I stayed one night in this hotel. When I was on my way to the airport, I realized that I forgot my Kindle in the room. I called right away to the hotel and ask, they confirmed to me that they had my Kindle in the safe place. I informed them that my colleague will stay there in 3 days and pick it up for me. However, when my colleague checked in, he asked about my Kindle, they said that they can not find the Kindle, they will check and get back to him. Next day, still no one contact to him. Then he called to reception again 4 times, each time they answered the same. Then I called them 2 times, one time they hang up the phone on me, another time I asked for the name of the person who I am speaking with ( her name is Carina) which I think it is the same person I speak earlier. That is why they could not hang up the phone on my face. She said she would check and get back to me, upon taking my phone number to call me back and still no one call me back. On the other hand, my colleague called and asked to speak with their Manager, again the receptionist said they will talk to their supervisor and call him back. Nothing again!!! In the end, my colleague has to go down to reception and asked to speak with their Manager. The Manager said he did not know about anything and will check and call my colleague to his room. But my colleague insisted that he will wait at reception until they find my Kindle. That is when they give back my Kindle to my colleague. Unbelievable! I can not believe that they need almost a day to check if they have my Kindle or not while I had them confirmed that my Kindle is in safe place 3 days ago. What makes me angry is that they said they would check and get back to my colleague and me, and no one called back, we had to call so many time for the same useless answer. And if my colleague did not insist to wait at the reception, I think I would lost my Kindle! I can’t believe it is a 4 star hotel and I had to go through such a drama to get back my Kindle. So beware of your belonging! …

Response from Tania Malan, General Manager at Protea Hotel Fire & Ice Johannesburg Melrose Arch
Responded 01 Dec 2020
Dear annahuynh1612 At the outset, I would to offer my sincerest apologies for the way in which you were inconvenienced by trying to locate your kindle, which was left behind at the Hotel. After investigation, we have found that the kindle was indeed safely locked up at the Reception and although it was handed to your colleague in the end, the effort and phone calls you had to make to ensure that this was done is absolutely unacceptable. Please be assured that no malicious intent was found in our investigation. The kindle was handed in and kept in the safe, but due to staff rotation, I can definitely attribute this to poor communication within the department handover process. We have definitely put all measures in place to ensure that this process is improved immediately. Again, our sincerest apologies. We do hope and trust that it will not be too long before your next stay as we would appreciate another opportunity to regain your trust and proof our reputation in this manner. Yours sincerely

We stayed as crew member from 14th October till 17th October of 2020. Mainly i would like to say, the staff is nice, mostly helpful, try to communicate immediately which is smt nice for the guests. Breakfast is also nice and enough, just i’m pointing out the omelette corner, it wasn’t enough clean and appetizing for whom who saw the making of eggs. Wi-fi is also good enough, needed no access-code, easily you can connect. The biggest point that i would like to write about was the crowd. Three days long the entrance and lobby were crowded full of people and some of them weren’t putting a mask on the face. With fulled of luxurious cars at the autopark there had been celebration, happy birthday parties, live music etc. Not only risks of Covid-19 but also noisy pollution in the late night were not so good for guests Anyway in a secure location, not far away from mall there are many facilities for eating, with comfortable rooms, you can consider as an option.…

The staff at the hotel treated us like family. Hotel manager Tania, Nonnie, and the rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful. We visited during the beginning of the coronavirus and they were always very helpful with information and helping us figure out travel plans. There are many unique lounges, Apple computers, nice bar inside with outside seating near pool, good restaurant and room service, cool milkshake bar, and the best breakfast spread we had during our trip to South Africa. I wholeheartedly thank Tania and her staff for a great stay!
