This is a lovely hotel in a pretty spot with all rooms overlooking the waterfront. The bedroom has a desk and dressing table giving it the feel of a small suite. Lovely large bathroom with luxury bath. Very clean room and friendly service.

I actually find this hotel difficult to fault to be perfectly honest. Perhaps one of the better hotels I've stayed in. PROs - Quiet, good bed, lovely bathroom, prompt laundry and room service. V.good restaurant food and pretty good breakfast. Outdoor eating area and pool is nice area. Great coffee as well. CONs - not many!! Sometimes you have to... More

Absolutely one of the best bathroom/wash/shower facilities I've seen in a while - and I get around the world often! The shower (seperate bathtub) is decoratively tiled at an inward slope ensuring water doesn't flow out. They were also smart enough to include a strong plastic seal between the shower door and wall so again water doesn't splash or drip... More

Great hotel with lovely rooms. The bathroom has a big shower and nice bath tub to just chill. Would have been nice if they supplied foam bath though. The breakfast was also quite good. The location is on the waterfront which has quite a few restaurant choices for dinner. Overall I enjoyed staying at this hotel.

I'd advise anyone to stay at the Protea Hotel Waterfront if traveling to Richards Bay. The views are stunning and the convienience of walking to the Waterfront for a variety of restaurants is fantastic. The people were extremely friendly where ever we went and for the first time the colour of one's skin was not an issue. The one thing... More

The protea hotel was excellent, free wifi, good service. sitauted with a good view and lots of restaurants around the area which is walking distance.Two swimming pools in the hotel. Very friendly staff. Found the hotel to be home away from home.

The hotel was much better than expected. I am not sure why the breakfast was so expensive at 155 South African Rands per person over the festive season, so we did not eat there… (Although the cheaper options like Jacks Corner are also nothing to rave about). The location is great and the accommodation is clean and functional. Also, our... More

The positives - Great location near yacht marina as well as good restaurants and bars. This is a clean and attractive hotel - all polished marble, chrome, and neon. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed with oversized baths. Nice pool with view. The negative - guest services are lacking. They will call a cab for you, but that is about... More

We checked in 10 minutes ago, no lift working. The receptionist totally ignored me, was on the phone for 10 minutes. The room is fifthy, the bed has so much duct underneath, you could make a shaggy carpet. There is dust everywhere, sweet papers behind the tables, food crumbs, would definately, leave but have to stay for the night! Needs... More
