Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Johannesburg Melrose Arch

Nice hotel and very friendly staff- the room was clean and overall it was a really pleasant experience in a safe location .

Almost everything exceeded our expectations, from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out, you feel like royalty. The rooms are big and comfortable. The pillows sleep like a dream and the decor makes you feel like you're travelling back in time to when Marilyn Monroe was putting on her best show. Reception went out of their way to assist me with an extra bed for my daughter, free of charge. Breakfast was delicious. Someone is always asking if you want a coffee top up (yes please!). To the omelette chef, sir, I salute you! I LIVE for your omelettes. We even took advantage of the pool area, topped up my tan and enjoyed the clear, cool waters for a bit. If I were asked if there was anything they could do to improve our stay for next time, it would be a tiny one as this place already goes above and beyond. But, if anything, it would be to serve drinks at the pool. It would undoubtedly fulfil the dream stay. A couple of the waitresses came up to our table to tell my friend what beautiful eyes she has. If only they knew how much she needed the confidence boost, it's like God himself had sent them. Fire & Ice is simply the best! We were always greeted with the biggest smiles and best "good mornings", even told how radiant we look even though we'd just woken up. A lovely compliment goes a long way, so thank you! Fire & Ice, I miss you already and sad be back home, but will hopefully be seeing you again soon. Love, from Naples, Italy. Olex 5 • 6 days ago Experience at Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Johannesburg It was an excellent stay Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Johannesburg. The gym facilities and the room facilities were exceptionally excellent Zandile Nkosi 5 • 7 days ago Service excellence Great staff and awesome facilities Anonymous 1 • 19 days ago Bad service and stuff Bad service and stuff, didn’t even stay for over 2 hours Frequent traveler 5 • a month ago Excellent stay I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights because my go to place @ JW Marriott wasn’t available and this was in the same neighborhood. This Protea was fine with a younger more hip vibe but Marriott which is just across the road is more classy. I didn’t use the dining facilities. Solo Female Traveler 5 • a month ago Excellent Location, Very Clean, Safe and Beautiful I was a solo woman traveler to Johannesburg for the first time. I picked a perfect hotel. The location is excellent on Melrose Arch, very safe area and close by to many good restaurants. The best part is the Big Red City Bus stops right in front of the hotel. The location is an easy UBER ride to many of the tourist sites. The hotel serves an awesome breakfast with a large variety delicious of hot & cold foods. The dinner menu is also very good. The amenities are also very good. It offers excellent lounges and a beautiful court yard to relax in for drink, breakfast, coffee or to lounge by the pool. The staff were amazing, very helpful, warm and friendly. ciici arthur 5 • 2 months ago

This is a nice, comfortable hotel in a very safe area of Johannesburg. The Melrose area has several security gates and once you are inside, the whole area is very neat and safe. The fire and ice hotel is part of the Marriott chain (as is the bigger hotel across the street). The rooms are decently sized, very clean and comfortable. I kind of liked the artwork as well (see pics). The bathroom wa kind of small but that was okay with me. The hotel has a very nice buffet breakfast and wifi (both were included in my room rate), a very nice restaurant and bar (open late) including an ‘adult milkshake’ bar which was pretty cool. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Overall great choice for visitors.
