Protea by Marriott Hotel Stellenbosch

Protea is one of the Marriott Hotels. The experience is quite great. Located on wine farm lands and a view of the Table mountain, I enjoyed my short stay here. Here are things I loved about my stay:
The place/residence is accessible and disability friendly. That's a bonus of inclusion for me to see disabled people in a space.
Dietary considerations are in place- if you are vegetarian or Halal or no pork considerate person, this is a place.
The gym is must go to- its both spacious and have nice gym equipment I haven't found in most hotels.
There is a swimming pool- didn't use it because its cold these days.
The staff is friendly and rooms are quite silent enabling you to rest and work.
Its a spacious place, its a like a village of its own.

My deslikes: - The food (especially supper) was not great all through. I wish more African dishes are considered and have a category of soups served.
The rooms didn't have a flat iron and dim lights, they are too shiny all way through.
Rooms might not be quite spacious meaning its only suitable for couples or solo travellers.

I have nothing against this accommodation spot, but the architecture does not say hotel to me, looks more like a lodge. There is a hotel looking like building but it's tiny compared to usual hotels. I guess it's not 5 star material.

Wow the chef's work is impeccable on the other hand. Succulent tender and juicy beef stew. None of the veggies were overcooked at all. Super amazed and just for that I'll give it a 4 star instead of 3. I'm not particularly moved by the service of the staff a bit lackluster as I just feel a lacking.

Very comfortable stay. Perfect location for business trips in Stellenbosch, walking distance to all offices in Techno Park. Delicious breakfast, super fast check-in and beautiful views of the vineyards. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, and the rooms are clean. But they desperately need to updated. There are cupboards hanging sligly loose, old old shower heads. Broken door handles. It is actually relatively small things that would just improve the overall feeling of unloved space. New shower heads that don't waste so much water... Surely a no brainer?

There was also an overwhelming harsh chemical cleaner smell in my room due to the fact that cleaner materials were kept in a closest just outside the room. This was probably the worst. A) I could see it was cheap cleaning stuff (not environmentally friendly at all) b) the smell was so bad it would permeate why whole space, even if I kept the windows open. Not healthy.

Staff was always friendly and helpful. Appreciated that! Thank you.

Just update and maintain your rooms a bit. And some better cleaning materials. Then it would be amazing.

We arrived to a room with dishes infront of our front door. The food had been sitting there for quite a while.

While we relaxing on the grass, the people in the room upstairs had a braai and started to throw their chicken bones and garbage right infront of our door on the grass.

Later that evening we were visiting Stellenbosch and as we came back to the hotel there was about 50 cars doing burn outs and raving thier engines. It was like being at Killarney Race Track with smoke everywhere. It took us 45 minutes to enter the hotel.

We finished the night off with food poisoning and left early next morning.
