Hokahanya Inn & Conference Centre occupies a position on Airport Road in Maseru, placing it within easy reach of Moshoeshoe I International Airport and the city's commercial district. The property has built a steady reputation among NGO workers, government contractors, and regional business visitors who require affordable, functional accommodation without the premium pricing of Maseru's larger hotels. The name "Hokahanya" is derived from Sesotho and broadly translates as "a meeting place" — a fitting description of a property that has oriented much of its offering around conferencing and group events.

The accommodation comprises clean, simply furnished rooms with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Room categories span standard singles and doubles through to larger superior rooms suited to longer stays. The on-site restaurant serves a straightforward menu covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a mix of Basotho staples and continental options, noted for honest pricing relative to Maseru's larger establishments. Secure off-street parking is a practical advantage for guests arriving by private vehicle.

The conference offering is the inn's distinguishing feature: several meeting rooms of varying size can be configured for seminars, training sessions, government workshops, and NGO consultations. Full audiovisual equipment, flip charts, and catering can be arranged through the reservations team. The facilities regularly host capacity-building workshops and regional meetings organized by international development organizations, reflecting the significant NGO and diplomatic presence in Maseru. The inn's Airport Road location provides ready access to the Sefika Taxi Rank and the commercial spine of the city while remaining outside the congested downtown core. Guests using the property as a base for exploring central Maseru will find most government offices, the Maseru Shopping Centre, and Pioneer Mall accessible by short taxi ride.
