“The service is excellent”

The hotel is about 20mins from Durban but in an area where there are several shops and a huge shopping mall (getaways Mall) so you have just to cross the road to find whatever you need. The best of the hotel is certainly the level of service, the whole staff and managers till the general manager that I meet almost... More

“A regular for us in Durban”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

My wife and I have stayed at the Protea Hotel at Umhlanga Ridge five times now because of its central location and tidyness. The hotel is situated right opposite Gateway and is 5 minutes away from both the freeway and Umhlanga Rocks beach. Underground parking is available and is charged at R50 per day. We quite enjoy being able to... More

“True Ubuntu Hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012

We were welcomed with a warm sincere friendly smile, by the security guards and front desk staff, and of course the aroma of the buffet being prepared sent me to a trance. I like that the hotel is at such close proximity to the biggest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere: Gateway. Perfect for shopaholics like myself. I like the... More

“Good hotel for an odd location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2012

I understand that Umhlanga is where things are happening in the Durban area. However, be aware that this hotel is not in Umlhanga Rocks itself (there is another Protea there) but 20 minutes walking uphill from there (or a short 7 mins taxi ride). This one is right across a huge shopping centre which will be a haven if you... More
