Philippolis Hotel is a beautiful local hotel with old world charm. The rooms are neat and clean with tasteful decor and a nice big bathroom. We spent the night in room 6 with the two single beds as on the website. There is also secure parking on site with a gate and gate guard. There is also a characterful bar in the hotel where you can relax after a long day on the road! The dinner was top notch! We had a great stay!

Clean, fresh linen. Well-fried meat (extra). Poor communication around relevant information. Safety is a concern and noise at night.
Rondavel was clean, linen fresh. Dinner was nice, well-roasted meat. Poor communication regarding condition of the access roads, load shedding schedule, procedure to order dinner, availability of wifi - generally just a bad reception and passing on of necessary information. Generator runs from practically right next to the chalet until 11pm - too late after a long day on the road. Neighbors make noise until very late and the traffic in front of the hotel is very disturbing. Safety is a concern - unknown man hid behind our cottage while we were packing the car the next morning - looking for an unguarded moment where the car is open. My husband came across him.

Philippolis Hotel is a real gem that we would never have discovered if we hadn't strayed off the beaten path! The owners got the old building to regain its glory years. The meals there are a must and the hospitality something special. Although it was very cold, the electric blanket on the bed was almost unnecessary due to the quality duvet and blankets.

Small town with neat, clean accommodation at reasonable rates.
Beautiful Hotel and the room was clean and tidy. Ian and his wife were very hospitable and we also had a very nice meal at the restaurant and a drink in the bar. Definitely value for money. The road, like all the roads in the Free State, is a challenge, but we were also warned in advance by Ian to drive slowly. All negative feedback we can give is that it was very noisy in the evening (but I have to add that it was the day before Christmas) and many of the people in the town were perhaps happy. I believe that under other circumstances it is not so noisy. I can definitely recommend the hotel. Please support the small towns.

Beste Tania,
Baie dankie vir u resensie en u besoek by Philippolis Hotel.
Ja, ongelukkig ly baie van die dorpies en stede in die Vrystaat (of elders) onder die wanadministrasie van die paaie. Ons is altyd bekommerd oor die welstand van ons gaste bedags en veral saans en beveel aan dat daar te alle tye versigtig bestuur moet word. Plaaslike inwoners en boere probeer vir Philippolis inkomste lok en vul slaggate met wat beskikbaar is tot daar weer ongelukke op die N1 plaasvind en die verkeer en Mangaan trokke weer herlei word deur die dorp. Ons maak alweer planne hier.
Die Hotelle op die platteland was en is steeds die middelpunt van `n dorp en ongelukkig in die hoofstraat. Ander hotelle is gelee naby trein stasies. Verbygangers is maar geneig om met spesiale dae die gees van die dag te vier as hulle verby loop of ry op pad in of uit die dorp.
Ons plattelandse dorpies waardeer elke besoeker se belangstelling in ons dorp en sy geskiedenis en hoop om elke besoeker weer te sien in die toekoms.
Vriendelike Philippolis groete,
Ian en Liesl

Philippolis Hotel 's response
Beste Thoria,
Dankie vir u resensie.
Ons is jammer om te verneem oor die ligging van ons instansie in Philippolis. Dit is ongelukkig die realiteit dat die toestand van die paaie en tot in stede soos Johannesburg nie op standaard is nie. En soos u tereg meld, veroorsaak dit dat die kleiner dorpies en besighede hier in Philippolis ekonomies en ook 'skuldloos' benadeel word.
Ons poog om besoekers bekend te stel aan die dorp en sy ryke geskiedenis en daarmee saam wil ons `n onvergeeflike ervaring by die Hotel bied. Ons inwoners en boere span gereeld hande saam om die paaie op te vul en ons maak weer werk daarvan in 2023. Ons dorpie is vir ons belangrik en ons hoop om u weer hier by Philippolis Hotel te kan ontvang.
Philippolis groete,

Philippolis is a small town but the people there have big hearts. This was our 2nd visit to the town although it is actually not on the main routes at all. The road there goes through Trompsburg and is narrow with many potholes. The surroundings are beautiful and the silence is what you need sometimes. The hotel is over 140 years old and improvements have already been made and are still being planned. The room (no 6) was beautifully redone and we had everything we needed. Dinner was served in the main building and beautifully prepared. There were also coffee and tea facilities in the room which is always welcome.

Clean and tidy overnight place.
We had a pleasant experience at the Philippolis hotel. The owners are very friendly and dinner in the restaurant was deliciously prepared. Rooms are very clean and tidy with very good quality towels and linen. Coffee and tea facilities are also available. The rooms are terribly cold. Philippolis is very cold in winter (minus temperatures). Fortunately, there were electric blankets on all the beds that could keep us warm. I would recommend a heater in the room and some rugs on the tiles to break the cold. The beds are very comfortable and at least we slept well and were well rested for our journey the next day. The hotel is going through a systematic restoration process, so there are areas that look old or dilapidated. The owners have been put back a bit due to the Covid restrictions. However, this does not take anything away from the good quality service and rooms. This is definitely a "diamond in the rough". Pay them a visit, even if it's just at the restaurant. Delicious food is served.

Always nice to stay in the hotel.
Food is always very tasty and the atmosphere and rooms are always lovely. This was my second time staying at the hotel. The owners are always friendly, considerate and make you feel at ease! It's very safe with parking behind near our room. Lawn and garden are also always maintained so it's lovely to linger outside barefoot after a long hot day while we wait for our delicious barbecue.

Soos my 5 star rating hierbo - dit was werklik tops. Ek dink daar is min plekke wat kant kers-vashou by hulle.

Like my 5 star rating above - it was truly top notch. I think there are few places that can hold a candle to them.
The restrictions regarding the covid-19 epidemic didn't even hinder the visit at all - the people overwhelmed us with hospitality and really went the extra mile to make our visit enjoyable.

Most delicious rump steak, lovely pool, very friendly owners and ideally located.
This was the best decision we could have made, apart from a great night's rest and the most delicious dinner and breakfast, the host and hostess were all so friendly and chatty. It really felt like we were at home. The best overnight place ever to make your drive to the Cape or back so worthwhile.

Affordable, clean and tidy accommodation.
Our stay at Philippolis Hotel was better than expected. The pool was a relief after a long day on the road and dinner was delicious, prices are very reasonable, and we hope to stay for a few days soon, rather than just an overnight stop. The room was neat and clean and far exceeded my expectations for a country hotel.

I was very pleased with the service! I didn't expect that. The room was perfect for us and specially chosen for us because we have a 6 month old baby, away from the other guests, and with a bath. The kitchen staff were even kind enough to let us use the hotel's microwave for the baby's bottles. I will definitely stay there again.

The hotel is easy to find with very friendly service, good food at the restaurant area and very nice clean rooms.
The hotel is in a beautiful old building. Some of the common areas may be a bit dated, but the rooms themselves are beautifully new and clean. The service was very good and everyone who works there is very friendly. We ate at the restaurant that night and the service was fast and the food was delicious. We had a family room and the layout of the room was maybe a bit funny, there aren't really doors or a curtain between the two rooms or even in front of the shower. Would still definitely recommend the hotel though.

Alle gaste was tevrede en het hulle self hier by ons geniet. Ons besef dat ons nie aan elke persoon se verwagting kan voldoen nie en hoop dat ons in die toekoms daarop kan verbeter. Ons Hotel is geleë in die oudste nedersetting van die Vrystaat. Ons dorpie is bitter klein maar ons gemeenskap het `n hart van goud. Voorspoed vir 2019!
