This 3-star hotel is centrally situated a mere 1.2 km from the large public plaza "Hoffman Square". The Sacred Heart Cathedral Catholic Church is within 20 minutes' walk of the President in Bloemfontein. Guests might as well visit Hamilton Park, which is approximately 500 metres away. Families travelling to Bloemfontein will enjoy being within a 10-minute drive of the 15-hectare Bloemfontein Zoo. For those travelling from afar, Bram Fischer International airport is 15 minutes' drive away.

Review by hotel critic
The building has a charming old-world allure, yet it's hard not to notice it's in dire need of refreshing. Check-in was smooth, and staff friendliness was a pleasant surprise, but the overall experience felt a bit off for a hotel marketed as a 4-star. My room was clean and had a lovely view, which I appreciated. The torn lace curtains and musty bed cover didn't quite scream luxury. Free Wi-Fi was a plus, yet I wished the upgrade efforts encompassed more than just the common areas-a full renovation is overdue. Dining left something to be desired; the service was slow, and basic items were unavailable. With basic amenities like laundry and a bar, the hotel may appeal to budget-conscious travelers, but be prepared for trade-offs. If you're seeking a balance of luxury and value, this might not be the best fit.
