Being a prokard member and paying corporate rates, I somehow expected a better room that what I ended up with. The room was small, next to a linen closet on the 1st floor (115). One windows is straight into a wall while the other faces a pillar. As far as I can summise, no windows would actually be a better... More

A well-loved, pimped Protea Hotel next to the Orange River. Best rooms have a view of the river and courtyard. Cleans, beautiful and everything you expect from a new 4 star Protea. Slick, elegant and modern - the excellent barman will serve up anything you want (and is willing to learn if its not on the menu). Staff is unobtrusive... More

Stayed only one night and yet looked after so well. Our room overlooked the main road and was wonderfully laid out and designed. We had an issue with the air con in the room. The response from reception and maintenance was superb. There were up in a flash and had it working straight away. Thanks guys. Breakfast, huge and plentiful.... More

Billed as the finest hotel in the Northern Cape, the Protea Hotel Oasis is tastefully decorated with an African Kalahari theme, and has a cool and inviting atrium with friendly, welcoming staff who go out of their way to assist you. We stayed in one of the larger corner rooms on the 2nd floor which has a comfy couch and... More

Staff were exceptionally warm, friendly and helpful and really went the extra mile. The room was spotlessly clean and tidy, and there were extra touches, like sweets on the pillow at bedtime. The breakfast was very good, lots of options. It was also on the same street as th3e best restaurant in twon.

We stayed on two separate nights as stopovers on travels to the Namibian border and around the Northern Cape. Modern design, corporate style room, clean, very friendly staff. Food is adequate and buffet style for breakfast and dinner. Special mention to Jaco the manager. He was attentive throughout and made simple one-nighters something more memorable. He couldn't have been more... More

We stayed in the 'Suite' and it was worth it! A bit expensive if you take in consideration that the breakfast was not included, but it is still worth it, but the mini bar, espresso machine and daily 250mb for the internet was included in the price. The suite has a lovely spacious lounge with a huge couch, chairs and... More

Not bad, considering there are not many options in town. I heard there is a B&B with nice river view that is cheaper and better but unfortunately cant tell you which one. The room I got was on the 2nd floor; it was clean, the bed was OK . The shower had dark stains in the corners, not in great... More

Staff was really friendly at this hotel, and the rooms were good. But it smelled like a sewer in the bathroom, and it was really noisy in the morning due to some work being done. We couldn't find the pool,not really sure where it was.
