The hotel was perfectly situated in a lovely part of Cape Town. However the hotel itself was okay as far as cleanliness and services were concerned. Frankly, don't even both trying to use the free wireless internet because it would be faster to print your email and mail it with a stamp. It was an okay place but not what... more

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon. The hotel is of good standard but is nothing amazing. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We weren't that impressed with the choice or quality of evening meals in the restaurant. We ate out most nights, mainly at the Waterfront. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The hotel is quite... more

Stayed here as part of Scenic Tours 11 Day Africa tour. This a really sub standard 4 star hotel. The rooms are a fair size but the bathrooms are hopeless. Service is not great, Forgot the soap and tissues on day 1, the face cloth on day 2 and heaven help us for day 3. Breakfast is the saving grace... more

My friend and I stayed in the Protea Hotel President for 4 nights. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment. It was great having the two rooms. It was close to the waterfront and was in very good shape. It was one of my favorite vacations and would stay there again in a heart beat. more

We stayed here at the start of our two week honeymoon for 5 days. Cape Town is a fantastic place to visit and this hotel is a good hotel to use as a base. it is a little far out, as previous reviews have stated, and taxis do start to add up. But the hotel is clean and modern. The... more

Stayed here for 3 nights as part of a Page and Moy tour group. Good welcome, nice big room overlooking the mountain and car park at the rear. Shower curtain flaking, otherwise immaculate room. Took dinner in the first night, average buffet food, but cold, hotel reimbursed us 20% on complaining! Great breakfast but could be very busy dependent on... more

My wife and I came here with our six month old daughter and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The staff were very friendly and even played with our daughter at mealtimes. Our room was comfortable with a great view of Lion Rock from the window. We ordered room service one evening and found it to be good quality. Some people may... more

After waiting for around a... more

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights as the second part of our Virgin Kruger, Cape Town and Mauritius trip. The room was clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast was excellent for choice and quality. The location of the hotel is a 15 minute taxi ride from the town centre and the V&A area, between 70-80 rand one way, and... more
