Booked two roms in the Protea at Sea Point over Christmas and the New Year period.On arrival I found that our rooms were on the first floor and the balcony was directly next to the smelly air conditioning unit.Beneath our balcony slept several homeless people. The hotel did move us quickly to the fourth floor and further along. The rooms were clean and bright.Breakfast was lovely and the steak bar at night was good for our two older teenagers. Staff at reception were very helpful and pleasent.The bar is small with limited stocks. The hotel was in an ideal spot in peak season. Out of the busy Waterfront area in Cape Town and close enough to get there when we wanted.Rooftop pool area is small but we always got a sunbed or a chair. The hotel will serve snacks up there if you ring room service.Excellent laundary service ( same day , no extra charge).Beach is 2 minutes walk away and a lovely traditional prom to walk along.
