Protea Franschhoek really went the extra mile for me during my recent stay! I left the lights on on my hire car and couldn't get it started the following morning. I went in search of some help from reception and was gobsmacked with the result. The manager personally came out to try get the car started with jumper cables. I... More

Reasonably priced hotel in central Franschhoek with plenty of parking available. Rooms are on 2 levels around a nice pool with sun loungers and a lovely view of the mountains. Bedrooms are a decent size with two 3' beds and a large bathroom with shower and bath. Breakfasts were excellent with a good choice of fruit, juices, cereals, breads and... More

Stayed at the protea hotel for a few days at end of December whilst in town for a friends wedding. We had booked a suite which was great value for money and had loads of space. The swimming pool was lovely to chill in after a wee trip round some wine farms which we booked through the hotel, was nice... More

Colonial style hotel which has been beautifully renovated (or just extremely well maintained!). Mountain backdrop, huge balcony which was common to two adjoining rooms but this is not a problem in practice. Beautiful soft furnishings and plenty of space. Small plunge pool set in pleasant garden with a few sun loungers. Usual excellent staff service, cleanliness standards also top notch.... More

It was a few days away from home but yet it we were at home. A very relax and refresh experience. The service was quality from the start until we left. Everything was so intimate, personal and warm with the staff and people.

We were given the end ground floor room which was tastefully decorated in the most calming colours. Large comfortable bed in a large comfortable room with excellent coffee station, toiletries and fluffy towels. The small but adequate pool area was only a few steps from our room. The hotel's setting made for superb views of the mountains. Overall atmosphere was... More
