Ghost Hotels
I arrived at Ilanga Estate at about 4pm after driving over 650 kms from Durban . I was turned away at the gate and told the hotel is closed . I insisted on going in and going to the bathroom , the security lady wasn’t too happy about that , the entire place was empty , doors locked , nor one car or a single other person. It was traumatic. I specifically checked into a hotel for room service after heavy days driving and to relax ready for the next leg of my journey . After going to and fro because I was insistent, I had confirmation and full payment was taken. I was given a room at their other hotel The President Naval. They upgraded the room but at 7 Pm I wanted to order dinner and was told their is no one in the hotel . I went out again and couldn’t find a place open , this was 7.30. I am not familiar with Bloemfontein. They could not offer me a single slice of toast . I was promised a great breakfast , I ordered and was happy to have it on my room because I was told I was the only person in the hotel . The breakfast was so disappointing, I ordered soft poached eggs, bacon and half a tomato otie grilled and 2 slices of toast and a pot of strong tea with freSh milk . I received hard rubber looking eggs, Chakalaka, baked beans , bacon . 2 slices very of toast with one serving of butter and jam . A pot of water and one teabag . Possibly my worst hotel experience ever !

Nothing much to luck. Gate at front coming off rails, paving in poor condition, no Aircon remote, no towels (had to ask), rooms clean but bathroom fitting broken. Geberal state of disrepair and lack of QA concerns me in a place charg

Great place- Ilanga Estate
We stopped off at Ilanga en route. It was very comfortable and more than we expected. However, if you want dinner you would have to request in advance.
