Coming back to stay at this Protea Hotel has been a revelation. They give credence to the adage that change is as good as a holiday! Why...? Well no longer are they the little old Road Lodge type accommodation near the highway. I am delighted to say that they have transformed themselves with the appointment of new staff with a... More

Samrand Protea Hotel is like being at home! The staff demonstrate the highest levels of hospitality. The check in is always swift and efficient. The rooms are clean and really very comfortable. The food is excellent with the kitchen making efforts to ensure that the guest is satisfied. Interacting with the staff makes one feel like being at home -... More

The hotel is situated in an industrial area where there is really notting to do miles around. I made a mistake in the booking as I wanted to be close to the Gallagher Convention Center for an exhibition. Staff is nice and friendly, rooms are ok, but restaurant is not really a good deal. You can eat much better for... More

Rooms are very large and clean and tidy and they have local TV channels and Sky news. There is a kettle with coffee and tea, and a safe in the room. Nice shower though with good pressure. This hotel is not a family hotel. If you need to be anywhere on business between sandton, midrand and pretoria areas then its... More

This place is OK, but only if you paid little. It is really not up to the Protea Hotel chain's standards. Rule of thumb: don't pay more than you would pay for an old Road Lodge room. On arrival, my room had cleaning chemical smells lingering in the air, and they made me sick. The hotel swiftly moved me to... More

This hotel is strategically located in Midrand, halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria. As I needed to be in both cities, this hotel suited me just right. This hotel offers more spacious rooms than hotels in a similar category and good value for money. Staff was efficient and friendly, room clean and breakfast adequate. The bathrooms have recently been renovated and... More

Stayed at the PH Samrand this past weekend and it really wasn't too bad at all. Stayed in one of the disabled rooms, which was more than ok. Room had a double bed, tv, tea/coffee making facilities and the bathroom had a bath and one of those showers in the bath, which might be a bit difficult for some disabled... More

located in the middle of an industrial area, it a rather depressive place to be. Basic facilities, actually it is just a motel!
