Franklin View Guesthouse

Location was great, lovely neighbourhood, near restaurants and supermarket and the outlook from the room showing the view above Bloem was beautiful. Gustavv junior was so lovely and accommodating and we were served a delicious breakfast. Safe off-street parking.

The staff were friendly and the room was clean

There were so many stairs to get to our room. The furniture in the room was dated.

Schönes Zimmer in einer Ruhigen Gegend, schöne Aussicht und ein leckeres, wechselndes Frühstück. War jetzt zum 5ten mal hier

Alles Gut, kommes deswegen immer wieder

I have stayed at the Franklin View Guesthouse year after year and will continue to do so it is always consistently excellent.

I love staying at Franklin View. It is always home away from home for me - and I travel alot. Gustav and the team are always so cheerful and happy to see us! The rooms are large and so clean!

Not a thing to dislike - i honestly cannot fault the service in a single way

Excellent

Great hospitality

Wifi not stable

The friendly service and the views

The view

Everything, the room was amazing, the view was amazing, our hosts were amazing

Nothing. It was incredible

The views.

Nothing.

The breakfast was absolutely excellent! Fresh, tasty, and thoughtfully prepared. A simple but perfect start to the day. The location is ideal, quiet and relaxing while still being close to everything you need. The stunning views really make it special and add to the overall experience.

I loved everything about my experience here. The only downside was that I couldn’t stay longer, it was that good!

Location was amazing…spectacular view, good secure parking, very well marked. Made finding it easy.

Nothing…

Probably the guesthouse with the best view in Bloemfontein. We had a very warm welcome on a cold and rainy day. Very friendly people. this is really a beautiful guesthouse. The breakfast were tastefully presented and delicious. We loved the place and will definitely stay there again.

Nothing really, if I MUST find anything, i would prefer a showerhead which deliver more water, but that is just a personal preference, and in this water-scarce country its not something to say out loud.

The view and breakfast.

Nothing.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und netter Kontakt zum Gastgeber. Ich hatte ein geräumiges Zimmer mit toller Aussicht. Die Unterkunft bietet eine ruhige und entspannte Atmosphäre, das Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen. Nach dem Check-out hatte ich die Möglichkeit, noch etwas länger zu bleiben, um die Zeit bis zu meinem späten Abflug zu überbrücken. Vielen Dank.

Awesome views . Comfortable rooms.

Everything met my expectations.

The view and the room was amazing we loved it.

Lovely view Very accomodating/ friendly host

Lots of Steps. Lacking some maintenance and attention to detail. Only a screen wall separates the bathroom.

It’s the perfect location. The view Is breathtaking.

I couldn’t fault it much but I wish the toilet was more private.

Friendly, peaceful atmosphere. Very comfortable bed in a spacious room. Beautiful view of Bloemfontein. Breakfast was excellent. The Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Super nettes und schönes Guesthouse. Total nette Gastgeber und echt gutes Preis/ Leistungs- Verhältnis

The owners welcomed me on arrival and took me on a tour around their property, the staff is friendly and soft spoken. They always ensured that everything is okay. The place is very neat and quiet.

Exzellent,freshly made and perfect served

The driveway up the hill was quite exiting, but we madeit - even driving down.

Excellent service

The view and Gustav is a great host.

I liked everything

The view from the top of Naval Hill was spectacular. I will commend the breakfast given to us, despite the difficulties they had the power outage. I would stay there again.

I can't really fault anything.

Excellent service and great clean accommodation

Everything was just perfect, Enjoyed our time staying at Franklin view

The owner and staff are always so welcoming and accommodating. super views, superb breakfast. I will again be back!

Uitstekend ontbijt, ruime en schone kamers, zeer vriendelijke eigenaar die erg behulpzaam was met alles!

Amazing views from the patio and friendly hosts. Close to everything and lovely breakfast.

Our room was very spacious and the hosts made us feel very welcome. The guest house is situated in a beautiful yet quiet area. The breakfast was delicious and the view over Bloemfontein is spectacular.

Everything was great, no complaints!

Great location with a superb view Gustav was an amazing host and made our stay even more pleasurable.

Nothing to complain about

I have stayed before, it is an excellent bnb.

It would have been nice to have more TV channels but I watched the news and it was enough.

A spacious comfortable room, with bar fridge, TV, sofa, bath and shower ensuite, multiple cupboards, ironing board, iron, and coffee/tea making facilities. A welcome air conditioner! Filtered water in the fridge. A brilliant view over the hills and parts of Bloemfontein in a quiet setting. Good security and on-site parking. Plenty of seating. Good communication with the hosts prior to the stay, and a tasty breakfast. Location is near good restaurants suggested by the hosts. Good value for money.

An incredibly steep and bendy driveway, probably to enable the view. It has been fitted with a traffic light, which helps remove the lack of visibility around the bend. Not a suitable place for anyone who is infirm or disabled due to several flights of stairs. For our taste, the bed was quite hard.

The breakfast was amazing and the view beautiful.

I am a coffee snob and would have loved a plunger in the room.

Awesome spot. Great breakfast. Great hosts. Very friendly and very nice place to stay in Bloemfontein. Would definitely highly recommend it and will definitely be sleeping over there again when we travel through Bloemfontein.

Nothing we didn't like.

Amazing, amazing stay. Thank you for your kindness and making us feel at home.

We were blown away with this beautiful place! The check in was effortless and well organized, Gustav was so welcoming and very pleasant. Location was great, Gustav guided us to a lovely Italian restaurant for dinner just around the corner. Room is spacious and bed is comfortable. The view is spectacular and the breakfast was delicious. All in all a great experience and we will for sure be back.

Nothing at all. Maybe breakfast could be until a bit later, but really nothing to improve:)

Franklin view is definitely the best place to start the year ahead. So much peace and tranquility, I loved Gustav most of all, he welcomed us warmly from entry everything was well organized he checked in if we were happy at all times I felt so refreshed and rebooted when I left. The breakfast was amazing My boyfriend had his own diatry requirements and the stuff went out of their way to accommodate him at breakfast. The view from the rooms is to die for the city lights at night time was amazing honestly it was heaven . For everytime I visit bloem they can definitely count on my booking my boyfriend and I even agreed to have our honeymoon there.

I loved everything about it

Great views from the balcony, loved the honesty bar, breakfast was lovely, the pool smalland very welcome!

navigating the route from the road was a bit confusing, luckily neighbours were kind enough to direct me ( basically - keep going up until you run out of road!)

Lugar calmo e sossegado , boa relação preço qualidade

Atendimento , quartos , pequeno almoço Tudo

Amazing view over Bloemfontein! Nice quiet and comfortable layover in Bloemfontein. The owners were very friendly and helpful when we had a small issue with the aircon and sorted it out immediately. Had a lovely dip in the pool. The breakfast was delicious. Wouldn't recommend for small children or people with mobility issues. But definitely recommend for everyone else.

Pool was a bit tricky to get in and out of. A small step would be great.

The view

Nothing really

Exceptional location and views. The unit was very well equiped and clearly, careful and innovative thought went into the design and layout of the entire guesthouse building. Would highly recommend this guesthouse.

Very hospitable hosts, beautiful view.

Everything, especially the room size and location. Perfect!

Nothing to dislike.

Clean and Neat room! Beautiful environment with fresh air and a beautiful view! Bed and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was absolutely amazing! Way more value than what you pay for!

I didn't like paying so low for the room 😂

Location, view, staff

Not much

The owner was so welcoming. The place is so amazing ❤️

Gustav and his staff were very friendly and help full. It is a tranquil environment with a beautiful scenery.

Nothing.

The stuff. I even bought a spicy sauce

Tolles Frühstück - und weil wir zeitig weg mussten, wurde es extra früher angerichtet. Sehr ruhige und sichere Umgebung mit Privatparkplatz. Sehr netter Hotelbetreiber (Gustav).

Gustav and his wife are the best hosts. I have been booking with them for the whole year when having to go write my exams , they made sure I was comfortable, would give me juice and fruit cocktail for me to drink and eat while I study overnight. It felt like I was always going home to my other parents. I will definitely say this is the best place I’ve stayed ever since I started being a regular visitor in Bloem. The views are to die for , best rooms are the balcony ones or the double room upstairs😊

Nothing

The breakfast was perfect, I loved the hot sauce made by them...The stay was so peaceful and the place is world class

Nothing, all was perfect and also love the privacy

Nettes Personal, guter Aufenthalt

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The beds are super comfy, the breakfast was delicious and prepared with love and kindness. Great host Gustav

The rooms are very small, but that was my fault. Look at the details before you book. We normally enjoy more spacious rooms.

Thank you for your friendly staff. The room was clean and tidy and the breakfast was excellent. We will definitely visit you again. The view is amazing!

This guesthouse was very central to our activities. Reception was friendly and efficient. Breakfasts very well done. The view from the balcony is beautiful. I would recommend this guesthouse to any person going to Bloemfontein

Easy to locate via GPS. The view from our bedroom window was exceptional and the bedroom was super spacious. My partner loved it but unfortunately, we couldn't extend our stay because it was booked out for the following night. The host, Gustav waited up for us past the check-in time and even assisted with getting a place to grab a late dinner.
