“Very comfortable accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

The Illovo Lodge is primarily designed for people attending courses and functions at GIBS (Gordon Institute of Business Studies). The accommodation is very good for this purpose. The rooms are neatly laid out and well equipped. The Wi-Fi is excellent and overall I have been very satisfied with the accommodation on the two occasions i have stayed there.

“OK for those attending a course at GIBS”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2013

That said the rooms are very hot and you make choice between not sleeping because it's too hot and not sleeping because the cooling fan (air con is too grand a word) is too noisy. The bar in GIBS closes at 9.00pm

2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2013

The Illovo is on the GIBS campus. It's a small, green, clean campus - safe, secure and reasonably charming (if small) The problem is that it's the ONLY thing on the GIBS campus.

“Good People make a fair facility shine”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010

We like to say that it is all about the people you meet. Well the Ilovo Lodge is merely a fair facility with outstanding staff. If you are new to Johannesburg and are a little timid then this spotlessly clean little hotel in a nice neighborhood (part of a college campus) iis for you. Thank you Jane and thank you... More
