I stayed here for Bly one night while on a business trip.. I wish it were for longer! The rooms are very stylish and roomy. The sea view is spectacular and with the one window ajar I woke up to the sound of the ocean. Bliss. Buffet dinner and breakfast was a feast of flavour and well prepared food. Pricing... More

The staff was excellent. The view from the room was amazing.Loved every minute of it. Reception staff was very helpful. The food was amazing though we only had breakfast only at the hotel both days. Our dinners were arranged elsewhere.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room that I ended up with, as it not only included what must have been a king sized bed, but two separate desks which I could work off. Unlike most South African hotels, I was offered free WiFi of up to 100MB per day, which meant that I did not have... More

The tourist places all seem to be on the sea front so the Protea Hotel is a good location for this, a bit of a hike but if you are fit, still walking distance to 'The Boardwalk' which is a popular tourist spot. Free parking which is handy too. We arrived at noon which is earlier than the scheduled check-in... More

I stayed in this hotel for a night while on business in the Eastern Cape and loved my room and its view of the beach and of the neighbourhood. The room was spacious and provided a wonderful retreat after a very hot and dusty day. I was really impressed with the location, quietness and decor of this hotel, however, when... More
