40 guests' feedbackLovely as always! Warm fires and kind, helpful staff.
Thank you very much for taking such good care of our grandmother and grandfather.
My son and I stayed at Hobbit Boutique Hotel during our visit for school commitments. We were kindly received and the rooms were very comfortable. It had been the perfect place to sleep for a busy weekend.
Very clean and tidy place. Breakfast was delicious. Our puppy was very well received. Will definitely stay there again.
Clean and tidy. It was very nice, thank you.
The staff at the Hobbit hotel are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The facilities are clean and comfortable. The hotel feels luxurious and homely. We will definitely go back again.
Beautifully furnished and peaceful. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. I will definitely stay over again.
Every request was immediately addressed and resolved. Every member of staff has gone out of his/her way to please you, the guest, whether it's poor TV channels or sparking a child's interest in Tolkien. If we ever have to stay in Bloemfontein again, Hobbit Boutique Hotel is our choice.
Good location and overall a very pleasant experience. Will definitely visit again and recommend.
Very neat and beautiful place. Quiet environment and very nice breakfast.
Absolutely delightful oasis.
Friendly and good service. Close to all of the attractions. Safe and neat in a quiet area.
Had a fantastic time.
Will always stay there when I visit Bloemfontein. The receptionists were very helpful and went out of their way to make me feel welcome.
Wonderful atmosphere, clean and neat. Great breakfast!
Ons reis baie en slaap baie oor, maar hierdie was uniek, bekostigbaar en die diens was perfek! Ontbyt was heerlik. As jy ooit in Bloem is bespreek definitief hier!
See stars.
Kids really enjoyed the Hobbit theme and were constantly on Google to find out more about Tolkien. Hobbit is also very well located, rooms very big and clean and breakfast was very nice. Would highly recommend.
Neat and clean, slept well. Only negative comments are due to the receptionist who was hanging out with her boyfriend at the pool and in the guest area.
The staff is very friendly and the decor and furniture very cute.
Breakfast and its service was great.
Beautiful guest house in a central location. Very nice service. However, outside room was very cold as the door did not close properly. Electric blanket was lovely and breakfast top notch. Will stay there again.
The place is beautiful but I feel it needs maintenance. The swimming pool and the garden can look better if they are serviced. The air-con in the room was not working. There was only 1 small soap in the bathroom, no shower caps, lotion or even the toilet spray. More channels on TV would be appreciated. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very friendly reception and service throughout. Very neat and clean. Delicious breakfast.
Friendly service and a warm atmosphere. The staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
It was a wonderful experience. The decor and wooden floors were something special. Better than your everyday drab guesthouses. Will definitely recommend.
Beautiful rooms, excellent food and exceptional friendliness and helpfulness!
Only thing that bothers is the misconception that the hotel has anything to do with Tolkien, as well as the fact that it is not as old as you think and there is no ghost.
Staff were friendly and the service excellent. Our room was spacious, clean and neat and perfect for traveling with small children. Will definitely stay here again.
Hobbit is tastefully furnished with antique furniture and decor. It's clean, quiet and safe for you and your vehicle. Would stay there again anytime and recommend it.
The hotel's people are exceptionally friendly and helpful.
I arrived to a dark room in an untidy garden. Although they obviously want to keep the antique feel, my room was just old. The curtain was off the rail and not rehung. The drawer fell out of the bathroom cupboard broken when I looked for soap - there was no soap, shampoo, body lotion etc. in my room. I had to go and ask and was then given a small bar of soap only. The cupboard door handle fell off when I tried to open it to hang my clothes. The matrasses were old and rested on a piece of plywood and the carpets were in need of replacement. There was no hairdryer. One would expect better from any establishment, but definitely from a 4 star hotel. Also, when I commented at 12.30 that my room had not yet been serviced, I was told that there were 11 other rooms to do as well.
I was disappointed that the swimming pool was green and understood that dinner was available on request, it wasn't. There was a party or something in the street in front of our window and we didn't get a lot of sleep. They played loud music and yelled at each other in the road until the early hours of the morning.
The restoration is extremely poorly done and very unprofessional. Although the rooms and bedding were clean, the appearance of the peeling wallpaper and amateurish woodwork repairs was stunted and untidy. I could not use the bar because people were sitting there smoking. I am clearly a non-smoker.
We were generously received and pleasantly surprised with the old-world atmosphere.
Antique furniture and decor make it very interesting. The rooms are comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful. A suggestion I would like to make is that a better covering be placed at the room door window. The corridor light that is on all night makes it very light in the room.
More 3 star than 4 star. Maintenance is required.
Very friendly service, yet the guest house is old which means that the bathroom in particular is rather ordinary. The rooms are not soundproof and our room faced an indoor roof, which was noisy.
