“Good Location”

Oct 08, 2025seym7

The hotel suited our needs for our short stay. It is a nice area of Johannesburg with several nice restaurants nearby. We ate in the hotel restaurant in the evening and the food was good and very reasonably priced. The breakfast was equally good with a huge selection to choose from. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and always cheerful. The rooms were quite small with the shower in the room with a curtain round for privacy. We found that a little unusual. There is another Marriott hotel opposite. For the short time we were in Johannesburg this hotel was adequate for our needs.

“Always happy at a Marriott”

Location is great, felt safe walking around to go to the shops and around the area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant did a great breakfast, and the room and facilities were good Marriot standard.

“Ok for a short visit”

Sep 08, 2025World-travel-MS

Stayed at the protea Johannesburg for 2 nights. The hotel is quite simple, there is a gym, outdoor pool and restaurant. We had a room on the ground floor, the room was ok. The bed was very comfortable which I appreciated, but the rest was quite basic. Amenities are very simple, packet coffee and tea and soap bar, shampoo, body wash. Shower is a little small, so bigger people might struggle a bit. The decor was pretty dated but we weren’t in the rooms very long. Wifi is a bit spotty, not the best. Sound proofing is not good between the rooms… you can hear everything, every cough, everything in the bathroom, it’s very loud and I woke up multiple times to people coughing or using the toilet or talking. Breakfast offering is good with lots of options. In terms of location, they have a shuttle to the nearby gated area with shops which is useful, however given there is another Marriott group hotel there, if I came here again next time I would stay at the Marriott that’s within the complex. There is a sports bar just outside the hotel here and the food was surprisingly quite good!
