Great hotel in great location
We stayed two nights in the nice and quiet village of Clarens. The hotel is comfortable and has nice service and breakfast. Very convenient for walking the little downtown, do the hikings around or drive to the Golden Gate National Park. Recommended.

Average stay.
It was lovely to stay in Clarens and at the Protea Hotel but there are wayyyyyy better options available. The buffet breakfast was very good. But the rooms were small and there wasn’t much in the room itself. I would have wayyyy rather used that money somewhere else.

They didn’t have common SA known teas and served some cheap foreign black tea 😩 Their breakfast chefs seemed inexperienced and under trained. Overall excellent location for the hotel. They could also do with newer towels.

Room with a view
Our welcome was perfect, and giving us a choice of room, assisting with the app, always greeting us with a smile! When my husband lost his driver's license, the staff was there to help us! A place to return to.

No room with a view
The hotel is well-sited, and in good condition, but when we stayed was very empty, and they still put us in a room with no view. The chef (who, for some reason, helped us with our luggage) attempted to convince reception to put us in a better room, but they were having none of it.
