Our Travel Agent booked this an affordable hotel just outside Cape Town. To be honest, given the other accommodation we stayed in during our visit to South Africa this was very disappointing. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very nice. But it is too far out of central Cape Town we had to get a taxi in... More

This was very small with little storage space and very odd bathroom arrangements!!!!The next morning went down to reception to ask for a different room... More

I went to this hotel as the 50% discounted price offered by a website was within my price range. I doubt whether I would have been so happy with the amenities IF THE FULL PRICE WAS PAID! Reception and porter were friendly, I was worried about the fact that each room on the Arthur's Road side had its own cantelevering... More

During booking we have booked a seaview nonsmoking room. Upon checkin the rooms where not ready, because we were little to early. No problem. As we came back in the evening our room was not available, because the couple extended their stay. We were given a room in the 6th floor. Smoking room. We got back to reception an room... More

Simply fantastic. The rooms very clean; the staff very friendly and hospitable; the location very close to the beach and quite safe. In all, good value for money. More

The hotel will not blow your socks off, but it is clean, the staff are helpful and the location is not too bad. It is a bit of a way from the centre of Cape Town, but if you have a hire car (Recommended), then it is a good base. The parking is cheap, 40rand a night. The breakfast is... More

Disappointing. We were short changed with a room seemingly half the size of the rest of the rooms in the Protea. We were soon told that they'd confused our booking with another guest, whose surname starting with the same letter as mine. Easy mistake to make I suppose?? Then there was the parking & buffet breakfast that I assumed was... More
