“Very enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel is centrally located in Umhlanga village amongst shops and reasturants and a few minutes stroll to the beach. The rooms are large and clean with a small kitchenette. The staff are friendly, polite and efficient. The only disappointment is the roof top gold fish bowl that doubles as a swimming (splash) pool. It is extremely small for a hotel of this size and i only saw about 10 sun beds in the pool area. The breakfast i thought was expensive but there are plenty resataurants in the area that serve breakfast. I will definately stay here again as i found the hotel extremely comfortable.

The hotel is really nice ,the breakfast is literally a great start to the day especially the croissants :) mmmmm

The rooms are tidied on a daily basis ,however i suspect that linen is not changed when staying for longer than one day as I found tissues from the night before between the sheets.

Staff friendly and accommodating

“Stay at the Protea only if you never shower or bath!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011 via mobile

Apart from the know nothing service, we were put in a twin room despite saying we wanted a double. We got moved after a farce then we tried having a shower and a bath. To cut a long story short it seems each room only has 100 litre hit water tank. So max 5 mins in shower (that's two times 2 and half mins) or a very shallow bath. Totally unacceptable.

Also the wifi is 100mb per stay. You stay one day get 100mb. You stay 14 days you get 100mb. NOT per day which is rather stupid.

Avoid this hotel at all costs. There are so many hotels in the same location that are mire modern and at the same price.
