishments therefore we couldn’t use the amenities we booked the hotel for .I suggested that we at-least get upgraded as we are unhappy,but nothing of that sort happened .So I was very unhappy that the hotel couldn’t at-least meet us half way.They just said the site I booked at need to take full responsibility for not notifying me of the refurbishment.

Having not visited Sevens Guesthouse in a few years, I was eager to see if they had kept to their high standards on my recent trip to Kruger National Park from Cape Town. I was delighted to find that they absolutely have! The guesthouse itself is a beautiful wooden cabin with separate rooms opening onto a small courtyard. Even though we visited during winter, when it can get very cold in this part of South Africa, the rooms were nice and warm thanks to electric blankets and air conditioners. There is also a lovely shared living room, indoor dining area, and even a swimming pool for warmer days. We arrived quite late, but the manager was friendly and welcoming. They even went the extra mile and arranged an electrical port for us (we used our own extensions cords) so we could keep our camping fridges (outside in our vehicles) powered during our stay. The Sevens Guesthouse is also conveniently located. It is close to the N1 for easy access, and the on-site parking area is secured with electric fencing, providing peace of mind for your vehicle. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back in the future.

Affordable and best to stay with family. I had time to relax, the staff were excellent and came to check tike and again if we needed more help that they can offer. The food were well prepared, tasty and the breakfast menu was appetizing and had a variety to choose from.

The staff were very friendly and tried to help where necessary. They offered me a place to work from the office of the manager when i complained that i had no work desk in my room. I liked the location and the fact that i had my own remote. i also like the couches outside and plenty parking. I feel in this day and age of remote working there should be a study desk in every room. I was so disappointed that there was no desk in my room. Though i was offered to work from the managers office, it was so inconvenient, and also could not study or work at night as there was only a couch. The drainage for my shower in number 6 was also not good.

We stayed just one night on our trip to the Garden Route but would love to come back to Primavera Guesthouse again. Lettie and Pieter were absolutely lovely hosts and helped us out with tips and recommendations, reserved a table for dinner for us when we arrived only late. Rooms were nice and on point for our needs, as well as absolutely clean and secure (incl. secure parking). The house is located conveniently in a quiet area between highway and city center. Breakfast was very good including some of the freshest fruit we had during our trip through South Africa (thumbs up to Pieter). To us it was very good value for money and an absolutely enjoyable stay.

We had a 3 night stay and it was our very 1st time at Kiara and it really did not disappoint. Resort is situated in a beautiful setting that one can feel truly relaxed and even though we went during peak season, it did not feel over crowded (even the pool). Overall we were very happy with our stay, we had booked a 6 sleeper self catering chalet and one non self catering unit for our group and both units were comfortable and spacious and clean. The self catering unit was equipped well, although the fridge just did not seem cold enough even though it was on the coldest setting. Beds and sleeper coaches were all very comfortable. The kids loved the facilities and games room. Overall the resort is clean and well kept. Staff are friendly and super helpful. We did have 1 dinner at Maluti Melts Restaurant (we did find the food average - not spectacular. We were disappointed with the cheese fondue as we expected a proper swiss fondue where you have a real taste of cheese and cheese strings stretching after you dipped your food but it really was just a cheese sauce. Resort is close to the Golden Gate reserve and to Clarens so it makes it an ideal spot to be close enough to everything. My only suggestion is for resort management to please check the balcony wooden fencing on a regular basis as we found some of the vertical wood was loose and could easily be pulled off with not much force (we did phone maintenance to come fix this), this is dangerous as we had young toddlers with us and we had one of the upper units so had we not tested it (and it was really by chance as well that we decided to check), the toddler could easily pull it off and fit through and fall.
