Excellent location, nice rooms and overall ambience and excellent breakfast. We did not have lunch or dinner in the hotel, so do not know about that. Only negative opinion I have is that the rooms were having 2 separate beds; hence Becomes a bit difficult for people like us who have went there on a holiday. Excellent view of the... More

We booked into the President based on the (mainly) good Trip advisor reviews. Based on these reviews we asked for a sea facing room on the 6th (refurbished) floor and were very pleased with everything. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the room was large and clean ( 637) and the bed very comfortable. There is a separate toilet... More

We have stayed here a couple of times and it has always been a worthwhile and value for money experience. However this was not the case this weekend. Our trip to Cpt was for pure relaxation, hence the fact that i booked and paid for a sea view facing room. On arrival we were put into a very old room... More

We spent 5 days at the President Protea Hotel in Bantry Bay, a suburb of Cape Town. The staff were welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our stay special. We had a stunning view of the ocean to the front and the mountains to our back. The rooms were new, clean and very spacious. The beds were comfortable, the... More

The best thing about this hotel is the location and pool area. The upgraded rooms are okay - but the bath is not easy to climb into, with a shower overhead - my husband needed a shower on it's own and we were able to move into a room waiting upgrade, to enjoy this facility - where there is a...

Excellent rooms- the renovated ones must be requested. Excellent Service. Friendly staff. Great pool - although cold as autumn had commenced even though some days were gloriously hot. Unbelievable location.Only complaints are minor - rough toilet paper and very weak shower pressure. We were there for an all inclusive Pesach retreat so all meals were included and were of a... More

We stopped by the restaurant for a quick lunch there on the way to the airport. We asked the waiters to make the food in a hurry. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty and of good value. Very friendly staff, fast service, good food and great value. Nice music was playing as well. More

We selected this hotel which was suggested by our travel agent as we wanted to stay in the Bantry Bay area. We knew that it has undergone refurbishments recently and were assured of a newer room on a higher floor. We arrived late on a flight from Durban and anxiously awaited for a reasonably fast check-in process . The staff... More
