Hopefully complimentary airport shuttle and breakfast will be offered in future. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Lianne 3 Dec 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 traveller 14 Oct 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 traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 6 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carlyon Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Austell-Hotels-Carlyon-Bay-Hotel.h2175669.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Brimington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brimington-Hotels.d6342170.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Crown House Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Crown-House-Apartment.h22406353.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Saadiyat Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saadiyat-Island-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6268739-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Flixton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Flixton-Hotels.d553248622898693808.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Aurelian Wall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aurelian-Wall-Hotels.0-l553248621532499693-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Grand-Fiesta-Americana-Vallarta-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h11547659.Hotel-Information) > > [Lligwy Beach Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dulas-Hotels-Lligwy-Beach-Cottage.h44456792.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cathedral Quarter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cathedral-Quarter-Belfast-Hotels.0-n6176745-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Costa del Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Del-Sol-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d11102-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Farnham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Farnham-Apartments.d4638-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Porta Genova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porta-Genova-Milan-Hotels.0-n6220429-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hostels Craigavon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Craigavon-Hostels.d4530-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Malmaison](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malmaison-Hotels.0-l553248621532504362-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Parks Lake District National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-District-National-Park-Holiday-Parks.d11370-aaHolidayParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Hurghada (HRG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/hrg/newcastle-to-hurghada) > > [Flights from Chantilly (IAD) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/iad/mco/washington-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Jabalpur (JLR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/jlr/london-to-jabalpur) ### Activities ### Packages > [Salamis Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salamis.d6151222.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Iowa Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Iowa.d217.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Malia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malia.d6340064.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Cranham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cranham.dx3000443744) ---
