This is a great hotel with excellent customer service. From the moment we arrived at the hotel with the security guards, to the smooth, quick and welcoming check-in process. This hotel really shows that if management really train their staff and motivate their employees that they will attract repeat customers. Small and intimate hotel, location is very secure and very...

I have enjoyed a couple of stays at the Protea, a South African owned and run establishment. Staff are very welcoming and rooms are fine, though there is no view from many of them. Security seems good. The restaurant produces very pleasant food - Nigerian or international. There is a small pool and gym. Wifi access is pretty good most... More

What can I say, I stay all over the world. O.k, so if you know Africa, Europe, North and South America, Africa is always at the boan any I botttom of the pile! Not here, the welcome by the staff better then any I have ever had. Breakfast simple but fresh, Dinner of fish stew was just amazing, the chef... More

Stayed here on business for a few days. The room was amazing with two floors. Downstairs there was a bathroom, tv, sitting room. The stairs lead to a large bedroom, jacuzzi bath, toilet and shower room. There was a communal balcony area with seats. I was only really there for a few hours on a night and it was raining... More

Firstly, for anyone not accustomed to traveling in West Africa, prices, standards, and service are FAR different in this part of the world than what most might expect from similar ratings in the developed world. I am basing my ratings not on the "five star" system in European capitals, but on levels of expectation in Africa. That said, I was... More

Stayed here for two nights on business in Abuja. Good and secure location. Rooms were an average standard if a little tired and the air conditioning was a little temperamental. Bed was firm and comfortable - a really important point when travelling on business. Wifi was good an reliable most of the time but the hotel was subject to internet... More

The Hotel is in a "nicer" area of Abuja with lots of embassies around. It is a small hotel, so not many people around and it feels relatively warm. The rooms are not too bad so is breakfast. Internet wasn't working which the staff tried to fix about 3 times throughout 2-3 hours during the evening... some faults here and... More

The Protea is located in a quiet spot in he north west corner of the city near the Irish Embassy and other diplomatic areas. It has a secure compound with 24 hour guard and enjoys a lower profile than some of the other international hotels in the city. The hotel is owned by a South African company and is smaller... More

Having stayed at other larger chain hotels and been very disappointed the Protea was a nice surprise. Small and slightly dated but comfy rooms and beds with fast and free wifi...everything worked..unusual for here. A few problems with my room keys being continually deactivated which meant numerous trips to reception and I changed rooms three times to try to get... More
