Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Mowbray

We are frequent guests to the hotel and continuously choose to come back than try any other hotel. The rooms are great and comfortable and a perfect size and the entire hotel gives a feel of being "home away from home".

The main complex with reception is in the old Cape Dutch style house, the rooms are beside it in a more modern complex, but only on two levels surrounding a park-like grass area with trees. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. They were equipped with a kitchenette and a lounge area. We were not so fond of the food quality of the restaurant close by. But there are other amazing opportunities nearby. We loved the Fat Cactus, which was 3 minutes away. (A more student type of restaurant) But cool with children if you like Mexican food.

I honestly don’t know why this hotel is only 3 star, it should be 4 star! We stayed for 1 night in a beautiful and spacious king room. We have stayed in 4 star hotels in Europe which have been worse than this hotel. The breakfast was a full buffet with a chef to cook your hot selections. The staff were fantastic, friendly and happy to help with anything. We honestly thoroughly loved our stay!

Staff were excellent, service really good and breakfast excellent. I have been a visitor to this establishment, as have numerous colleagues with UCT connections, on a regular basis for about 20 years and remember the days when it was known as the Courtyard.

I have stayed there before & it is a lovely place however this time was so much more pleasant. The garden is beautiful but what really stood out was the staff, friendly & helpful, from the reception to the ladies in the laundry The breakfast is great & caters for all & the quality of the food is great & once again the from the staff were excellent.
