Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge

The rooms are very large and have everything you need for your stay. I can’t say enough about the staff very friendly and helpful The breakfast that was included in your stay was great. Lots of different options and you could get a take away box if you were still hungry. Someone was always cleaning If you are going to stay in Cape Town this is a must. Great value for your money

Great Hotel, Great location!

We had a very nice stay at the Protea. Location was perfect for walking to dinner, going for a walk or run along the water, and walking or taking an uber to cape town’s many attractions. Our room was comfortable and clean, Best of all was a very well priced and excellent massage at Relax Spa in the hotel. Don’t skip a massage if you can fit it in. Yvonne was great. Best to tip in cash, if possible.

Great location - easy walk to Victoria and Albert Waterfront area.

Perhaps the worst hotel (and most expensive) that I have stayed at. Attached to the university of Cape Town business school. Converted from a prison and with many remaining features including the lack of comfort and decor. My room was bleak and bathroom was more like student accommodation than a hotel for business. No gym or pool.

Needed help getting to the airport and said our only option was their very expensive van.

We stayed here for five nights. I can't fault anything about this hotel. Location, rooms, staff, restaurant are all absolutely brilliant! For a first time family visit to Cape Town I totally recommend and I'll look here first when booking for next time.

Incredible location, lovely property with a fascinating history and current co-residence with the school of business. Breakfast are incredible. Staff are outstanding.

The Protea is a terrific value, close to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront and the number 1 stop for the red hop on hop off buses, and right across from the acquarium. I was upgraded to a free corner suite with views of the bay and Table Mountain for being Marriott Bonvoy member. The only downside to this hotel is having to walk outside and through two different buildings to reach its restaurant, the only place to get bottled water on the premises. Big bonus: there is an onsite spa where you can get massages and facials for less than half what they would cost in the US. Desk staff are friendly and helpful. Concierge almost doubles the cost if outings, so skip them and talk with the red bus staff at the nearby station instead.

The hotel is old and need a remodel but close to shopping and the port. Convenient location but the rooms are small and you hear every noise.
