“Awesome weekend”

As a Protea Hotel Gold Procard holder (+- 10 years) we decided to use one of our buy one get one free vouchers. We had a really awesome weekend.

“Quirky hotel in trendy melrose arch area of Jo Burg”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

Wondderfully quirky hotel in fashionable area of JoBurg - Melrose Arch area with good restaurants and shopping. This area felt a little safer than other areas of JoBurg. The hotel has medium sized rooms which are decorated to a very fine standard but quirky and fun. Each room has a movie star theme. I was in Jimmy Stuart. The room... More

“Very nice rooms”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Fire and Ice is a stylish hotel with very modern, clean, rooms. Restaurant and bar are frequented by locals, it can get busy at weekends. Service at breakfast and in the Restaurant though appears slightly disorganised and can take time. Room rates can vary substantially from day to day and dependent on the channel you book through.

“Elegant and sophisticated hotel”

Reviewed 5 May 2013 via mobile

As you walk into the room you notice the carpet that looks as if red rose petals have been strewn across the floor. This gives the room a romantic feel along with the soft lighting from the sleek, silver lamps. The room is spacious with the bathroom incorporated into the room & an ample separate toilet complete with well-stocked magazine... More

Great, great location. Super trendy and fun hotel. Breakfast buffet is fantastic with a huge selection including a great omelette bar. Don't miss an adult milkshake. Tons of great restaurants in "safe" walking distance. JB's Corner was our favorite stop. Have the chicken livers :)

“Nice hotel, don't ignore the milkshake bar”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

My wife and I stayed there for a week recently while I was in Johannesburg on business. We've stayed there a few times, and they never let us down. The room is small if you're a couple and are having a slightly longer stay, but would be suitable for most purposes, especially business travellers. Breakfast selection is pretty good too.... More
