"I love spacious rooms and Adelante fits within that. Leaving aside the space issue the room was homely, a coffee table and two sofas. I however like a bath as opposed to a shower. This was the only sticky issue for me. The Lodge is located near a mall and therefore restaurants are around the corner. Tha was a big plus for me. "

Premier Splendid Inn Bloemfontein

Premier Splendid Inn Bloemfontein

10/10 Excellent
"Every single staff member was professional, friendly and welcoming. Our room was spotless and spacious with a comfy bed, just what was needed after being on the road. Breakfast was a feast, an array of dishes to choose from, and all beautifully presented. We made use of room service for dinner and the meal arrived promptly, warm and tasty. Highly recommended if you’re stopping over in Bloemfontein. "
