I had a great stay at Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! The location in Melrose Arch felt super safe, which I really appreciated while exploring at night. The Hollywood-themed decor was quite fun, but I wasn't a fan of the shower being right next to the bed, which felt a bit odd. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, making it an enjoyable experience overall.

I was upgraded to a fantastic suite with a separate sitting area and a comfortable king bed. The modern glass shower next to the bed was unique, but I didn't completely love the setup. Overall, the room was clean and well-lit, which added to my comfort.

Facilities like the pool area and gym were good, but I didn’t get a chance to use them. The hotel offered a lot of amenities, including room service and a car hire, which added convenience to my stay.

I had a great stay at the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! My room was clean and comfortable, though the shower design was a bit confusing. The staff really made my experience, especially Noni at the front desk, who went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. The hotel is conveniently located in Melrose Arch with plenty of dining options nearby, but the dining experience itself could use improvement. Overall, I loved my time there and definitely see myself returning.

I had a wonderful two-night stay at the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! by Marriott in Johannesburg. The location was fantastic, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops, and I always felt safe in the area. The hotel itself was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and eager to assist. However, the open-concept bathroom layout might be awkward for some guests, and the service level felt a bit lacking compared to other Marriott properties I've experienced.

The room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, with a big bed that felt heavenly to sleep on. Though the shower layout was a bit unconventional, which might not suit everyone, it didn't detract much from my overall experience.

While the staff was friendly and accommodating, I found the service could be a bit lacking at times compared to my expectations from a Marriott. I still appreciated their efforts, like helping me with an extra bed for my daughter at no charge.

The hotel boasted great amenities, including a lovely pool area perfect for a relaxing afternoon. I wish they had drink service at the pool, though, as that would have enhanced the experience.
