An absolutely fabulous "business" hotel neatly parked just off the N1 between Johannesburg and Pretoria - very easy to get to and despite the proximity of the freeway, surprisingly quiet - the hotel is low and spread out (two floors, not your typical hotel block!) with a most pleasant courtyard style garden and pond/water feature, and is a friendly oasis...

I made the mistake of using the telephone in my room. I figured it couldn't be much more than a cell phone call. I made a 28 minute call, off peak and to a national landline. At standard rates the call should have cost me R8. Add some infrastructure usage and a profit margin and anything up to R60 is... More

I stayed at this hotel because of meetings in Midrand and I was a bit worried about the surroundings (very industrial and bare). However, this impression disappears as soon as you cross the entrance guest. The Protea staff is very nice and helpful and the room are exactly as they should be: comfortable and clean. The garden is also very... More

I stay here when even I am in SA on business. Mainly because my business is in Midrand. They really go out of their way to do it right.... I always get the very personal messages on my bed when ever I check in. They actually reminded me of my tenth stay with a lovely chocolate bar.... That made me... More

I stayed here for eight nights, 6 of which were for business. It was a hectic and busy week and each night that I returned to the hotel I instantly relaxed and was able to get some balance back in my day! The rooms I stayed in was comfortable, the food was always well prepared and tasty, and the staff... More

Beautiful hotel!!! Loved it so much. Unfortunately, I only used the room and did not eat there. From now on, it is definitely my first choice hotel in Johannesburg. Unfortunately, I can't really afford to stay there more in terms of price, but every time they have a special, I'll be there! More
