Rooms are clean and functional, but they are in need of a refresh. Also, water pressure could be better. Excellent location for our purposes. Breakfast was above average.

New to Nelspruit

Came to Nelspruit for work. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating, I was a little surprised to see on arrival they don't have an elevator. Thankfully, I'm not handicapped or disabled. I dined for breakfast and it was reasonably priced, food tasted well, there was options for everyone, and the staff were great and professional. The only thing that bothered me was everything closed early, 9pm....EVERYTHING! I'm from the USA so that was new to me, the cities shut down early during the week.

It’s a lovely small and friendly hotel with a great atmosphere The only suggestion I would make is that breakfast is very slow service as cooked breakfast items are served by one person who is also making egg dishes So frustrating to wait . Easily solved by letting guests serve themselves as they do at every Protea I have stayed at
