“Average business hotel”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

Solid hotel with a good location in the Rosebank area. The rooms were clean. My only pet peeve was that the rooms were extremely tiny. Another pet peeve was that the tiles surrounding the soap holder in the shower had a lot of mildew and mold. The front desk team is warm and inviting. They were always pleasant with me.... More

Dear klgsmith, Thank you very much for staying with us. The TEAM are very disappointed to hear that our rooms did not live up to your expectations. The hotel has a number of different room types and from your comments, I believe that our Deluxe rooms would better suit your needs and would provide the additional space. All your points... More

“A fabulous and comfortable hotel”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

Located in a good location. Very close to the other Protea Hotel, Fire and Ice which I've stayed in before. Preferred this hotel as it was more relaxed and great views of the Country Club. The pool area is lovely facing onto the bowling green. Some comments that the hotel is a little tired which I think it is, however... More

“Bright, clean, safe”

Reviewed 28 March 2013

A nice hotel on beautiful grounds with a private cricket club next door where you could go for drinks if staying at the hotel. A fun thing to do! Not very convenient for walking outside of area but walking on grounds is permitted. Very clean, nice rooms. Great breakfast and dinner offered. Perfect for one night in this area.

I last stayed at the Protea Wanders 5 years ago. On my return recently I was happy to see not much has changed - reliable, predictable, well-maintained, slick check-in and decent service. We trip was for business, so I didn't mind that the hotel is a little bland and the rooms, while neat and comfortable, aren't particularly luxurious. The Internet... More
