The Protea Hotel Victoria Junction in Capetown is lovely and serves wonderful food (we had their breakfast buffet every morning), but the best thing about it is the hospitality. They are well-staffed with men and women who are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Upon our arrival, we were served juice and delicious pastries in the lobby while our luggage was being... more

This is a city hotel frequented mainly be business people. It was hosting workshops for a major international cigarette company and a major local liquor company when I was there. Lots of young sales and marketing types nursing hangovers at breakfast. The hotel is on busy Somerset Road in Greenpoint, and although close to the Waterfront it is not in... more

The Protea is not bad a property and the rooms are quite clean and neat, so is the property. It's location is perhaps the greatest of all it's assets. However, the hotel lacks good facilities. It doesn't have a gymnasium or spa nor an in-house laundry room. The swimming pool too is a sorry excuse (you can only swim lenthwise... more

We had prebooked this hotel through a travel agent in South Africa. We were given a smoking room on the 4th floor on arrival, despite a request about 6 weeks before for a nonsmoking floor. The manager asked us to stay one night and she would get us a nonsmoking room the next day. I told her that it was... more

We booked an 8-day stay in Feb 2009. M=58yrs;F=57yrs. Everything went well - until we were both struck-down with a gastric illness that meant we had to VERY near the toilet for 48 hours. Not food-related but a bug that was 'going-around the city' whilst we were there. Hotel staff couldn't have been more helpful and supportive. They sent someone... more

We stayed four nights here in one of their very comfortable loft apartments which I would thoroughly recommend. It was very useful to have the self-catering facilities, fridge etc as it meant we could do our own thing for breakfast at a much reduced cost and, not eat so much! We used the dining room several times in the evening... more

An average hotel, rooms are standard, meals are OK, service is good. The best thing: it is located 100 m from Restaurant Beluga. more

Great base for our holiday, we were on the 2nd floor facing the road; there wasn’t much of a view and the traffic did filter through during the day. The room was very clean and every time we returned to our room it was tidied up, on one occasion I had dropped my money (about £100 equivalent rand) without realising... more

Just had a workshop/conference here and had a great experience. The hotel staff were great, very accomodating, quick to respond, and friendly. The location is also good, just a short walk to the waterfront area as well as the Cape Quarter and Waterkant area. Really no complaints and found it was good value, at least for holding a conference. Breakfasts... more
