The staff are very friendly, the room is clean and all necessities are there. A very nice place to stay. I stayed over on my way back to East London from Somerset West as I needed to meet with someone the following morning

Basic, reasoably priced 4 what you get and it is central aswell, Breaksfast is buffet style with a good range of foods.The main problem here is, as another traveller mentioned on Tripadvisor is the poor quality of cell reception. Hotel staff were not able to give a reason, but this is a major minus for business travellers.

We needed accomodation for the weekend while attending a wedding. The hotel is older, but its well kept and clean. The bathroom has a proper shower inside the bath with a glass partition. Always good to have a decent shower. We had a king size bed as upgrade on prokard. Was a great sleep. Friendly staff, superb omelettes! They only... More

The friendly staff and comfortable room made me feel at home. The internet connection provided came in very handy and the breakfast each morning was delicious. If I ever travel to George again I would definitely make use of the Protea Hotel Outeniqua again.

I have stayed at this hotel years ago and stayed there again last week. The rooms and bathrooms are very similar to what they were in the late 1990's but the bed seemed very new with new blankets and it was really comfortable. Hotels that have a good desk and chair for work are essential for me and this hotel... More
