The first room I was put in had a overwhelming mouldy smell, to the extent that I actually found mould on the furniture - this is highly unacceptable. The bathroom was mouldy, the shower head was super clogged/calcified, and the general condition of the room was just not up to Southern Sun standards. Also the door to the room’s lock was missing/not working. Never again.

Disappointing valentine night out.

After checking in at reception ,we went to the room. Immediately we opened the room there was this unpleasant damp smell. We phoned reception to tell them and to request for another room.
We were told that the rooms are the same, all have carpets.
We checked out without sleeping or staying in the room.

Family Stay

The hotel was clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Rooms are outdated and need a revamp from carpets through to furniture and bathrooms. Pool and gardens are well kept. Be prepared to wait a while for pool towels as they were never available at reception the 3 times we needed them... Breakfast was not great but had the necessary components to get by. Coffee was dispensed in an urn and tasted stale at every breakfast seating. Chef during weekday duty overstuffed the omlet and did not take orders correctly...
Overall an average experience at a fair price.

Our stay at the hotel was superb except that the bathroom door was broken and was never fixed for the duration of our stay. Nevertheless the bedding was clean and always attractive. Thank you so much for the ever welcoming staff at your reception and dining hall. Good work, keep it up.That was stunning !

This property is a gem in a haystack - well situated for driving to Kruger, yet near to most amenities in town. Rooms were clean, food in the restaurant, while basic, was good, and the highlight for us was really the staff.

Everyone was very friendly - from Nomi at check in, to Margaret at the breakfast, to the morning and gate staff. Also, a shout out to the housekeeping staff - they were consistent and did a noticeable job. Price was right, staff was friendly, and we'd stay here again if we/when we come back.

One caution though - while the rooms are nice, the word \"suite\" is a bit generous. Those rooms are just bigger to accommodate a table or couch. The pictures are accurate, but WYSYWYG.

Disappointing dinner and breakfast buffets

Their dinner buffet was extremely disappointing, it would have been better to eat at the local restaurant. Breakfast on our first day was marvellous and the service on point. But on Sunday morning it was packed and clearly they are unable to plan or accommodate a bigger audience without compromising service. The breakfast on Sunday was underwhelming, dry, unpalatable, no variety. Do not stay there during peak times because they can't handle large crowds

The property was beautiful!!! The staff very kind and attentive. The room was comfortable but a bit musty. After running the AC it got better. You need a car to get around as the nearest grocery store or restaurant is a few miles away. Breakfast was incredible! They even have to go breakfast bags if you need to leave early for a tour:)

I had a great time there with my partner who later in our way home completented your staff kindness and generosity. That was my third visit down there, and your staff remarkable service never subside but instead it improves all the time. The service within the poolside from Bab' Sias and the lady whom he was training was one of the best service i could highlight. Your remarkable catering staff and waiters team work hardwork cannot be overlooked as they each try by all means to maintain the remarkable high standard each whwther it was breakfast or dinner time.

Good place to stay

It is a very nice hotel, however outdated. It would be nice for the price it is to see it modernized a bit. It is perfect if you have pre-arranged safaris, I would recommend with Getyourguide. I would tell them that they need to kick up their breakfast if you are leaving early in the morning, as they gave yogurt, etc unrefrigerated, and some strange food options. But, if you are around for the normal breakfast (not going on a safari) then it is excellent! I felt a little bit insecure that the guards just opened up the gate for me every-time with no questioning, even the first time, while I went to go visit my friends at other hotels nearby all seemed to have their security guards be very through, question everyone, etc. It would add more security.

My family and I had a pleasant stay here, despite some difficulties. I booked a large “family room” on Expedia but was given the wrong type of room at check-in. After 6 hours of traveling to get to the hotel, my exhausted family and I checked into the room the front desk gave us and we immediately noticed it was the wrong one. When I inquired with the front desk, they said their reservations team did not ask the property to reserve the correct room type matching my online reservation. The man at the front desk was quite apologetic (yet his hands were tied, as the room I’d actually paid for was no longer available), so he allowed us to see another room (still a downgrade but slightly larger) and we eventually switched rooms. Check-in hassles aside, the other problems we had were with the hotel's smelly carpets and bugs everywhere (I know it’s close to the bush, but a Marriott can’t be having dead bugs in the shower, millipedes on dark carpeting, and flying ants all over the restaurant at night).

On the flipside, the staff were always friendly (especially Nomsa at the restaurant!), the pool and restaurant areas were gorgeous (particularly in the holiday season), and the hotel restaurant had good buffets. Ultimately, I would recommend this hotel but would say CALL before you arrive, so you can ensure that the room type you’ve reserved online is the room type the property has reserved for your arrival. And I hope the hotel does some facility upgrades based on customer feedback!

Avoid Protea Hotels

Such a let down!!! We got a room with no Mountain view instead our view was onto the next row of rooms. Bugs were falling onto our bed from the beam above the bed. It was so bad, that we had to move the bed away to another part in the room! We ordered room service one afternoon to eat at the bar area. After waiting for 90 minutes we cancelled the order! Our complaints to staff and management were met with shrugged shoulders and even cheekyness in one instance. Bad service, bad food! Over all a bad experience! We will definitely NOT visit any Protea Hotel ever again!
