About 20 minutes to V&A Waterfront big car. Free parking available. Hotel is a goof option to stay with families. Close to both the airport &... More

This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. It looks ultra modern and cool, with funky decor in all areas of the hotel. The rooms are big, with two TVs per suite and very stylish bathrooms! Only minor gripe is that the walls are quite thin... The restaurant is above average and the omelette I had at breakfast was a highlight.... More

We booked in for our regular overnight when flying into South Africa in February 2012. This was a pleasant surprise indeed. From welcome at the reception desk to being helped to the room. We were upgraded from a Deluxe Suite to an Executive Suite. It was a very comfortable room and spotlessly clean. The bed was a King size and... More

The Protea Colosseum is at a prime location in century city. it is within walking distance to Cape town's largest mall Canal Walk which has everything a top mall should have. The location is in-between the V&A waterfront/Sea point to the South and Blouberg/Big bay beach to the North. It is a great starting point to go any direction in... More

Loved this hotel. Rooms are very nice and large. The locations is far from the major cape town sights but the area it's in is nice. Close to a huge shopping mall that offers many restaurants and entertainment. The staff is extremely helpful and professional. I've stayed here twice and would do it again.

I stayed at the Protea Hotel Colosseum for three nights during my first visit to Cape Town as well as my first visit to South Africa and the continent of Africa. The Protea is a very new hotel that is situated in the new upscale Century City area outside of the city center. The advantage to staying here is that... More

From the time I made the reservation to the time I received the 'thank you for choosing us' email after I had left, I experienced nothing but the utmost professionalism, friendliness and efficiency. The suit was fabulous and the view of Table Mountain through the expansive glass windows was magnificent. I ordered room service and there was a good selection... More

If you are looking for a hotel with a good price and excellent service with an access to a shopping center then this is it. The waterfront is only 10min drive. parking is free. The things i only didn't like is the breakfast as it is very limited and everyday was the same.
