This is a wonderful hotel with excellent service. The rates are good and the location perfect. Walking distance from convenient stores, bus stops and the sea. Nice location for a day out up the West Coast. Don't miss the West Coast National Park and eat fresh fish at Paternoster. Every other scenic place in Cape Town can be reached in... More

A group of us stayed at this hotel over Easter. We came to run the two oceans marathon. This hotel was part of a package deal we got through kulula travel, which we paid very reasonable rates for. If I had been paying full rates for this accommodation I wouldn't have been very happy at all. Most of us did... More

We arrived, having told the hotel we were arriving early, only to be told the room would not be ready for an hour, despite the fact that we had given them plenty of notice of our early arrival. We waited a long time for the room, during which we noticed that bar staff were continually absent from their posts and... More

The Protea Sea Point is a very good three star hotel. I was in a suite which was roomy and had ocean views. Every member of the staff was friendly and efficient. The Sea Point neighborhood was very seedy several years go but is now the site of many good restaurants and stores. The hotel is also one block from... More

THANK YOU for your review of the hotel and the compliments to our service delivery. We can share that there is a public bus transport system being developed to ensure those trips to the Waterfront and Cape Town CBD does not add up so fast. The Sea Point Area have been cleaned up over the last few years - thanks... More

Our Travel Agent booked this an affordable hotel just outside Cape Town. To be honest, given the other accommodation we stayed in during our visit to South Africa this was very disappointing.
