Room two small

4.0

Staff were really nice, but the rooms were very small. We booked a two bedroom and you could barely walk in and put your luggage anywhere. You couldn’t walk into the washroom comfortably because it was so tiny. The shower stall is in a separate room from the toilet, which is fine however, it does not have a curtain or any way for the water not to fall on the floor.

Fantastic location and superb breakfast

10.0

The location is excellent, just a short walk from the Waterfront. It’s a fascinating property with rooms spread across several buildings of a former prison. Despite its history, the rooms were extremely clean and very quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast was outstanding, featuring specialty coffees and an omelet station where you could customize your order. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something a bit different. Would definitely stay here again!

ElinaTee · HELSINKI, UUSIMAA · 2026-02-08

We'd stay again due to its proximity to the Waterfront.

8.0

Having stayed at a number of Protea Hotels during our trip along the Garden Route and back, we found this one to be equally as good as most of the others. First and foremost the position is excellent with just a short walk across to the Aquarium and the Water Shed. Our room was comfortable - we were on the 2nd floor of Building 1 - although as in every hotel we've been in the duvet is far too heavy for the summer temperatures, even with air con. Breakfast is served in Building 3 which can be easily accessed by walking through Building 2. Breakfast is the same of all the other Protea Hotels - perfectly good with plenty of choice. We'd certainly stay again.

MBA Stay

10.0

As a student at the University of Cape Town GSB, I stayed at the Breakwater Lodge and enjoyed my stay. The Stonebreakers Restaurant is top notch and serves exceptional breakfasts and dinner. Walking distance to The Waterfront so can access anything you need.
