Good central hotel
Pros:

Breakfast was good, although a little less hot choice seemed to be available at the weekend. Staff were very professional and helpful

Cons:

Lack of evening dining
High beds were comfortable but made life difficult for our elderly companion!

Once was enough
Pros:

Enthusiastic and supportive front staff were helpful and engaged. Property had availability for last minute same-day booking, and the staff accommodated a room change mid-stay to comply with our original booking specs. Apartment-style rooms feature a massive balcony, and if you squint while craning your neck, you can glimpse a slice of a view of Table Mountain.

Cons:

The hotel itself is dated in aesthetics and comfort — old carpeting, awkwardly shaped rooms are narrow or triangular, and harsh, cool, sterile lights make it hard to find relaxation or warmth without being exhausted. The apartment-style kitchen was barely appointed — maybe just one or two of each kind of flatware, cutlery, and glasses. Its laundry machine was wash-only, so be prepared with time and means to air-dry your clothes. The nearby restaurant that provides room service managed to provide a truly awful pizza so I have to recommend venturing out. Many worthy spots far and wide, though grocery stores for self-catering either close early or are still 10-15 minute walk away despite the central location.

I enjoyed my stay at Protea Hotel North Wharf. I'll be back!
Pros:

The apartment I rented was comfortable and ultra-convenient. I made good use of both the microwave and the washing machine. The bed was divine!

The staff working at Protea North Wharf were excellent, too. Everyone was cheerful and ever-ready to help.

Cons:

- The room I was assigned was located right next to the elevator and the area where the cleaners' carts were stored. This created quite a bit of noise.
- On the last day, there was no hot water.
