Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Tyger Valley

The property was clean. The staff was very helpful, and although we had an issue with the booking, they could make a plan with no disruption to our stay.

The geyser was not on when I arrived but I managed to figure out how to get this resolved.

Breakfast quality and availability were excellent. The view of the city and the Table Mountain rising above, from the balcony was beautiful.

Rooms need USB charger outlets. The desk staff helped me out.

Awesome

The room was nice and spacious, well presented and comfortable. Staff at reception were friendly and approachable whenever we needed something. The area around the property felt safe.

Noise was the main problem. On our first night a group with children was staying at the hotel, and they were out at the basketball court in the parking area right next to our room until well past 23:00, then back again at 06:30. We'd just come off a flight and a long day in Johannesburg, so that was a rough start. Reception told us the next morning that group was checking out, which they did, but every night after that we still had noise from other guests. The rooms don't seem to be particularly well sound insulated, so you hear a lot of what goes on around you. There were also water interruptions during our stay, though that's clearly not the hotel's doing.
