What is it with Protea hotels? The feel and condition of the hotel and service are never up to scratch. The Pelican Protea hotel is no different....an average hotel which requires all round maintenance. Within walking distance from this hotel you can stay at wonderful guesthouses. In terms of location in Walvis Bay you can't get better. A stones throw... More

Nice position, spacious rooms, amicable staff, good restaurant. Walvis Bay is not an holiday site. It is just for work, however this hotel helps to feel on vacation instead. The only problem is the transportation to/from down town. the taxi service is not very efficient here, however if you are not in hurry the taxi will arrive.

This hotel is what one has come to expect from the Protea chain. Its best feature was undoubtedly the location, right alongside the beach at Pelican Bay. For some this may be a disadvantage as it was some distance from the main part of Walvis Bay, but not for us. We had great views of a whole range of seabirds... More

The checkin was smooth and very easy, and the location is fantastic. It is not in town, but is only about a 15 min walk to the banks and shops, so its worth staying here and walking. The rooms are a little dated, but adds to the character of the beach side hotel. The views are amazing, over the bay,... More

Hotel is facing the bay and with all the wildlife, Flamingos, birds and water sports the view from the rooms is great. There is a nice, marked 3 km path way along the bay, so I ran from the hotel out and back - 6km really fun. Lot's of local people training and walking the dogs. Rooms are not too... More

The hotel is located in front of the bay and from the rooms you can see flamingos! It's really nice and you can forget to be in a harbour area. It's a normal traditional architecture as the ones you can find in US. Rooms are quite comfortable even if not too large. Very nice commo area with fireplace and many... More

We stayed at Pelican Bay Hotel during our visit to Walvis Bay. For this specific trip we were interested in staying by the ocean, rest and do some activities. Pelican Bay is located right next to the promenade in Walvis and it is therefore a decent number of restaurants, cafes and tour agents in the immediate proximity. One can easily... More
