Protea Hotel Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge

$$ | 9 Portswood Rd., Cape Town, 8001, South Africa

Housed in an old British prison, which explains the no-nonsense building layout, this back-to-basic business hotel is functional and comfortable, if without any mind-blowing design or spellbinding amenities. Its biggest advantage is the location, a short walk up from the V&A Waterfront, and almost as close to Green Point's restaurant hub. Whereas traffic within the Waterfront itself can be a little daunting, being here you're better able to get in and away without contending with millions of shoppers.

Pros

  • A more affordable if unexciting option close to the Waterfront
  • Comfortable, if not earth-shattering, rooms
  • Comes with most perks and amenities typical of standard business hotels

Cons

  • Small fee for parking
  • Rooms are pretty basic, if neat and comfortable, and the entry-level "Smaller Rooms" are very compact
  • It's not directly within the Waterfront, which can be both a good thing (if you don't want to ceaselessly be surrounded by tourists and shoppers) or a bad thing (if you want to be close to the harbor sights)
