The upgrade to the hotel is excellent. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and tastefully furnished. Parking area is secure. Wide range on breakfast offer. Limited complimentary wifi on offer.

This is a nice lodge, room very comfortable and the breakfast is very good, a lot of fruits. Next to the hotel and associated to him, there is a nice Spur steak house. The hotel is very clean, wireless everywhere and employees are friendly. The only thing that is shame is the pool, very small !

We stayed overnight at the Protea Hotel as we were on our way to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The hotel has recently been revamped and still needs attention regarding final maintenance and cleaning. I was disappointed in the condition and size of our room - carpets and walls dirty, no view as the room was above the entrance to the... More

Having stayed at this hotel in the past, I was most impressed with the renovations EXCEPT it seems not everything has been completed, so one is stepping over contractors, power cables etc. My room didn't seem to have been completed in the renovation process - no carpet, Fire detector in ceiling missing, dust & paint on the floors. Also no... More

I have visited the hotel at the end of October and they have just completed their additions. The rooms on offer are better than it was and the new entertainment area with the pool is a welcome addition, especially during summer. One of the biggest problems in the past - on-site parking- has been addressed. Well worth the stay.

The hotel is nice and cosy, with the lift full of information about land speed records. The rooms were well furnished and while the room was away from the river view, there was some view of the Orange River. Located to my business interest. However, the rate for the hotel was rather expensive considering that the shower in the room... More

This hotel does not seem to live up to the expectations of a 4 star establishment. Whilst the rooms a large and spacious, they are quite spartan in style. Had problems with the aircon and the bedside light. Both the buffet breakfast and the buffet supper were disappointing in terms of quality and service. Buffet choices were quite limited. Patrons...

After almost two weeks in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park it was nice to find this comfortable, convenient hotel. The room was quite large, we were given a two bedroom suite. Television, comfortable beds, large bathroom and shower. It's located on the main street in Upington within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful.
