Friendly staffGood locationClean and comfortable beds
LeratoSouth AfricaThe location
I asked for 2 single beds but then the beds were made as if it's 2 people sharing the same bed.
Why didn't they provide bedding utensils for each bed
And the noise from the neighbors wherever they were…
IsabelleUnited KingdomAwful and we will never stay in a Protea again.
It was close to the N1 highway and had hot water. The front of house staff were friendly.
No shower gel or shampoo in room, food was disgusting, both meals were really disappointing.
RenierSouth AfricaGood stay, great breakfast
Exceptionally friendly staff. A decent room, with everything I needed. The location was also great, as it was very close to the university.
The room was very close to the bar/reception area, and a lot of noise was coming…
PetronellaSouth AfricaGreat
I wish they had a mini bar fridge in the room but I have no complaints. Rooms were clean. Room service was great and their staff were friendly especially the males - very friendly and helpful.

Matrass
HelbergSouth AfricaGreat stay
The service, friendly staff, lovely room.
The TV offerings weren't great, especially because we couldn't tune in to the other DMX channels to listen to music channels.

Questions about Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein
What time is check-in and check-out at Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
