Matthew at Sea Point!
by Paula&Matt
We stayed at the Protea Sea Point in September 2004. It was a good sized room which was clean and comfprtable. Two beds pushed together (us Brits arent used to that!) and two small duvets. They say each room has a view of either table mountain or the sea, which isnt entirely true. We had "a view of the sea" which meant we could see it over the top of a palm if we went out onto the balcony and looked left. I didnt see the mountain views, but we were virtually at the base of Lions Head so you would have been able to see that really well. The Hotel is currently refurbishing some of its rooms, so there is a notice stating that there will be noise disturbances between 9am and 5 pm monday to Saturday, so if you nap in the afternoon, dont stay here, the noise is deafening! (but we were out all day!) the staff were very firnedly and the food was fantastic. Sea Point is a good area (it has a bad part which they recomend you dont walk around at night at all!) and is a 10 minute bus ride from here to thte Waterfront that costs 2.90 rand (25p!)
it has a great deck on the 4th floor with a plunge pool, but it ws too cold to use it!
