Average stay
Our stay was fine and the rooms clean, check in staff were good and so were the cleaning staff. Unfortunately the breakfast let us down, the breakfast was very average and bland. On Christmas day we arrived at breakfast at 9:30am and were turned away by the staff at the breakfast area who advised us that the breakfast time had changed but we were not given any notice when checking in or in our room. We felt very dissapoint especially on christmas day when we expected a lovely special breakfast with our family. They eventually let us in but they packed away the food as we dished our food and we felt so badly treated and rushed. Not sure i would stay here again or book my staff here again.
Charis, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel in error thinking I was booking the other Protea Marriot but no harm done! Just check if you are in town as there are two. The hotel is located in a street with shops, bars, coffee shops etc and you can walk down to a shopping area near by. Everything in the immediate area seems nice, clean, safe. The hotel has nice and quite quirky decorated public areas, bar, and pool area. Its a nice place to relax. Wifi was good. The room was nice too, a cool laid back feel with soft blue and white tones. There's not much of a view as its a city location. The bed was comfy and the linen all nice and clean and fresh. The AC in the room is quiet and effective. The front desk staff were excellent, very welcoming and helpful. Recommended for business trips etc.
