It is in the ideal location . It is just a few minutes walk to the Water Front, with all its shops and restaurants. The service is great. The service is just as good. I really felt at home. more

A good value base. V.close to all the Waterfront attractions. The hotel is a converted jail - try to stay in B block - the corridors still look like a jail - its cool! The rooms are uni halls-of-residence style suites, with bedroom, sitting room, shower & toilet. Plenty of space to store bags & clothes. Also has tea/coffee making... more

The hotel... more

If you like beige and brown, this place is for you. It’s dull, drab, dreary and just not value for money. I was in what they refer to as a business... more

the best is the location next to Waterfront. small room, very noisy and no air con!! more

Great location for the V&A Waterfront, but this hotel is nothing like the description on the Protea Hotel website! This was the worst hotel we stayed in during our trip home to S.A. We had a deluxe room and this was still very basic, for example no air conditioning and we were there in the middle of Summer! The hotel... more

We went to South Africa for our honeymoon. Our travel agent was wonderful but somehow recommended the Breakwater Lodge. It was the worst hotel that we stayed at during our time in South Africa. My public school dorm room looked better than this place. The bathroom was really small and had horrible flourscent lighting. The breakfast was fine but not... more
