Protea Hotel Durbanville

I stayed here whilst in Cape Town and loved it. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are really spacious. There's a bar/restaurant that does specials every day and the food is very good. It also has a happy hour and I can vouch for the Windhoek lager there too. Security is very rigorous and there's easy access to the nearby road network. The staff are super friendly and made my stay feel special. The hotel needs an elevator but that is my only minor quibble. I would definitely stay here again.

The ambience is good and better than its sister hotel down the road in Tyger Valley. BUT do not land up in the "attic" (called politely an"an apartment" I believe) as there is no shower and you can hardly stand up in the bathroom because of the roof trusses. The food menu and (local) wine list is comprehensive. The breakfast is very good as is the service!

From the time of booking to the time of check out, I experienced excellent service. I recommend this hotel - room was spacious, queen size comfortable bed with crisp white linen and towels. The room opened onto an individual deck, offering a space to soak up the sun. Breakfast hours from 6.30 - 10.30 am, in case one wants to sleep in. The buffet caters for all - the waffles and crumpets with fresh cream were divine. All the staff that we interacted with were amazing, special mention of Luko and Kaya, and then special kudos to Ruth who went over and beyond to assist us with transport. Ruth definitely delivered the Protea promise. The Tyger Valley Mall is a 10 minute drive away, with the D' Aria wine farm 6 minutes away. Entry to the hotel grounds is covered via a security check point. Improvements to the evening food menu is needed and the size of the shower. I suggest having either a bath or a shower, thereby making the shower cubicle more spacious.
