Protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge Reviewed by Margareta Ohné on 10 March 2008
Crammed space in bathroom and toilet. Poor ventilation. Beds ok. Breakfast excellent with a breathtaking view of Table Mountain. Comfortably close to the Waterfront.

Protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge Reviewed by Marcellus Cook on 20 January 2008
Look this place is great for the Budget traveller. Its not great for younger kids and families where you require a bit more space to move about. The rooms are very small and the lighting I found was dim in both the corridors and rooms. If they knocked down a few walls and made a few suites with a major refurbishment. They will attract a wider market because the location is so close to the waterfront.

Protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge Reviewed by Gabriela Crosley on 7 January 2008
Misleading information: We assumed Twin Share Shower means room with two beds and a shower, not two separate rooms sharing a shower. Breakfast was not included, this was not clearly specified anywhere. Time Out Cafe/Bar is GREAT, really enjoyed the possibility to have quiet snacks / drinks - friendly staff. Rooms really small, but OK. Staff replaced towels when not necessary, and forgot to wash used tea cups. All in all, considering the prime location, good value for money.
