Despite the terrible effects of load shedding, staff were doing their best and very quite friendly and helpful. But it was my impression that like their surroundings, BON Hotel is dying, and cutting back on lighting, water, and amenities in the rooms is their attempt to survive, but it doesn't of course add anything to the stay. I felt bad for the friendly staff that do work hard to keep the whole thing afloat but Bloomfontein is in a sad state of degeneration, much like the majority of South Africa.

Not so bad hotel
Overall good hotel, not in an idea area but not much to complain about. The service could be better, and there is too much noise around the area.

Basic but comfortable
We stayed one night with the whole family on route from Cape Town to the Kruger Park. It was a comfortable enough hotel and conveniently located. On the negative side. The walls are paper thin, so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs.

On arrival the booking was not paid which was the error of the person capturing the booking.Thus causing a delay to check in. Receptionist at the time was very kind and helpfull. The rest of the stay was peaceful and we had a good rest after a very busy day in Bloemfontein.

The price I paid for the lovely room was in fact unbelievably low, thanks to Expedia. I wished I had booked for more days there than I did. The room was befitting of a King. It made me feel big in my boots. There was no negative feelings about the surrounding area especially since I was ferried to the doorstep on arrival and whisked away by the hotel's shuttle service at departure time. The bed was just what I needed after an extended travel time to massage my weary back and in fact, the whole body..

4/10 Fair

Never again. I chose the hotel because of their business and government worker clientele. I expected a professional standard and a peaceful, quiet place to work. I received the opposite. Albeit a large group of young school boys were staying at the hotel, but doors slamming, running and yelling in the hallway only quieted down at 23:00 and began again before 5:00. I could neither work or even get a decent nights sleep. My requests to move to a different floor was ignored (surely an upper floor room was available, the restaurant was deserted and I saw very few guests above the age of 12.) A security guard was sent up twice to quiet the boys. He proceeded to knock loudly on doors and walk noisily up an down the hall, but the resulting silence lasted about 90 seconds after he left. The staff seemed very kind and concerned, but ineffective. A simple policy to isolate groups that would likely be problematic with noise seems a logical solution? Or a “quiet” floor possibly? I didn’t arrive with blue flashing lights, but as a paying guest, did expect the common courtesy of peace and quiet.

Bloem trip
Very clean spacious room with very good service. Only problem was the noise in the hall 12 o'clock at night. Could not sleep after that again. Also parking gate did not want to open on entering.
