Protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge

Long weekend away

Nov 17th, 2020

We have stayed here on numerous occasions. The hotel offers comfortable rooms and the staff are very friendly. The location is great for easy walking to the V&A waterfront. There is a self service vending machine for those late night habits. Price is very reasonable and we will stay here again. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Perfect location with a stunning breakfast.

Nice hotel and friendly staff. We had read reviews that the rooms were a little on the small side so we booked a delux corner suite which gave us that little bit of extra space. The hotel is very interesting because its an old prison. A lovely big selection at breakfast. The hotel is situated just over the road from V & A so it's location is perfect. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Excellent Location.

We chose this hotel for the location and we were not disappointed . Around 5 minute walk takes you to the heart of the waterfront where there were some wonderful restaurants. We ate at Sevruga which was amazing. The hotel is an old prison so has plenty of character. The staff on check in were friendly and helpful. They booked taxis for us to take us to Table Mountain and to pick up our hire car, also arranged tickets to Table Mountain. As a family of 3 we booked a room with a twin and a double room together which was comfortable but the rooms were a bit small and storage in the rooms was very limited. I would recommend upgrading to a larger room. Great hotel TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Really good choice for our Cape Town visit

Mar 28th, 2020

We found this to be a great location for the V&A waterfront and the terminal for the hop on hop off buses and for Robben Island. It does seem rather strange to be sharing the accommodation with a university department but we loved the quirkiness of its prison heritage. All the staff were courteous and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable but not outstanding. We would certainly choose to stay here if we were visiting Cape Town again. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER 

Marriott Protea in Great location

Mar 19th, 2020

Stayed here 5 nights using the 5th night free Marriott points offer. Location is super. Easy walk down steps to the Cape Town Waterfront. It’s a little basic ( no robe, conditioner ) it has multiple buildings, some of which have real character (old prison). Done Buildings are shared with the university. The clothes drier in building 2 floor 2 lounge 2 does not work well. The one in lounge 1 (sane floor) does. Staff are efficient. TRIPADVISOR.COM USER
