The hotel clearly dates back to the heydays of the 70s and 80s, as the number of photographs of VIP guests of old at the Judge's bar bears testamony to. Pity that there has been little improvement since then. The hotel is located in the older part of town where you definately do not want to venture out at night... More

Worst Protea Hotel experience ever. Finding this hotel was not easy, and when we found it, parking was another challenge as you parked in a mall. The staff were friendly, but they are fighting a losing battle as the hotel is falling apart on them. We were flooded out and my company had to move us to the City Lodge

The maintenance is a problem. The tap handle fell onto my toe; the toilet would not stop flushing. And we arrived after 10.30pm. Ther was no room service. Then it was suggested that we could order through Mr Delivery and then were told that this service was also closed. Then we were advised that the hotel would buy us something... More
