Disappointing
We arrived at check in about 15 mins earlier than the time on our booking confirmation to be advised they the hotel had changed it's check in time to an hour later. We were told to wait and the receptionist would see if our room was available. She subsequently disappeared and after 45 mins I asked another receptionist what was happening and he knew nothing as the original person hadn't done anything. He managed to get us a room straight away but have no idea how long we could've waited. The location of the hotel is good but it is tired and needs some TLC. I cannot fault the porters who brought a trolley to our car to collect our luggage so we didn't have to carry it. Breakfast was in another building and very chaotic where we had to wait for food refills and when we asked for cutlery was brought one set when there were 2 at the table. Just felt that they weren't really interested. We had a problem with our aircon and were asked to wait in the room for an engineer even though we said we were going out. No one came.

No gym even though advertised on hotels.com
We were disappointed with the checkin process.
Protea emailed the day before we travelled to see if we needed anything, and we said would be great if room could be available early so we can freshen up after a long flight.
When we checked in there were no rooms available which so not a problem as check-in was at 3pm.
We went back at 3:30pm and still no room for us, which was disappointing.
What was worse though was the hotel being advertised with a gym and there wasn’t!!
I always book hotels with a gym so this was misleading. The option was to pay and use the Virgin Active club in the town.

Lifts didn’t work on arrival. Terrible room - clinical, sharp edges everywhere.
Worst family room I have ever stayed in.

Luxury room for economy price near V&A Waterfront
The Protea is a terrific value, close to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront and the number 1 stop for the red hop on hop off buses, and right across from the acquarium. I was upgraded to a free corner suite with views of the bay and Table Mountain for being Marriott Bonvoy member. The only downside to this hotel is having to walk outside and through two different buildings to reach its restaurant, the only place to get bottled water on the premises. Big bonus: there is an onsite spa where you can get massages and facials for less than half what they would cost in the US. Desk staff are friendly and helpful. Concierge almost doubles the cost if outings, so skip them and talk with the red bus staff at the nearby station instead.

The hotel is old and need a remodel but close to shopping and the port. Convenient location but the rooms are small and you hear every noise.

It was an old prison. Some of the rooms are very small. It’s not very updated. It’s in A great location. There isn’t a view. There is only 1 plug in the entire room. We enjoyed Cape Town but will not be going back to this hotel
