Hoteles cerca del The Big Hole and Open Mine Museum, Kimberley

Somehow I was not able to contact the hotel by an email in order to get a pick up from the airport, a bit strange for a Protea hotel. I was able to get in contact with Crystalshuttle which offered a fixed rate of ZAR100, which was quite reasonable. The drive from Airport KIM is approx. 15 min. Yes I choose Protea Hotel because of its location next to The Big Hole Museum, which was my purpose of my visit to Kimberley. Protea Kimberley is a Classic hotel, true to its old heritage, which I found very charming. I was lucky to have some peace and quiet during my short stay, and it takes you 1 min. to walk to the museum. Check in was swift and welcoming. I needed to keep my medicine cool, and the staff brought a fridge to my room, now thats what I call good service :-) My room was of good size (ground floor), big comfy bed, stable wifi, telly, aircon, coffee/Tea & kettle (restocked everyday), 1 bottle of water provided everyday. Bathroom of good size, waterpressure very weak and only cold water, shampoo and moisterisor provided. There are no plugs for shawers/ toothbrush etc. in the bathroom. The premises and the rooms was clean and well maintained. I choose to have my breakfast at the hotel (ZAR195) which had a good selection of hot and cold items and great coffee. I also had two meals during my stay which were both well prepared and tasty. All served with a smile by the wonderful staff. I ordered a wake up call for my early departure next morning, the young man at the front desk did not seem to care much about the request and unfortunately I did not receive that wake up call, only woke up 15 mins. prior to my departure making my departure a bit stressfull. Morning staff didnt seem to care much and wished me a good day....A sad ending to a lovely stay. I was happy to visit Kimberley and I did enjoy my stay at the Protea until my departure.

Kimberly era una ciudad que se había desarrollado en la mina de oro de Sudáfrica en aquel momento, por lo que el hotel tenía cien años de historia. La figura 1 era la cuna del hotel en aquel entonces. La figura 2 era la cuna del hotel ahora. El piso no cambió, pero la cuna ya no se vio. Hay muchas habitaciones del hotel, el hotel más grande de las habitaciones que haya vivido aquí. El hotel tiene un estacionamiento, Wi-Fi, un desayuno auténtico occidental, aunque no muy rico, pero el sabor de los huevos es bueno. Las fotos de la habitación no están disponibles, porque después de todo, las instalaciones están envejeciendo, el suelo está en ruido, no puede soportar la luz, pero no hay problema vivir en una habitación. La habitación originalmente planeada por la recepción estaba en la carretera. Me ha cambiado una habitación tranquila por miedo a que el vehículo pasara por la carretera.
