The hotel shocked me as it is an exact replica of Protea Hotel Nelspruit! Perhaps there was a buy one design get one free deal! Anyway the reception staff was great (Dallas and Puseletso). Sadly attention to detail must be reinforced as I was booked into a paraplegic room and only after the thoughtful porter said he though i should... More

I would recommend this hotel without hesitation. Like the enthusiasm of the Manageress to serve, so is the staff. You feel as though you are at home. My son and daughter in law were booked in and both are vegetarian. In their words "we did not see so many veg dishes before". Because they only arrived at 3h00 they were... More

Bloemfontein has always been conservative and narrow-minded cities in the RSA.It yet is! You can not find an abundance of good restaurants and hotels here. The Southern Sun must be avoided at all costs. The Protea is bland but efficient.

The service at the hotel is fantastic; my room was very clean, a good size and comfortable and the food of good quality. I had a very enjoyable stay, mostly beacuse of the... More

Protea Hotels are always a safe bet and the Protea Hotel Bloemfontein is no exception. Immaculately clean, crisp linen, good food. We had a family unit (2 x double beds) - enough space for 2 x adults and 2 x young children. Will always consider any Protea Hotel for a stay.

We only stayed here for one night ready for an early morning flight. We had fairly low expectations based on the price we had paid for the room, but were pleasantly surprised. Check-in/out was quick and efficient, complimentary drinks in reception a nice touch and a large indoor and outdoor bar and restaurant area available.

I stay at Protea hotels frequently. I have always found that you can expect a good room and comfortable surroundings. This is certainly true of the Protea in Bloem. I have stayed here many times. The front desk staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was nicely done up with good quality bedding and a flat screen TV. The... More

This is a comfortable hotel in Bloem that is close to two of the large shopping malls and the University. The rooms are updated with cozy linens, large flatscreen televisions and wood flooring. They have secure parking, free internet access, and a fantastic breakfast buffet. Overall, the staff was helpful. I thought that I had left something in my room... More
