Not much of a tourist attraction! We were there to visit family-related locations. The hotel is far away from anything, which is OK if you have a car - which is the only way to get there! We were pleased with the hotel, which is easy to find, and were given a room overlooking the indoor courtyard. Very nice. Good food in the restaurant - which is very helpful, because there is nothing else around the hotel without going into the civic centre. The latter largely boasts fast food outlets. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Sideshwar 19 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Twin beds We booked a 2 twin-bedded rooms but were given 2 rooms with double beds instead. This was not good, but 1 room was bedding was subsequently changed, and the twin beds emerged. Rooms were clean overall, although the sink in one room was not very clear, and water emptied slowly. ##### Sideshwar Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 30 Dec 2012 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Worse hotel I have been too Managers very friendly and kind.

Standard Protea room amenities. Wi-Fi was down (for two weeks!) and check-in staff did not advise of this, making it a frustrating experience in-room trying to troubleshoot my hardware. Could hear occupants from next room wake up (alarm clock) and shower, though the bed and bedding in my room was comfortable. TV had a chronic hum-like noise on each of the channels which made it slightly difficult to hear. One of the few Protea's that offers a fitness center, so that was one of the few pluses on this trip. Overall, just an OK stay. Consider other hotels alongside this to ensure you get one that meets your needs. ##### dbcme ### 2/10 Terrible #### Maria 2 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disaster stay. VERY NOISY! My young daughter and I travelled alone and shared a room. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone and definately not go back there. VERY noisy, guests party in their rooms from 11pm to 4am, non-stop. Bedroom doors are left open with loud music and guests shouting. Some guests even cooked food in their room, bringing their own slowcookers, causing power failures in other rooms!! The building is not very soundproof and any noise in the hall can be heard in your bedroom. We stayed for 4 nights and I had not much sleep during that whole time. No manager was on duty Saturday, could not take the matter up with anyone. ##### Maria Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DSP 21 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Staff. Exceptional Comfort. Great Locati I have only in the last year of so discovered the Premier Hotel chain and I have had each and every time an exceptional experience. I travel a great deal with my work and I have a found a few hotels around the world that I look forward to staying at and this hotel chain is one of them. I arrived on the 12 May in the evening and was provided with a room that was a pleasure to return to each day. It was tastefully decorated wth a bathtub, shower, basic, etc with plenty of towels and other bathroom comforts. My room had a large size bed with pillows and more pillows. I had a fridge and a well stocked coffee and cookie station. My room overlooked a beautiful lush garden and my internet was strong and fast.... That evening i enjoyed a buffet dinner that had a large selection of food dishes for me (I am a vegetarian) and the staff were highly attentive to my dining needs. In the morning I was pleasantly surprised with another large selection of breakfast options and during my meal the General Manager ( a real gentleman) came and introduced himself to me and was genuinely interested in my experience at the hotel.... Unfortunately for me, I had left my lights on and my car would not start.... I went to see the general manager about the situation and he said "no problem' we are here to help... Now I have never been in a hotel where a GM rolls up his sleeves and pushes a car for a guest but I can assure you that this is the kind of man that the GM is....Although we could not get the ca ##### DSP ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 10 Nov 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Will not be staying here again We stayed here for 5 nights and definitely not worth the money paid. Had various issues from day 1 eg. fridge was not working when we arrived, someone came and had a look at it and said that it was okay, to cut a long story short, we eventually got a new fridge on day three after our stuff got spoiled. Secondly the safe was not working, we called two times and each time someone came to reset the safe, it was only on the third call did they realize that the batterries needed to be changed. Then our room card did not work two days in a row before we had to go to reception and tell them to encode it for our entire stay. We also ordered room service one of the evenings and some of the items orderd were not available even though it was listed so we ended up with our second choices. Fair enough, things happen but most of these could have be avoided and worst of all, not once did someone apologize for anything! Definitely not 4\* service. I must say that the room was comfortable, although it would have been better if there was a double bed instead of two single beds pushed together. We booked the superior room which was okay but cannot be compared to other similar priced hotels. To top everything off, the gym and pool was out of order. Lets hope that no one else has the same experience. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Le Roux 14 Mar 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avoid Property was not clean. Stains/Marks on the floors in the foyer and in the room. Very noisy. No facilities/services available after 9pm, including no food/beverage. Very old and tired furniture. Staff seemed inconvenienced during check-in. ##### Le Roux Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charl 12 Oct 2021 Average hotel at best breakfast was disappointing for the money but great wifi though ##### Charl Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [NH Budapest City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-NH-Budapest-City.h971977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Stansted](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d6189-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Vela Khao Lak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takua-Pa-Hotels-La-Vela-Khao-Lak.h18343065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostels Benidorm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hostels.d181363-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Caravan Parks Costa Brava](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Brava-Caravan-Parks.d6023506-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [Sporthotel Igls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Innsbruck-Hotels-Sporthotel-Igls.h11692.Hotel-Information) > > [Houseboats South Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Coast-Houseboats.d6046244-aaHouseboats.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Exeter-Sandy-Park.h72626765.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Mallorca Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mallorca-Island-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d602317-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Boutique Hotels in South Bank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bank-London-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-n6054506-0-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dartmouth-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d4621-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Stables Inn Aintree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Stables-Inn-Aintree.h41345404.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Port Talbot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Caravan-Parks.d5624-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Pattaya Beach Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pattaya-Beach-Road-Hotels.0-l553248634979143260-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Bell in Ticehurst](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadhurst-Hotels-The-Bell-In-Ticehurst.h4985020.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hook](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels.d6052589.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Stellina Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chania-Hotels-Hotel-Stellina-Village.h83441891.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Eindhoven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eindhoven-Hotels.d1115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bespoke Inn Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phoenix-Hotels-Bespoke-Inn-Scottsdale.h6152687.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Porto Seguro (BPS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bps/london-to-porto-seguro) > > [Flights from Larnaca (LCA) to Ghobeiry (BEY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lca/bey/larnaca-to-beirut) ### Cars > [Car hire in Dalston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Dalston.d553248622849347688.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Elounda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Elounda.d6051678.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages ---
