Big room, comfy bed and clean bathroom. The location is perfect for evening meals as it is right in the middle of Umhlanga and close to the beach.. Reception is a bit slow, and the locking mechanism on my door was faulty on the second night. It took 45 minutes to get into my room. This could have been resolved... More

We have just stayed 5 nights in this hotel. It was beautifully kept & the staff were so friendly & helpful. It is only about 10 minutes to walk to the best beach in S.A. Will come back again. Ne l l a

We found the location - right in the village - a huge bonus. There was no need to hire a car as the promenade and beaches were an easy walk away - and the restaurants and general buzz - literally just outside the door. Therefore, for a relaxing holiday (no car / no exploring and absolutely minimal shopping) - this... More

I stayed in the Protea for three nights in January this year. I could not fault the central location, the room, the staff, the rooftop plunge pool, the cleanliness of the hotel or the reasonable price.

The hotel lobby is dated and is overdue for a facelift. The rooms are in better condition and are surprisingly nice with good beds, especially considering... More

We have stayed at a few Protea hotels and just found that we have stayed at much better ones, this hotel was just average but fine for a weekends stay. We had an issue with our check-in, we had booked a room with a king size bed and instead got two 3 quarter beds, I complained and it was resolved... More

Very good hotel, big rooms with kitchen, you can do your own food with Spar, Woolworths and Checkers in walking distance. Clean linen, bed comfy and shower had good presure. Aircon a bit dodgy, only kept the room cold on colder days, when it is really hot outside the A/C did not do the job.Only had breakfast in the hotel,... More

I was so nicely surprised by this hotel! I definitely think it should be a 4 star. The staff on check in and throughout my stay have been friendly, helpful and competent. Everyone from reception, to Thandiswa in housekeeping and even the barman, have made me feel most welcome! I loved the room! (Well still do, sadly it is my... More
