Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, but the service had some ups and downs. The location was convenient for my needs, but the dining options left something to be desired.
The hotel offers cosy and comfortable rooms with a cool vintage aircraft-themed decor, though the smell of smoking may be noticed. The service is a mix of friendly and empathic staff, with some areas needing improvement. The location is ideal for quick transit to the airport, but the surrounding area lacks friendliness. Dining options are varied but could be expensive, with occasional cold meals. The facilities are decent but not exceptional.
The hotel was conveniently close to the restaurant and entranceway but our room wasn't ready until after 5 pm. The service was below Protea's usual high standards initially but improved with helpful and friendly staff going above and beyond, even preparing our room with rose petals for our special occasion. The location, with a shuttle service, was fantastic for travel convenience although noise from the highway was noticeable. The dining experience was above average with a big selection, and the hotel's facilities were well-appreciated.
I had a pleasant stay at Proteas Hotel, located conveniently close to the airport. The rooms were compact but more than comfortable for an overnight stay. The staff was helpful, although a bit slow with service at the bar. The hotel's proximity to the airport was a major plus, making it ideal for transit travelers.
The hotel rooms were clean and had all the amenities we required for such a short stay, and the staff was amazing. However, the service was slow at times. The location is good with regards to the airport despite the cramped shuttle bus situation. The dining experience was fabulous, but a bit expensive. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were fantastic with treadmills and ellipticals, and I would highly recommend the delicious breakfast buffet served for 215 ZAR. The service was a bit mixed; while the morning staff and driver were wonderfully welcoming and efficient, the security team took a bit too long to address my issue. The location, although not the safest, is conveniently close to the airport with a frequent shuttle service. The dining experience was great using the long pool and Asian dishes, though a bit pricey. Overall, a wonderful experience with lovely facilities.
The hotel offers clean and modern rooms designed like an airplane cockpit, which are quiet and well-equipped but could use better soundproofing. The service is exceptional with extremely helpful staff, particularly when dealing with unexpected baggage issues. The location is convenient for a stopover despite some noise disturbances early in the morning. The dining options are satisfactory but could be improved in terms of pricing and variety. Overall, a stylish and original hotel with some minor areas for enhancement.
The hotel had quiet and comfortable rooms, well-designed but a bit small. The service was friendly and welcoming, with efficient staff and an interesting airport/aircraft theme. The location was convenient with reliable shuttle services, but a bit grim. The dining was catered towards internationals and well-presented. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor limitations.
During my stay, the hotel had both its pros and cons. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities we needed, despite being a bit dated with poor quality plumbing causing a bad smell from the bathroom. The service was friendly and helpful, although the food experience was not the best. The location was convenient with a free shuttle service to the airport, making it handy for short stays. Dining options were varied, but a bit on the pricey side. Overall, the hotel offered a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
