Friendly staff, good facilities in a nice location...
The hotel is stunning. We had the two story/ level room and it is excellent. The facilities, dining and bar also excellent. And gin masterclass excellent.
Couldn’t fault it.
Everything exceeded our expectations and we were treated like royalty. 🙏

Sehr schönes großes sauberes Zimmer über zwei Etagen mit zwei Balkonen und Meerblick, das Restaurant dazu ist auch sehr gut
Room was lovely staff was great
I want to bath but the water did not stay in the bath
免费停车,早餐还可以。
管理混乱,酒店不知道自己到底还剩什么房间。还要一个一个房间找。订的双床,入住是大床。找了一圈也没找到。房间浴室有不好闻的味道。最让人匪夷所思的是万豪4星级酒店居然没有电梯。
Felt smart and spoilt! Wonderful treatment by staff. Made us feel so special and told us history after asking
Nothing loved it
friendly staff, luxury room, safe and secure
Sehr freundliches Personal. Tolle Lage, super Aussicht. Schönes Zimmer + Badezimmer.
Catering and reception staff good and providing helpful and friendly service at all times.
all went well
fine
Our arrival and welcome at the hotel were truly amazing. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Whitney and Olivia were so friendly, warm and eager to assist with anything we needed. A very special mention must go to Lourens and Layla, who are absolute assets to the hotel. Lourens, in particular, went above and beyond. Even though he was off duty, he went out of his way to get us an umbrella and personally walked with us all the way to our rooms in the rain. That kind of genuine hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. Every time we saw him, including when he served us in the Gannet Restaurant, he was friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome. The bar staff were equally fantastic. The service throughout was friendly and professional, and the overall atmosphere made our stay feel very special. The wonderful staff and exceptional hospitality really made an impression on us. Whitney, Olivia, Lourens and Layla deserve special recognition for the way they represent the hotel. People like them are what turn a hotel stay into a memorable experience. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
Unfortunately, there was one issue with the room. The air-conditioning unit kept dripping water directly onto my head, which was quite uncomfortable and definitely needs some attention. They could have given Marriott’s member a better price for the gin tasting as it was our birthdays. Ashlea was reprimanding a staff member in front of guests.
Location
Staff were very friendly. Had a restaurant and gin distillery onsite which was fab. Room was lovely and comfortable. Whitney at reception was amazing.

Der Blick auf das Meer. Der Empfang war freundlich. Weil die Eismaschine nicht funktionierte, brachte man uns unseren Willkommensdrink (Gin) aufs Zimmer. Das Restaurant zum Abendessen. Tolle Auswahl und alles sehr frisch.
Zimmer bisschen eng für 2 Koffer.
The room was nice and clean, and the hotel kindly upgraded us and I had a balcony with seas view which was a lovely. The location is amazing, right on the waterfront. The staff were fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was very good and included some halal options, which we really appreciated.

Enjoyed my stay. Beautiful view from my room terrace!
A little more maintenance attention needed in my room
Exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. Spotlessly clean accommodation a very good breakfast
The staff at Protea Hotel were absolutely wonderful. They couldn't do enough for us from the moment we arrived. The room was beautiful and the view over Mossel Bay was spectacular. We highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in the Mossel Bay area.
Friendly staff and love the location

What an absolute beautiful hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. We also felt very safe. Everything was in walking distance. The staff was extremely friendly and helpfull. The barman at the bar where my husband and I ended up every night after going out was so friendly and helpful. I'm a very happy customer.
Nothing
The staff was absolutely amazing. From Daniesha at Reception, Siya in the bar, to Ronnie at Cape Saint Blaze gin. Every single staff encounter was great. The extent to which they went to ensure our stay was the most comfortable and personalised experience was just mind-blowing and the best my wife and I have experienced at any hotel we've ever stayed at. The hotel is centrally located to visit most attractions. We will definitely return.
Nothing to mention.
The food @ Cafe Gannet was excellent. Our room was clean and spacious with a great view. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Vše ok jako vždy. Výborná restaurace, výběr vína, lokalita,... Vzhledem k mimosezoně i příjemná cena.
O ničem nevím.
Location..staff..restuarant.
DSTV remote was faulty Building repairs underway with an angle grinder in the room next door - so we were moved to another room. The next room had a faulty shower/basin plumbing issue But...the staff were very responsive and courteous..and went the extra mile..so hats off to them.
I think it would help to check the towel rail in the shower. It is going to come out of the wall when somebody next leans on it. The wall plugs are too small for the grip. Otherwise I will be back. Room 226
Friendly staff. Easy access
Amazing Hotel, It was a last minute find as we were driving the Garden Route towards Cape Town. Very friendly and helpful staff, Hotel is beautiful, room is spacious enough for two people with all the amenities. Great beds and shower is phenomenal!! would highly recommend and will stay there again. Thank you
Beds were comfortable view was as exspected. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The bathroom stank of sewage, it was really strong and we noticed on check in that the room had just been cleaned and the bathroom had a heavy smell of bleach or some king of disinfectant. All the doors and windows were open, obviously to air out the room. This is a clear indication that the problem is known to management.
Great location beside Dias museum. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely views and fabulous food at the attached restaurant .
Локация - близко к основным достопримечательностям, рыбацкая гавань в 2 минутах ходьбы, где расположены таверны.
Ambiance. Friendly staff.
Restaurant. Some food on menu but not available to order
We weren't expecting such a fabulous hotel as it's chain. How wrong we were, luxurious, stylish and comfortable. Great food, lovely staff and a lovely welcoming local gin and tonic!
The location wasn't our favourite, not very scenic, but that wouldn't stop us staying again.
The decor of the hotel in general the friendliness of the staff and the restaurant. The uniqueness of the gin facility.
Having tk ho ourside to reach the restaurant bar and reception. Not good when raining and/or windy.
Lovely historical building with beautiful interior. Wonderful staff!

Alles bestens - gutes Frühstück, schöne große Zimmer und netter Empfang beim Check in
The views were absolutely incredible and really made the whole stay unforgettable. The staff were amazing, so friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. They truly made our stay feel special. The restaurant on the property was also fantastic, with really delicious food.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like, everything was excellent.
Luxury, cleanliness and fantastic friendly staff
A little bit more chlorine in the pool than I’m used to.
Nette Begrüßung, tolles Zimmer und Frühstücksbuffet.
Etwas langsamer Service an der Bar.
Location and decor and restaurant
Expensive for facilities and no breakfast included Also my mobile phone was stolen from the hotel when I accidentally left it in the bathroom for no more than 10 minutes. Staff were helpful but could have shown more urgency to deal with the matter
Tolles Frühstück und super nettes Personal
Lovely hotel - a historic building and a great restaurant. Well placed to walk around the Mossel Bay sights.
All was good.
Sehr gute Lage zum Hafen und nobles Ambiente.
Preisniveau im Restaurant sehr hoch.
Great location and lovely hotel. Room was god size and lovely, just some facilities within the room weren’t met or weren’t working during our stay.
Well located! Lovely staff and beautiful room. Loved the convenience of a good restaurant on the premises.

The room was amazing with a beautiful view of the harbour. Everything was very comfortable and the restaurant was lovely. We had a wonderful stay. Friendly welcome with a nice gin and tonic.
The breakfast staff weren't very good. I'm still waiting for my cappuccino.

Beautiful hotel and all interiors very classily decorated. Great restaurant and excellent cuisine. Loved staying there.
Terrible half door shower enclosure - water splashes outside very easily and wets the mat thoroughly!
A convenient stop along the garden route. Arrival/welcome felt personalised. Rooms clean and comfortable. Nice restaurant.
Felt rather ‘corporate’. Slow service at dinner.
Max durchschnittlich
Qualität der Speisen nicht gut; Servicepersonal eher unfreundlich
Dieses Hotel kann man nur empfehlen. Das Gebäude sowie auch das Zimmer sind äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Das Restaurant ist sehr schöne angelegt im Garten und grenzt an den Pool. Unser Zimmer war überdurchschnittlich groß und sehr schön. Große Dusche und sehr sauberes Bad. Alles was benötigt wird, war vorhanden.
N.a.
Das Hotel ist ein kleines Paradies, wir waren sehr positiv von der Größe, der Ausstattung, Design und dem Angebot überrascht. Durch einen kleinen Park kommt man direkt zum Strand. Abends haben wir lecker im sehr schön gestalteten Restaurant gegessen und wurden zuvorkommend und humorvoll bedient. Wir können das Hotel unbedingt empfehlen!

Good location, clean , good breakfast . Attentive staff .,
Ein sehr gutes Hotel mit hervorragenden Frühstück.
Frühe Schließung der Bar 9:30 Uhr
Lovely room Staff were very helpful
Väldigt trevligt mottagande vid incheckningen,bekvämt rum med fin utsikt över havet!Frukosten var mycket riklig och vällagad.Trevlig gest personalen hade tvättat rent bilrutan inför utcheckningen och Garden route.
Det som drar helhetsintrycket för oss var att vi hade bokat bord i restaurangen två dagar innan och när vi kommer dit så vill man placera oss i frukost restaurangen för att man skulle ta emot ett större sällskap med folk boende på orten.Maten sjötunga var smaklös då man inte lagt på tillräckligt med sås.Servicen var väldigt saktfärdig.Man sätter inte hotellets gäster i första hand utan lokalbefolkningen,så jag undrar varför man i receptionen var så angelägen om att vi skulle boka bord i restaurangen.
Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und sauber. Das Restaurant ist wirklich sehr gut. Die Bar und der Poolbereich mit Meerblick super schön.

Sehr sauber, tolles Frühstück, schönes Restaurant fürs Abendessen, tolle Bar mit super Aussicht, seht guter eigener Gin als Welcomedrink
Nichts
Het buiten gebeuren met restaurant; goede keuken en vriendelijke bediening.
De kamer: Heritage Room, donker en gelegen aan een drukke weg. Nog laat lawaai en om 05.30 uur reden de eerste auto’s al door de kamer. Dus nooit meer een heritage room!
Well positioned, established building, close to the harbour. Good reception area with polite and attentive staff, who offered a welcome drink which was greatly appreciated following a journey! We did not have breakfast, so cant comment on that. The restaurant was heaving for a Monday night so a good job we booked a table on arrival. Food was good and plentiful. Nice outside bar for when the weather's good and you can eat there too.
Parking proved a nightmare and was not 'on site' although we did get some help in the end with luggage. We were largely disappointed that our overall expectations did not quite match reality, mostly due to room position.
Tolles Personal, bereits der Empfang war sehr angenehm. Es wurde sich um alles gekümmert und einen tollen Gin gab es auch noch
Location
Vriendelijke staff !
Uitzicht uit kamer niet top. Geen v d twee tv s werkte echt. Bedlamp deed het niet. Ontbijtbuffet niet geweldig.
Well presented clean and modern
Our room was close to the road into the docks wagons sounding horns 6 am. Given a choice would stay well away fro the road Our room did not get cleaned after first night
We loved this hotel. A bit of luxury in the middle of a very long tour. The staff without exception are very friendly and helpful. A smile goes a long way. The room was very comfortable and modern. The Gannet Restaurant lived up to its reputation and our expectations. We had lovely views over the Bay and the working Harbour.
No complaints from us. All good news.
The staff were very welcoming especially those on reception. They and the reception area met Marriot standards. The room given was excellent, the views of the bay and the bathroom had everything that was needed. A special mention in the restaurant for Monique who served us. The menu was varied and the wines excellent. ( we live in a wine country) . Moinique's smile helped to accept the long wait for food. The hotel car parking was secure.
It seemed that the kitchen was struggling to keep up with the orders and so it took almost 1 hour to receive the first course which was a small 2 gambas creation. After explaining/ complaining to the restaurant manager, the service improved. The hotel was close to the harbour and so there was noise in the night from heavy lorries ascending the hill.
