Aptly described online by one reviewer as “a hidden gem”, Florentia Guesthouse in Bloemfontein offers value for money and friendly, welcoming staff. Team members went out of their way to make the check-in process easy for Team #FinishTime, which is always greatly appreciated after a long day on the road or out timing a race.
Florentia Guesthouse offers all the amenities you would expect, including WiFi, a full English/Irish breakfast and free private parking. The team has also introduced special touches to make life even more convenient. For example, they will provide packed lunches for guests to take on excursions or – in our cases – to a race!
The rooms were extremely comfortable and ours boasted air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. A lovely unexpected touch in our room was a patio, which made a great place to relax after a hard day’s work.

If we had to choose three reasons why Florentia Guesthouse should be the base for your next trip to Bloemfontein, they would be:
- The friendly staff who accommodated our every request.
- The attractive settings and lovely neighbourhood.
- The comfortable beds and rooms
We can definitely recommend Florentia Guesthouse for your next trip to Bloemfontein – whether it’s just for an overnight trip or a few days of well-deserved relaxation.
