The pool is a bit small but workable. The menu is overpriced especially the Christmas lunch😢. Be sure to put in enough supplies to cater for the number of people who booked for the room. Overall we had fun, we like the place and will definitely go back there. And big up to house keeping, you guys are doing an amazing job.

The hotel was pleasant and the staff were fairly friendly. There was an argument on arrival about a tourism levy that apparently wasnt added by hotels.com which eventually they said they would contact hotels.com about. The room was clean and neat. The food at the restaurant was really good and i enjoyed the meal. The breakfast was a bit difficult as there was no buffet as purchased, it was a case of you must tell them what you want and they will bring it to you but they couldnt give me a menu or list of what was available. During the course of the night there appeared to be some construction taking place in the hotel with what sounded like a hammer and chisel being used in the early hours of the morning.

Strange

Noise from other rooms is disturbing. I was called to reception in the evening to come and pay a measly amount for "tourism levy" which I found strange after already having paid online and checked in.

Protea Hotel Mahikeng not recommend!

Arrived at Mahikeng Protea at 2:00pm on Saturday 29.06.19. Had booked 3 rooms 2 weeks prior to arrival. They searched online for our booking which took about 30min. We had to wait 2 hours for the rooms because they were not ready yet! While waiting we wanted to order refreshments. Had to wait for 45min. for someone to help us! Waited another 30min.to receive our refreshments. The waitress was not at all friendly. The bathroom in Room 103 was dirty and had not been cleaned. The light above the desk next to the bed was not working. I will not recommend the Protea to anyone.

Generally pleasant

Overall it was pleasant to stay at Protea Hotel Mafikeng. The only issue was noise and smell on dagga smoke on the first night - coming from a group booking of guests in the hotel, staying on the same floor as us. Although the hotel is not to blame, the reality is this experience negatively affected our enjoyment of the hotel.

Weekend in Mafikeng

The Hotel was great but offers little to support tourism. No maps, no local history, not able to provide directions to local sites or attractions. The town has little signs to assist the tourist. The Game Park is great but finding it is difficult - no signs, a hidden entrance. The Tourism Office is vacated. The Anglo-Boer sites are not marked and have no directions or information. The founding of the scout movement is not celebrated or known. The role of Sol Plaatje (founder of ANC) is not celebrated either - no sites, not even a marker on the office he worked in or the house he stayed in. The stories of the first woman war correspondent are lost. The Museum is closed. The history of the people in this area is not available - their political economy unknown. The separation from Bechuanaland, the role of Rhodes, not known. The town is poor with rubbish lining streets and the perimeters of parks or public spaces. Services casino goers and golfing weekenders only. Government offices look modern as is the University campus. The shopping malls are under construction but do have some functioning shops which provide the usual. There are few restaurants with only a few chains to choose from (boring). Staff in malls and restaurants from Zim, Bots and farther afield does make one wonder what has become of the locals. Travel 60 km in most directions you will find better places to stay and visit.

Short and not so pleasant stay

The front desk efficiently dealt with our booking. The room was clean but maintenance seems poor. The shower tap is broken the desk needs attention. The service at the restaurant is poor. There was no one to sit us down, the tables were not clean, and the food was undercooked and simply not tasty.
