I booked this hotel in error thinking I was booking the other Protea Marriot but no harm done! Just check if you are in town as there are two. The hotel is located in a street with shops, bars, coffee shops etc and you can walk down to a shopping area near by. Everything in the immediate area seems nice, clean, safe. The hotel has nice and quite quirky decorated public areas, bar, and pool area. Its a nice place to relax. Wifi was good. The room was nice too, a cool laid back feel with soft blue and white tones. There's not much of a view as its a city location. The bed was comfy and the linen all nice and clean and fresh. The AC in the room is quiet and effective. The front desk staff were excellent, very welcoming and helpful. Recommended for business trips etc.
