Nice old vibe with history

Had problems with the aircon system. It was a weakend of 39 degrees days and aircon did not cool the room at all, even after we asked to be moved to another room. They need to make a plan with the aircon system of the rooms.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Protea Hotel Kimberley, situated next to the famous Big Hole in Kimberley, South Africa. The hotel itself was everything I could have hoped for - comfortable and spacious rooms and stunning views of the Big Hole. The restaurant offered a delicious range of meals, while the bar was the perfect place to unwind with a refreshing drink. The hotel's location was the real highlight of the stay. The hotel has direct access to the Big Hole historical area through a small gate The museum, exhibitions, and viewing platform all provided a fascinating insight into the history of the mine. Overall, I would highly recommend the Protea Hotel Kimberley to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the area's rich cultural heritage.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I was tired after driving fron Kathu and seeing customers all day, so I decided to eat at rhe hotel and chose to have the buffet. Worst decision EVER. They were out of chicken. The beef chuck was so tough it was inedible. The pork had so much fat on it, it too was inedible. When I told them about it, they sent the kady chef to me. I asked her if she knew that chuck for a stew should be pressure cooked. She did know this. But it was not done. I asked if they are buying substandard fatty meat (pork). She told me that they were supposed to cut the fat off before cooking it and did not do so. When in the room, I had to switch off the fridge as it sounded like fishtank. The room also had an old and musty smell. Had to leave the windows open the whole night, which also allowed the noise from other guests in. It is such a shame that a hotel of that stature and history is let go to the dogs. It is most certainly not worth the almost R2,0000 per night that they charge. I will NOT be staying there again. SAD, SAD, SAD!!!!!

AT

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Rooms were okay, but service was poor. Housekeeping only cleaned the room once. Didnt sweep the floor or clean the cups glasses. Only left 2 towels, whilst the room was a double room housing 4 people. While dining at the reataurant, the chicken was still raw when served. That after we waited more than an hour for our food, without any indication from the waiters that there will be delays. At check out the staff member had the nerve to acuse me of not paying my restaurant bill, which was not true as I paid the bill after dining even though the kids were served raw chicken. This speaks to the overall poor management of the facility. I will not stay at this establishment again and will not recommend it to anyone. Very disappointed.
