It was okay.

It was a beautiful venue, however I feel that the communication was poor. I was not informed of breakfast being served, where, or when, and only found out upon check out when they tried to put some of the leftovers together upon hearing I had not had breakfast. They initially put me in a standard room, while I had paid for a deluxe room. They eventually moved me (way after check-in) when I mentioned it to the receptionist. The images on the website did not match the rooms they put me in. There wasn't even a window in the first room. The "deluxe room" they put me in had electrical issues, which I mentioned to the concierge who assisted me with my bags. The bulbs were flickering, and they said they would get an electrician, but nobody ever came to fix the issue. There were no plug points by the kettle, so I had to plug it in on the floor by my bedside table. There is no mirror with an electrical point. I had to take the mirror off the bathroom wall to use it on the bed in order to do my hair. The place was beautiful, but with these inconveniences, I was not pleased with what I paid.

Reception was not informed about which room we should stay.

Heater in room was broken, TV didn't work, wardrobe falling apart. Reception was not informed about which room we had to stay, breakfast is excused because of Covid 19 but feel reception could have known better, we stayed in standard room.

Lieflike verblyf met pragtige tuine. Alhoewel daar ‘n troue was, het mens geen geraas gehoor nie. Ontbyt was heerlik en algehele diens baie goed.

Skoon, netjies en vriendelik, en boonop alles veilig.

Ek het daar gewoon vir 3 nagte. Elke oggend se ontbyt was smaaklik en die plek is skoon. Ek sou wel 'n tafel in my kamer wou gehad het, asook n klein yskas.

One of the worst places I ever stayed.

Upon arrival with my 12 year old son, we noticed a lot of parties going on at the venue. The receptionist assured us that it would be finished by 22:00 as per Hotel policy. At 03:00 am I desperately tried to phone management to come and help with all the noise. No one answered the phone. Taxis with very loud people. People screaming and shouting. In the morning when we arrived for breakfast at 07:00 as was told to us upon arrival we were sent away to our room because of a function in the dining area. We received the most terrible breakfast and had to eat on our beds. Will definitely not return to this place. There were other residents also very unhappy and did not even want the terrible breakfast.

Good day Larelle, thank you for your feedback. Can you please contact us directly as we would like to get in contact to discuss your feedback.

Rustige en pragtige tuin omgewing in die stad.

Ons het 'n vertoning in die Ticketpro Dome gaan kyk en die nag by The Garden Venue Boutique Hotel oorgeslaap. Die verblyf daar het ons oornag reis van Bloemfontein af net soveel meer spesiaal en onvergeetlik gemaak. Die Dome is minder as 4 km van The Garden Venue af en baie toeganklik wat dit ideaal maak vir verblyf wanneer mens vertonings daar gaan kyk. Die personeel was almal deur die bank professioneel en baie vriendelik. Kamers en tuine was pragtig netjies en die ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike ervaring!

Quiet and beautiful garden environment in the city.

We went to see a show in the Ticketpro Dome and spent the night at The Garden Venue Boutique Hotel. Staying there made our overnight trip from Bloemfontein that much more special and memorable. The Dome is less than 4 km from The Garden Venue and very accessible, making it ideal for accommodation when going to see shows there. The staff throughout the bank were professional and very friendly. Rooms and gardens were beautifully neat and the breakfast was top notch. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience!

Awesome maal honderd!

Van die sekuriteit, gasvrou, skoonmakers tot kelners was professioneel, behulpsaam en vriendelik. Alhoewel hulle 5 funksies vir die dag gehad het, het hulle uit hulle pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel en na al ons behoeftes om te sien. Daar was selfs ekstra komberse op elke bed toe ons terugkom van die mall. Gaan vir seker terug.

Awesome times hundred!

From the security, hostess, cleaners to the waiters were professional, helpful and friendly. Even though they were catering to 5 functions, they still went out of their way to make us feel welcome and attend to all our needs. There were even extra blankets on each bed when we returned from the mall. Would definitely go again.

Mooi plek.

Baie vriendelike dametjie wat ons verwelkom het, die eienaar was net baie ongeskik en glo as hy 'n besigheid in die industrie wil hê moet hy ten minste 'n mens vriendelik kan verwelkom. Kamers pragtig, dalk net 'n ekstra kombersie in die winter sal lekker gewees het. Ontbyt was uit die boeke. Dalk meer aanwysings na waar wat is. Overall baie nice. Ons besit self 'n hotel en verstaan die harde werk wat hier ingaan. Soos genoem, die eienaar moet dalk net nie kliënte weghou deur sy first impressions nie.

Nice place.

Very friendly lady who welcomed us, the owner was just very unfit and believes that if he wants to have a business in the industry he should at least be able to welcome someone kindly. Rooms beautiful, maybe just an extra blanket in winter would have been nice. Breakfast was off the books. Maybe more directions to where what is. Overall very nice. We own a hotel ourselves and understand the hard work that goes into this. As mentioned, the owner may just not keep customers away by his first impressions.

The place as a whole is beautiful but the cleaners do a horrble job.

The cleaning was my biggest issue. I could have overlooked the DStv not working but the toilet was extremely dirty and the floor was not wiped properly. Their establishment has the potential to be wonderful if they monitor the cleaners or hire new ones.

Looks can be deceiving.

There was a wedding booked so we had no option to sit in the bar or outside and have a drink. We weren't informed of this. Cables for lights were damaged and open. The kettle had to be plugged in on the floor as there was no outlet. Bedside tables had lamps but nowhere to plug them in as there was no outlet. Only 1 chair for the TV as the TV could not turn and could only be watched from that 1 chair.

Vuil.

Glad nie wat ons verwag het nie, wel naby aan die Pro Ticket Dome, maar oor naweke waar daar troues gehou word gaan jy definitief nie 'n rustige nag se slaap in kry nie. Plek was vuil, badkamer se plafon was gemuf. Sal dit nie aanraai vir enige vriende en familie nie.

Dirty.

Not at all what we expected but close to the Pro Ticket Dome. On weekends they have wedding and you will definitely not have a restful night's sleep. Place was dirty, bathroom's ceiling had mould. Would not recommend it to any friends or family.
