Guest Reviews

• Adefeso (8/5): -
• Conor (3/5): Think again. - The staff cleaners were very good and very friendly. The omelette at breakfast were also tasty. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The reception was very poor. Especially when checking in. There was trouble with their card machine when checking in. My friends and I nded up getting charged twice each due to this issue. When we informed the reception, the just said to dispute 1 of the transactions. The reception were not helpful in maybe contacting the merchant who took our money twice. It was obvious that they didnt want to even know about it. They know whom their merchant is and could have reached out to them. This was in early March. I have still not received my money back. Also, we would order drinks which would arrive nearly 20 minutes after the order. The noise outside our window during the night and early morning was extremely loud between vehicles and security shouting at each other
• MOSES (8/5): - Excellent staff; excellent meal. The staff changed my first room when i complained of the AC. After that, all went well, no complian. The staff PERCULIAR was superb Nothing to complain about
• Blessing (7/5): -
• okere (8/5): My stay was a pleasant one and it was made better with the good service from all the staff. - The food was amazing, both the breakfast and the supper. The intermittent electricity issues.
• Michael (9/5): Comfortable, secure, and well-managed stay, with commendable service and staff professionalism - I stayed at Protea Hotel by Marriott Owerri Select from 25 January to 4 February for a total of 10 nights, and the experience was very positive overall. On arrival, my room was upgraded at no extra cost, which I appreciated, especially as recognition of my previous stay in 2025. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide variety of options and more than enough choices each morning. The air conditioning worked well throughout my stay, and both the WiFi and general room comfort were reliable. Security at the main gate was thorough. While checks could sometimes feel selective, they are understandable given the current security situation in Nigeria and contribute to a sense of safety within the property. I was particularly impressed by the honesty of the staff. The receptionist refunded ₦46,000 to me, which I was not expecting and which could easily have been overlooked. That level of integrity deserves recognition. The only concern was that hotel staff were checking the visas of foreign nationals. In my view, this goes beyond the hotel’s role, as visa checks fall under the responsibility of Nigerian Immigration, not hotel staff. ID verification is understandable, but visa enforcement should be left to the appropriate authorities.
• George (2/5): - They didn’t even have a room!!!
• Aniebietabasi (3/5): - Maintenance of the facility
• Egekeze (10/5): -
• Vicky (10/5): -
• Uchenna (8/5): The great customer service that the staff at this hotel consistently deliver makes up for the minor issue I encountered. - Great, secure location. Excellent customer service. Good food. Clean, comfortable rooms. Facilities are well maintained overall. Pillows too flat. No room was available to me until after 7.00p.m. Check in is at 3.00p.m. I arrived at 5.00p.m and had to sit around for over two hours. Breakfast buffet ran out of several items for prolonged periods of time.
• Adikaibe (10/5): - The location is serene and peaceful
• Smith (10/5): Exceptional -
• Francis (10/5): Great location and very secure - Location and security
• ibe (2/5): - On Expedia it was advertised as a poolside view room and breakfast for 2. They initially did not give me a poolside room but changed it when I showed them the Expedia booking. Now they refused the breakfast for 2 and said that when I booked that I should have selected/stated it was 2 occupants so it was going to be only one breakfast. They front desk staff do not understand or know about the Expedia adverts.
• Jephter (10/5): Exceptional - Great environment, lovely staff. Only one lift and room AC kept packing up.
• Akunna (10/5): My stay at Protea was very satisfactory. The hotel exceeded my expectations. - The hotel is so clean, Location is excellent, food is absolutely premium. Staff were very professional. Pool is small.
• Ugochi (5/5): Not a great experience - The location is cool. Senior management has good customer attitude The facility had a background noice which interrupted sleep at night on second floor, the duvet was uneven with bumps, the rooms were too small for the price, the hotel was way more expensive when booked online than at the facility,
• Cornelius (9/5): Superb - Loved the calming environment. Security was topnotch
• Michael (7/5): It was generally good - Laundry, bar or pub and catering The internet was always disconnected once there is power or electricity change over on the 3rd floor. I did complain but it fell on deaf ears. Shortages of food during morning buffet
• Randall (7/5): Good -
• Julia (7/5): Good -
• Nwanguma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (7/5): my stay was good though just a night - the breakfast was good the pool side was quite hot in ambience
• Ikechi (1/5): I didn’t get the room I paid for in value. Paid N176,000 to get a very small room that wasn’t what I booked online and t -
• Onyekachukwu (6/5): Pleasant -
• Emeka (10/5): - Great location.

• Leonard (8/5): Very good -
• Joshua (9/5): Superb -
• Ihechere (8/5): I felt safe and well cared for. - Very nice location, good security. Will do with some facelift like repainting
• Chika (9/5): Protea is a world class hotel - Protea is a world-class hotel. The Breakfast was top-notch. Excellent! The room is small compared to a hotel of such class. The TV should also be a smart one. Apart from that, it was a good experience
• Emamuzo (7/5): Good -
• Nwaneri (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anya (9/5): Superb -
• Angela (5/5): Passable -
• Ihechere (7/5): A good experience - Clean room and nice meals Too noisy.
• Nonnatus (7/5): Good - The Receptionist on duty was confused and unfocused. The Receptionist shifted attention to guests who had just arrived, keeping me waiting unattended for too long. I kept calm because the guests came with many security men, and I didn't know who they were. When I eventually finished their paperwork at the reception, it was raining heavily, and there was no umbrella to pick up my baggage from the car, making my overall reception time much longer than necessary. As stated above.
• Geri (9/5): Superb -
• Francis (10/5): A great and safe place to stay - Nice and safe environment, breakfast and dinner buffet were superb
• Monday (10/5): Very comfortable - Excellent Satisfied
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -

• Emmanuel (4/5): - Average
• Emmanuel (4/5): - Average
• Emmanuel (4/5): - Average
• Emmanuel (6/5): - The staff was rude.
• Alcozo (6/5): Could do better, room for improvement - NA Not much options for breakfast. Very noisy. People smoking marijuana at the pool side.
• Nneji (10/5): My stay met and possibly surpassed my expectations. - The fact that standards have been maintained since my last visit 5 years ago. The property has a luxurious feel to it and the staff are always friendly and welcoming, they also go beyond and above when dealing with guests. The staircase had an odour which I didn’t like. I prefer using stairs for exercise.
• Samuel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sanmi (10/5): Exceptional - I like their food menu and the quietness of the environment
• Andy (9/5): Superb - Lovely location and good facilities Pricy
• Nafisa (6/5): Pleasant -
• Idahosa (4/5): Disappointing -
• Chukwuemeka (7/5): Good -
• Nene (7/5): it was ok - Staff location
• Iyke (10/5): - Great food, experience and outstanding customer service
• Moses (7/5): Good -
• UZOMA (6/5): - Check in process is laborious, and time consuming. Front desk staff are not attentive and need additional training.
• UZOMA (6/5): - Check in was laborious, time wasting and two hours later than advertised check in time. Service was average. Hotel.com, and local hotels reservation information did not sync either due to intentional deliberate action, or outright careless. I highly suspect the former and not the later. Service and experience witnessed was not typical of my experience at Protea.
• Obiageri (10/5): - The staffs, environment, calmness and food
• Uchechukwu (10/5): - Fantastic
• LINUS (10/5): - Clean and friendly staffs
• Stephanie (10/5): - One of the best hotels in Nigeria.
• Stanley (8/5): - The set standards and hope they keep the good work up by maintaining the standards
• nnamdi (10/5): - Amazing. Safe
• Vivian (10/5): - Really lovely ambience. International standard Excellent service Definitely returning with my family.
• Paul (10/5): Nice Service - Quite amazing
• Ike (8/5): - For Owerri, and indeed the rest of the south east of Nigeria, where decent hotel accommodation is in short supply, the Protea Owerri is a great addition. The standard of the rooms, of the common facilities and the variety of the buffets are not easy to find in the south east. The comfortable bar stocked with books is very nicely Protea. While the manager was very helpful, the rest of the staff didn't quite measure up. The receptionist wasn't very helpful and I was unable to get a hamburger at the bar even after one hour. The restaurant staff were not very easy to get hold of, perhaps because I was there on a very busy weekend. To be fair, when I did manage to attract their attention, they were reasonably helpful.
• Charlie (10/5): Met International standard in all respect - Very good location and security. Excellent and professional staff. Very clean environment both inside and outside the hotel. Can process credit card or working WiFi. Food, though pricy, is good. Nice place to stay.
