Horst (8/5): Angenehme Unterkunft in der Stadtmitte - Die Pension ist sehr schön gelegen, an einer ruhigen Straße in der Nähe der Stadtmitte. Wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten in einem sehr geräumigen Zimmer und Bad. Das Frühstück hat unserem Bedarf entsprochen. Es war nicht ganz leicht, das Nightingale zu finden. Google maps lokalisiert es einen Block entfernt, ich bin Umwege gefahren. Aber das ist ein kleines Problem, das sich zudem rasch lösen lässt.

Serame (8/5): The staff at this location is super friendly, professional and very helpful. - The place is nice and located in a quiet location, the rooms were neat and the staff is very friendly. The guests should be made aware in advance that the place is Halal and they don’t serve things like bacon at breakfast but a substitute called Macon.
Leone and Wollie (10/5): - The friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms and location just 8km from our venue are major plus points. We will definitely be comming back. The breakfasts were great, I only wish the menu rated the items that had strong spices.
Brian (10/5): -

Michael (10/5): Friendly staff, comfortable room and great location - Room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. There was a fridge, microwave and kettle for use and lots of cupboard space if needed. There is free Wi-Fi that works really well and TV if that is something you would like.
Leon (9/5): Great value for money. - Loved it. NA.
Johann (9/5): -
Gomes (10/5): Great Value and very pleasing stay. - the room stay was great. easy check in. shower was amazing. hot water a fantastic pressure. Breakfast was exceptional. Well-done We would definitely return. if your not showering and the room next door is, its very loud. obviously its the pressure through the pipes. Beds were hard but this is just a personal preference.
Othilia (10/5): BEAUTIFUL - From the moment we arrived, this guesthouse exceeded all expectations. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully maintained. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible attention to detail and warm, welcoming service. It was freezing when we checked in, and to our surprise, the staff had already placed hot water bottles in our beds – such a thoughtful and comforting touch. Every part of our stay felt personal and cared for. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, making it easy to relax and feel at home. This is truly top-tier hospitality. I can’t recommend this place enough and will absolutely be coming back. If you’re looking for comfort, charm, and service that goes above and beyond – this is it.
Lebohang (9/5): Our stay was good - The bed was big enough and the bonus for us was the fitted electric heater which made our lives much easier. The room was also clean and the sheets were also clean, an extra blanket was provided for. Cutlery was also sufficient in the room. So generally, we were pleased with what we received given the price we paid. Not that I did not like it, however, I would recommend that different menu for "take away" breakfast be changed so that it can still fulfil its purpose. We received 1 fruit, 1 muffin and 1 energy bar. Perhaps a croissant our sandwich will do instead of a muffin I think.
Deon (8/5): -
Botha (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. What's not to like?
Mota (10/5): Exceptional - The property was easy to find. The staff were friendly and professional, the place was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was included. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely be coming back. Gravel parking
Sam (7/5): - Very Friendly staff. Our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, and the pricing was very reasonable, however, I have stayed at several different guesthouses in Bloemfontein during the past few years and Nightingale is according to my opinion not a 4 star. No water or tissues in the room. I have had a bigger variety breakfast at other 3 star facilities. Outdated DSTV. I write this as an approvement and are not trying to criticise the guesthouse.
