Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
When i checked in I was not happy about the size of the bed because it was not the standard queen size bed. However the manager on duty Nicholas was very helpful in getting me another room. In the morning i had to leave @9am leaving my partner sleeping. When she was leaving at around 11am the lady Joan at the reception told her that I had not paid for the room. This was a big embarrasment.She went on and paid and called me. I went to the hotel and spoke to Joan who immediately apologised and promised to refund the money in 24hours.This never happened I have tried to get in touch with the manager Samuel Ssembatya to no success they keep on telling me he is in a meeting.Calling the hotel is a bit expensive because i came back to the USA.

Noise! Noise! Noise! There are a number of night clubs across the road from the hotel and the music was so loud I had to call reception at 1am and ask to be moved (which they did). The next morning I awoke to the banging of the construction activities happening on the other side of the property! I will not be staying at the Protea again in a hurry (if I do I would definitely find a room as far from the Kololo road as possible), I think Protea are going to struggle to fix this.

Nice hotel, central location

Hotel is in a good central position, food is excellent and staff are very helpful and welcoming, particularly Noah. However, lots of building going on in the area at the moment and so can be noisy during the day. At night, lots of loud music in the surrounding area, on Thursday and Friday night this went on into the early hours - is possible to drown it out a bit with the air conditioning but not great if you are a light sleeper
