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 > [Sofitel London St James](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-St-James.h856595.Hotel-Information) > > [Piccolo Paradiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Massa-Lubrense-Hotels-Piccolo-Paradiso.h2541471.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bonham Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Bonham-Hotel.h115961.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Playa de Palma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Occidental-Playa-De-Palma.h1094365.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kanali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Preveza-Hotels-Hotel-Kanali.h35603363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Badalona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Badalona-Hotels.d180241.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Midtown Manhattan/Penn Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-New-York-Midtown-ManhattanPenn-Station.h5570310.Hotel-Information) > > [Limak Arcadia Sport Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Hotels-Limak-Arcadia-Sport-Resort-All-Inclusive.h10001750.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Virgina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Virgina.h2685982.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Llanidloes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanidloes-Hotels.d6144720.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Melia Hotels in Southern Switzerland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southern-Switzerland-Hotels-Melia.0-0-d6052093--bMelia.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Orles Barn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ross-On-Wye-Hotels-ORLES-BARN.h33640277.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d6069845-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Kastela (SPU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/spu/dublin-to-split) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Beef Island (EIS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mia/eis/miami-to-tortola) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Lisbon (LIS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/lis/manchester-to-lisbon) > > [Qatar Airways Hounslow (LHR) to Kathmandu (KTM) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/qatar-airways-from-heathrow-to-tribhuvan-intl/qr/lhr/ktm) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Idaho Falls (IDA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/ida/manchester-to-idaho-falls) > > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Luton (LTN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/ltn/aberdeen-to-london) ### Packages > [Budapest Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest.d179994.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
