Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge

Needing some upgrading

For a family of 4, it was a bit tight, but wonderful location and free parking!

Very unique mix of hotel, business school and prison, loved it!!

The room is compact. I recommend if you want to be walking distance to the Waterfront. Being close to the waterfront is a must. This hotel is budget friendly and there is daily buffet breakfast.

Nice comfortable stay for 3 nights

Nice hotel, great location, across the street from “hop on hop off” transportation, many restaurants, walking distance to mall 5 minutes, would stay again

Great historical building! comfy, clean and conveniently located.

Very comfortable rooms, ours one of the large ones. Stayed 1 week. The room we booked through Expedia was a small inconvenient room, not what I requested, but the staff graciously moved us to another, larger room. Hotel VERY convenient, like across the street, to Alfred & Victoria Waterfront, Aquarium, lots places to dine. Concierge services very accomodating and informative. Breakfasts "sumptuous" and became our major meal of the day. If/when we return to Cape Town this will be our residence.

This was a jail in it's past life. The rooms are minute, basic, austere. It is smaller than dorm rooms and very poorly laid out. To get to the bathroom, you have to close the bedroom door and vice versa. There is an ironing board hanging on the wall! I had no shelves in the closet and one tiny drawer at a desk. They say students come to the business school next door, but then don't call it a hotel.A hostel maybe? After a few days they did move me to a bigger room and that was more comfortable. Be sure what you are booking. The family rooms are awful. The staff was very polite, helpful and as accommodating as they could be under the circumstances, commenting that other people complain about the size and cramped rooms. And the soap, shampoo and conditioner in one?? Cheap! I will not return,

Our stay was fabulous and the staff were courteous and professional. The rooms were clean and the food was great. Our kids loved the stay and they enjoyed every moment to the point that they sometimes never wanted to leave the room.
