8.6/10 Excellent! (531 reviews)
We had a great experience at the Protea Hotel. Check in and out was efficient and all employees extremely courteous and helpful. The restaurant prepared breakfast to go on short notice due to our early departure. The facility is immaculately kept and tastefully designed. The location was great and we were able to safely walk the streets at night and experience some of the local culture. Highly recommended and would love to return in the future.

How do I get a cheap travel package to Esseldene?
One of the simplest ways to save cash (and time) is to bundle your bookings with Expedia. Flights, hotels, activities and rental cars — we've got everything you need. Choose a combination that best fits you and watch your savings pile up. Of course, a travel package is never a one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer over 550 airlines and 1,000,000 properties globally, which lets you customize your Esseldene getaway.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Esseldene holidays?
Your bank balance shouldn't get in the way of escaping on holiday, so Expedia has devised a solution to help. Now that we've formed a partnership with online lender Klarna, it's easier than ever to book a dream getaway without exhausting your savings. Klarna offers flexible payment options at checkout that take the stress out of budgeting for your trip. Consider one of these flexible payment options:
- Pay monthly holidays: Klarna has convenient monthly payment plans that work for all types of budgets, so you can escape on that well-deserved holiday now.
- Pay in instalments holidays: With this Book Now, Pay Later option, Klarna allows you to pay for your trip across multiple transactions.
- Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your trip (rather than the total upfront) makes it easier to click that "book now" button, go for a low deposit holiday payment plan from Klarna.
