Our take
The Inn by Ilawu is a sensible choice for travellers who want a comfortable stay with good amenities in Pietermaritzburg. The rooftop and indoor pools and the family room options are the main draw, while the restaurant, bar and beauty services mean you rarely need to go out for meals or leisure. A 7.5 rating from over 1,500 reviews points to a dependable but not standout stay, so those chasing top-rated hotels may want to compare.
- Take advantage of both the rooftop and indoor pools, especially if travelling with children.
- Consider the on-site beauty services for a relaxing treat during your stay.
- Explore the breakfast options; the à la carte menu offers variety beyond the continental spread.
Why we love it
- Rooftop swimming pool with city views
- Comfortable family rooms with air-conditioning
- On-site restaurant and bar for convenience
- Beauty services available for pampering
Why guests love itThe Inn by Ilawu is built around two pools, one on the rooftop and one indoors, which gives families a choice whatever the weather. Family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi is included. A restaurant, a bar, a lounge and beauty services sit on site. The 7.5 rating from 1,556 reviews is decent rather than outstanding. I would recommend it for practical family stays in Pietermaritzburg.
