Sentraal geleë, warm en gemaklike bed, lekker ontbyt.

Ek en my seun het tydens ons besoek vir skoolverpligtinge by Hobbit Boutique Hotel oorgeslaap. Ons was vriendelik ontvang en die kamers was baie gemaklik. Dit was die perfekte slaapplek vir 'n besige naweek gewees.

Baie aangename ervaring.

Elke versoek is dadelik aangespreek en opgelos. Elke personeellid het uit sy/haar pad gegaan om jou, die gas, tevrede te stel, of dit nou swak TV-kanale is, of om 'n kind se belangstelling in Tolkien aan te spoor. As ons ooit weer in Bloemfontein moet bly, is Hobbit Boutique Hotel ons keuse.

Baie lekker gastehuis met interessante geskiedenis. Diens was flink en vriendelik. Hotel ook baie goed geleë vir aandetes in die omgewing.

Kinders het die Hobbit-tema baie geniet en was heeltyd op Google om meer uit te vind oor Tolkien. Hobbit is ook baie goed geleë, kamers baie groot en skoon en ontbyt was baie lekker. Sal ten sterkste aanbeveel.

Thank you for your review. We allow our reception staff to have a visitor over the quiet periods as they work long hours. Did they misbehave or what exactly did they do? It is important that we know otherwise we will stop them from having friends over. I do apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Value for money, but budget accommodation.

The service was very good, as well as the people very friendly and helpful. As for the accommodation itself, there is a lack of attention to detail. The rooms did not have coffee and the curtains did not fit the windows. Some of the blinds in the bathrooms are broken and cannot close properly. The garden is unkempt and the pool dirty. It's the little things that make you go back, and although the people are very nice, the hotel is a bit neglected.

Pragtige gastehuis, kort net bietjie opknapping hier en daar.

Pragtige gastehuis in 'n sentrale ligging. Baie gawe diens. Buitekamer was egter baie koud aangesien die deur nie behoorlik toegemaak het nie. Elektriese kombers was heerlik en ontbyt uit die boonste rakke. Sal weer daar bly.

Beautiful place, just needs maintaining.

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.

Enigste ding wat pla is die miskonsepsie dat die hotel enige iets te doen het met Tolkien, asook die feit dat dit nie so oud is soos wat mens dink nie en daar is geen spook nie.

I was extremely disappointed and cannot believe they have 4 stars.

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.

Slegte nagrus weens kabaal oorkant die pad.

Ek was teleurgesteld dat die swembad vuil en groen was, en het verstaan aandete is beskikbaar op versoek, dit was nie. Daar was 'n partytjie of iets in die straat reg voor ons kamervenster, en ons het maar min slaap ingekry. Mense het harde musiek gespeel en op mekaar geskree in die pad tot vroegoggend-ure.

I was disappointed that the swimming pool was green and understood that dinner was available on request, it wasn't.

They played loud music and yelled at each other in the road until the early hours of the morning.

Die hotel het baie onderhoud nodig.

Die restourasie is uiters swak gedoen en baie onprofessioneel. Alhoewel die kamers en die beddegoed skoon was, het die voorkoms van die plakpapier wat afskilfer en houtwerk-herstelwerk wat amateuragtig gedoen is, afgerem en onnet voorgekom. Die kroeg kon ek nie gebruik nie omdat persone daar gesit en rook het. Ek is duidelik 'n nie-roker.

The hotel needs a lot of maintenance.

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.

Interessante dekor en vriendelike diens.

Antieke meubels en dekor maak dit baie interessant. Die kamers is gerieflik en ontbyt was heerlik. Personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. 'n Voorstel wat ek graag sal wil maak is dat daar 'n beter bedekking by die kamerdeur venster geplaas word. Die ganglig wat aan is die hele aand maak dit baie lig in die kamer.

Hoewel baie geskiedkundig, sal ek nie weer daar tuisgaan nie.

Baie vriendelike diens, tog is die gastehuis oud wat meebring dat veral die badkamer taamlik ordinêr is. Die kamers is nie klankdig nie en ons kamer het op 'n binnenshuise dak uitgekyk, wat raserig was.

Although very historic, I will not be staying there again.

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.
