Great locationFriendly and helpful staff
Lerato MabokelaSouth AfricaIdeally located across the road from the Big Hole.
EverettSouth AfricaOverall very good
Great setting, high quality of accomodation
We weren't asked if we wanted help with our luggage on arrival or departure. Things not available on the menu after placing our order.
JuanitaSouth AfricaThe bed was super comfortable.
The restaurant's service was not good.
BlignautSouth AfricaI loved the friendly staff and their helpfulness. And the breakfast was superb.
The limited amenities in the rooms. I was a bit dissapointed.
WernerSouth AfricaRedefining exceptional hospitality.
The team went out of their way to arrange my early check-in, meals were simply scrumptious, combined with the Kimberley-history-aligned interior and exterior. What an experience!
J.R.MSpainEdificio histórico, al lado del Big Hole. Ideal como parada si se cruza el país por carretera como era nuestro caso. Las habitaciones geniales
El desayuno a 250 rand, un absoluto desastre. Todo frío y no estaba rico.

Questions about Protea Hotel by Marriott Kimberley
What time is check-in and check-out at Protea Hotel by Marriott Kimberley?
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 Kimberley allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Protea Hotel by Marriott Kimberley?
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 Kimberley 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.

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Protea Hotel by Marriott Kimberley 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 Kimberley?
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 Kimberley 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 Kimberley?
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 Kimberley?
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.
