I had a lovely stay at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the Waterfront, and the room was clean and comfortable with a modern feel. However, the breakfast service could use a little more attention, with some minor chaos around the buffet. Overall, I got great value for my stay.

The location near the V&A Waterfront was definitely the highlight of my stay. While the hotel has a quirky charm being in a converted prison, I found the lack of services like room service and included breakfast a bit disappointing. The room itself was quite small and had some maintenance issues, but overall, it was a unique experience that had its perks.

My room was tiny and overlooked a construction site, and I even had to move to another room in the middle of the night due to a water leak. The quirky prison layout didn't add to the comfort either.
