Protea Hotel By Marriott Cape Town Mowbray

“Good business hotel”

I was upgraded to a 1 bed suite, which was nice. Where my room was located was very noisy. The service is good. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is clean. I appreciated the small kitchenette with the microwave oven. The tv channels are very very limited.

“Two night stay”

Spent two nights at the hotel. Facilities were very good. It is, however, not in the city center, so take that into consideration when booking as you will need transportation. My only other observation is that Sunday tends to be a bit slow so you may need to wait a bit longer than usual depending o… more

“Charming Hotel”

We wanted a Marriott Hotel somewhat close to the airport as our flight didn't land until 10 PM. The staff was excellent.

We wanted a Marriott Hotel somewhat close to the airport as our flight didn't land until 10 PM. The staff was excellent. We needed to buy an item, and they gave us clear directions to a shop in a safe neighborhood. The reception, lounge, and dining rooms are located in the original farm house which was absolutely charming! Breakfast the next morning was excellent. The rooms are spread out and one needs to climb some steps which is a bit of a problem with luggage. Parking was quite secure.

“Quiet Hotel -Excellent Services”

We stayed for 2 nights at the start of our Capetown-Stellenbosch tour. You will need a car or Uber to get to any sights or additional restaurants (except the Wild Fig) from this hotel, and you are about 30-45 minutes from downtown with Capetown rush hour on the major roads if you are planning to u… more

We stayed for 2 nights at the start of our Capetown-Stellenbosch tour. You will need a car or Uber to get to any sights or additional restaurants (except the Wild Fig) from this hotel, and you are about 30-45 minutes from downtown with Capetown rush hour on the major roads if you are planning to use this hotel as you base. The Wild Fig restaurant next door is great for dinner with a good food selection on the menu, the bar has a limited selection of wraps and sandwiches for a lighter meal if you are looking for this. The breakfast buffet for R230 was well stocked and had a Cook to Order egg station. The rooms were sized well, beds were very comfortable for sleeping, and this hotel is Very Quiet as there are no major roads or business locations close to it! Our room was recently renovated and currently 1-2 wings of the hotel rooms are under renovation currently (no noise or disruptions to guest while you are there that we experienced). Staff was very friendly and helpful for any of our questions. I would use this Protea hotel again if I come back to Capetown!

“Cape Town experience”

So, let me start by saying this would have been a five star review but for a matter on the second stay. My wife and I booked three separate stays (safaris in between).

So, let me start by saying this would have been a five star review but for a matter on the second stay. My wife and I booked three separate stays (safaris in between). Let me start with the best part-Mark their contracted tour operator. He took us all over the Cape Town region and to some hidden gems on our first four night stay. The staff was amazing. Friendly and attentive. Breakfast is great-something for everyone. Relaxing courtyard to chill. Rooms very clean. Comfy beds. They even give you some snacks in room at check in. So when we came for the second stay after our foray into Namibia, the air conditioner on the second floor (we did the two floor loft) did not work. I called the front desk and they sent housekeeping. I was told at first it was working (she stood in front of it-and a long story on the nature of the malfunction). Once she moved away from it she agreed that it was not working (bedroom area was 23C/73.4 F when it was set on 17 from check in through dinner). We were told not other lofts were available to switch to. I could have booked a loft for that night on the Marriott app. BUT, the next morning, they quickly sorted it and day staff apologized. That was the only negative. Everything else has been fantastic. When things go right, it is hard to describe. But all in all-excellent hotel and I would return if I make it to Cape Town again-which the tour operator makes one want to. So a little on that. My wife broke a nail. Mark modified everything and took us to a local mall so she could get her nail fixed. We asked if we could stop for snacks-he took us grocery store-so we had a much larger selection. Like I said, I struggled not giving a five star but I felt the a/c issue warranted a reduction-not the malfunction but how it was handled at first.
