I queried this and noticed that they gave my room to their frequent guest and I had to suffer as am not a regular at the property. I was later given a room which had a small window still not the room I had booked and paid for. Just when i though I had all the terrible experience the dinner was even worse i could not swallow their wings under cooked and covered with BBQ source which was very brown. ##### Allan Gray Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Eliane Corina Dec 6, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Schönes Hotel Schönes Hotel, ideal gelegen, freundliches Personal.

Very impersonal check-in...limited information provided and had to make calls from the room to request for basics like WiFi password. Allocated a room I had not requested, called to request the booked room, an alternative key brought to the room with little communication on room location, etc....service very unfriendly. The room had spider webs, the bathtub plug didn't close and we couldn't take a proper bath. No extra blankets...and its winter now, with the aircon not working to warm up the room. No social distancing at breakfast...tables set up to full capacity! What a sad way to spend a birthday & Mother's day weekend!! ##### Puleng Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Gillian May 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### African Time The room was clean and adequate with a coffee/tea maker and small fridge. Bed was comfy. The bathroom was clean and offered small size toiletries. The restaurant offered good food but the service was very slow. The saving grace in having to wait so long for our dinner was the pleasant indoor/outdoor dining area. Breakfast was also of a good quality but again the service time was unacceptable. Overall a good stay and we would probably return. ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sifiso Sep 8, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent ##### Sifiso Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Didier Feb 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel bien situé Chambre confortable et avec une jolie vue sur l'Orange river, mais climatisation bruyante et piscine ridiculeusement petite.

Fridge was broken, although they changed it felt as though they did so under duress.

The room was clean and tidy somewhat old style, Shower area too small and cramped actually in my opinion is a trip hazard. Location of room is poor if you have a suitcase and proximity to lift. All of the staff were very good and readily assisted with any enquiries I made. I would recommend the Protea mainly due to the professional staff I dealt with. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good review It was good! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### african queen, australia Sep 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great position The food was excellent good coffee and friendly staff. ##### african queen ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanna, Washington, DC, USA Jul 24, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Meh... I was pretty disappointed with my room -- it was dark, windowless (there was a tiny window, but it looked into the darkened interior of the building), the bed wasn't very comfortable, and the tv was positioned in such a way that you couldn't see it directly from the bed. The bathroom was also very dark. I stayed 2 nights, and the morning after my first night, construction (banging anyway), started at ~7 AM. Ugh. The hotel grounds themselves look nice and the breakfast was fine. My room, however, wasn't worth the money. ##### Joanna ### 2/10 Terrible #### Frank Jul 16, 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### don't expect to get any sleep Vey noise hotel. ##### Frank ### 6/10 Okay #### Rimvydas, Johannesburg, RSA Jan 5, 2015 Liked: Staff & service #### Stopover Great option for 1 night stopover. Very good breakfast ##### Rimvydas ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marc de la Harpe, Johannesburg Jan 13, 2014 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not impressed at all The room didnot meet the standards as per your description. There was no view I looked onto a brick wall, the bed was small and uncomfortable and the price I paid did not justify what I received. Management said they would sort it out only to be told later that I must take it up with hotels.vom ##### Marc de la Harpe ### 2/10 Terrible #### Boiled crayfish, Pretoria Jan 7, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Only hot water at 38 degrees Checked in at about 15h00 on 18 December 2013. Family suite was very impressive but then things went downhill: A) The toilet would/could not flush (broken mechnism). B) There was no cold water, only very hot or extremely hot. After 2 hours we were moved to a new room with the assurancethatthat room had cold water. This was not the case, also only boiling water out of the taps. After another two hours waiting and a lengthy excuse by the (non-present) maintenance manager over the phone I checked out. I was promised a full refund or credit. To date I have heard nothing from the hotel. Front staff was very friendly and helpful but it appears that the maintenance department lacks the understanding that it is not a cheap hotel and that at those rates a fully functional hotel is a must. ##### Boiled crayfish ### 6/10 Okay #### Douc, france Nov 9, 2013 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### schade, dass die Renovierung so wenig gebracht hat wir stiegen in einem renovierten Zimmer ab. Die Toilette funktionierte nicht. Die Tuerinneseite der Zimmertuere war beschmiert. Nach dem Unzug in ein anderes Zimmer bruchte man viel Kraft und zwei Haende um die Schiebetuer zum Bad zu oeffnen. Duschen musste man dort in der Badewanne ohne Vorhang! Schade, ein Jahr nach einer kompletten Renovierung muss das anders sein!! ##### Douc ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort – Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Anaheim-Resort-Convention-Center.h11011041.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Antelope Canyon](https://www.expedia.ca/Antelope-Canyon-Hotels.0-l6162238-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Dreams-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa.h2941578.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Vermont](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermont-Bed-And-Breakfast.d247-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Comfort Inn Bellingham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Bellingham.h2644.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel Quesnel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quesnel-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Quesnel.h428616.Hotel-Information) > > [Edmonton Hotel and Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Edmonton-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre.h74884.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fargo](https://www.expedia.ca/Fargo-Hotels.d6059376.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/cok/vancouver-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/tpe/calgary-to-taipei) > > [Emirates Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/emirates-from-pearson-intl-to-dubai-intl/ek/yyz/dxb) > > [Flights from Karachi (KHI) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/khi/yxe/karachi-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Honolulu (HNL) to Melbourne (MEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hnl/mel/honolulu-to-melbourne) > > [flights from pitt meadows airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ypk/flights-from-pitt-meadows-airport) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Seawell (BGI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bgi/vancouver-to-bridgetown) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/bkk/halifax-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Arusha (JRO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/jro/amsterdam-to-kilimanjaro) > > [Flights from Seawell (BGI) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bgi/yyz/bridgetown-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/nce/montreal-to-nice) ### Activities > [Things to do in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Cancun.d179995.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Bora Bora](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/602861/Bora-Bora) > > [Fort Amherst](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Amherst-St-Johns.d6258701.Vacation-Attraction)
