Having only scanned the website before travelling , was not really expecting what we got when we actually arrived. When it says it is part of a theme park , you do not actually think that they mean an integral part of the attraction. Although this adds massively to the security aspect of the hotel (no good thing in Joburg)... more

I was travelling with my nine year old son, I chose this hotel because it was inside the theme park and secure. I booked for two nights by email and had a confirmation of my booking. I advised the hotel that we would be arriving in the evening. I took a hire car from the airport. The drive was rather... more

Reached Joburg and went to gold reef city.. Was a lovely theme park with Victorian styled rooms.. Service was excellent..food was very good.highly recommended for families with kids.. more

Extremely over priced for what it was. Do not go here to 'stay in a hotel' - there are far better around. I would argue how the hotel itself is a 4*. Rooms are meant to be in the Victorian style - no they are just outdated and need refurbishment. Would be ideal for families with kids - to take... more

Stayed at the Protea Hotel within the grounds of the themepark, which was like a ghost town at night. We didnt even know if the train was running at night to get to the casino, so drove round instead to be on the safe side and had to virtually bribe the security guards to let us back in but chucking... more

The hotel was very nice but I didn't realize that the theme park was an amusement park. When we arrived at night the park was empty and the grounds felt like a ghost town. The next morning when the park was open it was packed. The rooms were very nice and it's directly across the street from the Apartheid museum... more

We stayed at Protea Hotel Gold Reef City, Johannesburg, from the 22nd – 24th July 2008. We also returned for one night, 17th/18th August 2008, before returning to the United Kingdom. My party consisted of two adults and two children (aged 9 and 7 years). The purpose of our visits was to make the most of the Gold Reef City... more

We stayed here for tow nights and it was our second stay at this hotel. This hotel is ONLY for you should you have children. It is a loely hotel which takes you back to the early mining years. On the day we checked in it wasvery cold. We had to walk all the way from the parking lot to... more

The standard room that I stayed in needs renovating. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling and the carpet was dirty. I understand that they are trying to have a victorian style hotel but the facilities in the room need to be renovated and modernized. Besides the room, I thought the location was great, the hotel is secure, and the... more
