This is a beautiful traditional Cape style furnished facility. A welcoming staff and servers are constantly attentive. Breakfast is plentiful, fresh and delicious and beautifully presented. The room is clean and comfortable, the amenities replenished daily. Well situated away from the noise of touristy places but easily accessible by car and a safe location. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was beautiful and full of historic charm. The on-site Wild Fern restaurant had delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. My only "negative" was that both Apple Maps and Google maps struggled to map directions to the property--they both routed us through the hospital drive which is closed to through traffic. Not the hotel's fault, just a heads up to other travelers.

Staff were friendly. Did not like that walk ins were not welcome at breakfast. It wasn’t like that before. At 10 pm We asked for drinks at bar and front service said it was toooo late.

I showed up and they didn't have my reservation. The staff said they weren't familiar with Expedia. Weeks later and Expedia still won't refund me. Don't stay here!

Short stay with Protea Hotel

My son and I visited CT for 4 days and according to them I booked for 2 adults. No one phoned before we arrived to confirm our booking. They couldn't help me with an explanation on how it happened; booking app's fault or theirs? Breakfast service was excellent. Our fire alarm went off twice. The reception had no idea about the fire alarm that went off at weird times - early mornings and even at night really late. Feedback would be appreciated.

Unbelievably good value for money

Charming main building makes you feel like your in the winelands yet you are minutes from city, spacious comfortable rooms, excellent on site restaurant. Absolutely best value for money. Only drawback and reason for amazing price is the highway noise in the background. Doesn’t bother you when in your room and you can’t see it but you can hear it by pool and in public areas.

2/10 Poor

Look for other options - very poor value!

This hotel is not only in a very difficult to find and odd location, but it felt old and run down. As a solo female traveler I felt unsafe opening my door in the dark and would not have walked to my car. My room itself was ok but outside my door the view of a 10 foot trash pile in a parking lot. There was no in room thermostat and I opened my balcony door at 3an to get some air as I was roasting and a man ( hopefully guest) was standing in the middle of the courtyard and spooked me. Perhaps smoking or perhaps other. Regardless I shut and locked the balcony door. The staff was friendly but the atmosphere and Furniture in common areas looked Like grandmas house - not in a kitschy antique way but in a run down old way. I absolutely would not recommend this hotel. Especially for a solo female traveler. I booked it by mistake but thought maybe it would be ok as it’s near UCT This may have been my most uncomfortable hotel stay of my adult life and I’m 50!
