We stayed at the Protea Hotel Cape Castle in April. When we booked in there was an advertisement that the rooms were R895 for the one night only. When we went to book a room, we were charged nearly double that rate, and given a twin bed room instead of a double. The reception staff were not overly friendly, and... More

We stayed for one night at the hotel, enroute to the West Coast. The hotel is small, rooms are small. It is clean, with the added advantage of a kitchenette in the room which was handy. There is no restaurant however there is the option of getting food delivered via Mr Delivery. If you are looking for a superior hotel,... More

Rooms well appointed, with good linen, though in need of a bit of upkeep. The mattresses in our room were seriously sagging. We had a stunning view of the mountain. Breakfast offerings were appalling. When I went for breakfast one morning at 10:00 (breakfast ends at 10:30), besides the cereal and sad collection of fruit, there was 1 pastry and... More
