I was very disappointed with the room, the linen they use is not hotel quality, it's cheap and old. The bathroom is in a bad state. The shower was not working well. The room was not clean

I enjoyed my stay. Everything was amazing. However in order to earn their total , they should brief the guests about the wifi or leave a note in each room with the code. Secondly, they should be more accessible to guests eg . by having a phone in the room so that we don't always walk to reception even for a simple question . Overall , I'll definitely be visiting again. It was wonderful .

I recently stayed at Ilawu Inn and had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. the breakfast was a highlight with a variety of fresh options to choose from in a lovely dining area. The location is convenient for exploring the city. I would recommend IIawu Inn for anyone looking for a place to stay away from home.

I was given bank details to pay online for 2 nights (8th to 9th November 2024) which I did pay ZAR 1,400. On arrival on the night of 8th November, the receptionist informed me the money did not reflect on their account. Tired as I was travelling from Botswana, I had to make another payment using my credit card amounting to ZAR 1,000-fair enough for me by then. They promised to refund me accordingly. Once I got back to Botswana I contacted FNB (bank) and they gave me the proof of payment and the funds tracker (showing that the Hotel was deposited on the 29th November 2024). The Hotel have since told me they cannot assist me further, let alone to track the payment with their bank-Nedbank to investigate the transaction, given the fund tracker I gave them. I am disappointed in the way the matter was handled and I am still left with questions.
