At one stage this grand old lady became very downtrodden and depressing. Now that Protea have rebuilt and refurbished the hotel, it is very good. We had a room, with fireplace in the new wing which was pleasant and the view out over the Midlands was great. I had to pity the guard sitting at the gate all night in... More

As a Group we booked to stay over the night in the Hilton and were received well by the staff on check in. Everything was well organised, fast and friendly check in and the rooms clean, newly decorated and superb. The food we were given on the night as a group booking was shocking, mince and gerrn salad, and this... More

The Protea Hotel, Hilton, has been revamped within the last few years and is a very comfortable place to stay. It still retains some of its charming old features, like the bar, but it has been significantly upgraded and modernised. The room was standard upmarket with a good bathroom. The restaurant facilities were very adequate with a good supper selection... More

Protea Hotel Hilton is perfectly named the “Gateway to the Midlands” and what a magnificent and splendid “Grand Entrance” it is. This was our first time staying at the Hilton since the Protea Hotel’s Group took over and when walking through the hotels door’s we couldn’t believe its transformation. Firstly, the décor takes your breath away with every piece perfectly... More

I travel a lot for my work in 5 star hotels and although this hotel is not so rated, the rooms stacked up in that league. Food and service excellent. Only the wifi was on the blink. Great great value for money.

What a lovely discovery! This old hotel has recently been refurbished and the rooms are very comfortable with every amenity you would require including the most delicious squares of fudge along with complimentary tea and coffee in each room. Dinner was delicious and the whole hotel has a really nice, old world charm about it. It is very convenient if... More

Stayed here one night on a business trip, found the hotel very pleasant. Staff very friendly and helpful at the check-in, rooms totally comfortable with nice extra touches eg biscuits with tea and coffee tray, crisp white linen and good quality bed. My room had a bath and shower with separate toilet. Service at breakfast can be improved as it... More
